Abstract:
The application relates to a process for the work-up of a reaction mixture (RM) comprising cyclododecatriene and an active catalyst system (C) comprising an organoaluminum compound, said process comprising the steps of: a) contacting the reaction mixture (RM) with gaseous ammonia to obtain a first mixture (M1), b) contacting the first mixture (M1) with water to obtain a second mixture (M2), c) distillatively removing cyclododecatriene from the second mixture (M2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of 1,6-difunctionalized hexane derivatives from 1,3-diunsaturated hydrocarbons, preferably butadiene, wherein a hydroformylation with carbon monoxide and hydrogen is performed in the presence of an at least dihydric alkanol and during the hydroformylation the temperature is increased. The reaction yields the acetals of the 1,6-hexanedial derivatives which are isolated and further reacted to obtain the desired 1,6-difunctionalized hexane derivatives, in particular 1,6-hexanediamine, 1,6-hexanediol and adipic acid.
