Abstract:
Process for recovering cyclododecatriene (CDT) from a solution comprising CDT and high boilers such as deactivated catalyst and polymers, which comprises feeding the solution into a preheater and heating it, subsequently depressurizing it through a downstream pressure maintenance device and feeding the resulting two-phase mixture into a helical tube evaporator and there reducing the CDT content of the liquid phase by partial evaporation and discharging a gaseous product stream having an increased concentration of CDT.
Abstract:
Cyclododecatrienes may be prepared in a continuous process by reacting 1,3-butadiene in the presence of a catalyst system and cyclooctadiene and/or cyclododecatriene. The resulting crude cyclododecatriene product may be separated from this mixture by distillation, and 50 to 100% of the catalyst system may be recycled back into the process.
Abstract:
A series of mono, bi and tricarbocyclic compounds, most of which have olefinic unsaturation in the ring, which may or may not have substituents thereon. While the bi and tricyclic rings may be unsubstituted, these compounds which have olefinic unsaturation, particularly multiple olefinic unsaturation, are polymerizable and copolymerizable in known polymerization systems. They are particularly good crosslinking agents. These compounds are further useful in the sense that they can be cleaved oxidatively, to corresponding carboxylic acids, aldehydes and/or alcohols which have known utility in the plasticizer and detergent arts. The compounds which do not have olefinic unsaturation can also be oxidatively cleaved to produce oxygenated, e.g., acid, alcohol or aldehyde, compounds having known utility.

Abstract:
IMPROVED RESULTS ARE OBTAINED IN THE OLIGOMERIZATION OF ISOPRENE TO FORM TRIMETHYL CYCLODODECATRIENE WHEN THE REACTOR IS PARTIALLY VENTED, AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE FORMATION OF THE CATALYST COMPOSITION AND BEFORE ONSET OF APPRECIABLE OLIGOMERIZATION. THE VENTED PRODUCTS ARE MAINLY THOSE FORMED BY REACTION OF TRIETHYL ALUMINUM WITH VARIOUS IMPURITIES IN THE REACTOR.
Abstract:
PROCESS OF CYCLOCO-OLIGOMERIZATION OF A CONJUGATED DIOLEFIN, SUCH AS BUTADIENE OR A SUBSTITUTED BUTADIENE, WITH A DIFFERENT CYCLIC UNSATURATED HYDROCARBON, WHICH IS AN ACETYLENE AND/OR A NON-CONJUGATED OLEFIN, PREFERABLY A MONOOLEFIN, TO PRODUCE MULTICYCLIC PRODUCTS HAVING OLEFINIC UNSATURATION IN AT LEAST ONE OF THE RINGS. THESE PRODUCTS ARE MADE BY REACTING THE ABOVE-MENTIONED REACTANTS TOGETHER IN CONTACT WITH A CARBONYL-FREE, O-VALENT NICKEL COMPOUND CATALYST. MANY OF THE NEW PRODUCTS FORMED BY THIS PROCESS ARE DESCRIBED, CHARACTERIZED AND CLAIMED.
