摘要:
A process for obtaining Ketone of formula 1a,b, which includes contacting a Ketone represented by formula 2a,b with a first catalyst under conditions and for a time sufficient to obtain an intermediate mixture, which intermediate mixture contains a Ketone represented by formula 4a,b; and contacting the intermediate mixture, or a fraction thereof, with a second catalyst under conditions effective to provide a product containing a Ketone of formula 1a,b. Moreover, the first catalyst preferably differs from the second catalyst with the first catalyst preferably being an isomerization catalyst and the second catalyst being a cyclization catalyst. The process is capable of providing unexpectedly incresased yields of both Ketone 4 and Ketone 1.

This invention relates to a continuous process for the manufacture of &bgr;-isophorone by isomerization under homogeneous catalysis of &agr;-isophorone. The process consists of introducing &agr;-isophorone and a solution of an alkaline hydroxide into a reaction region at a temperature ranging from 150° C. to 216° C., simultaneously removing by distillation a fraction comprising an amount by weight of &bgr;-isophorone ranging from 30% to 90%, drawing off the heavy products and then rectifying the fraction removed from the reaction mixture by distillation.

The invention relates to a process for converting alpha acid and isoalpha acids to tetrahydroisoalpha acid. The process comprises isomerizing an alpha acid to produce isoalpha acid and hydrogenating the isoalpha acid in the presence of a noble metal catalyst wherein, the noble metal catalyst is added incrementally or continuously throughout the hydrogenation step. The invention also relates to tetrahydroisoalpha acids made by the above process.

For the continuous manufacture of &bgr;-isophorone by isomerization under homogeneous catalysis of &agr;-isophorone, the steps of introducing the &agr;-isophorone and a solution of an alkaline hydroxide into a reaction region, bringing the reaction mixture to reflux at a temperature at least equal to 150° C. under a equal P1 of less than or equal to atmospheric pressure, continuously and simultaneously removing from the reaction mixture: &bgr;-isophorone vapor, by distillation under a pressure P2 less than P1 and at a temperature at most equal to 150° C., and heavy products, at a rate, so that their content by weight is at most equal to 7% in the reaction mixture, and continuous returning the distillation to the reaction region.
摘要:
A process for preparing a compound of Formula (I); where Q completes an optionally substituted 5-or 6-member saturated carbocyclic ring and R is optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted C3-C6 cycloalkyl which comprises the rearrangement of a compound of Formula (II); where Q and R are as defined in relation to Formula (I) in a polar aprotic, dipolar aprotic or aromatic hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a moderate base and an azole.
摘要:
An economical process for producing (2- and/or 1-)cyclohexenyl methyl ketones which are intermediates for the synthesis of &agr;- or &bgr;-damascone. In the presence of a catalyst, a 3-cyclohexenyl methyl ketone represented by the following formula (1a): wherein, R1, R2 and R3 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and at least two of R1, R2 and R3 are methyl groups, is isomerized.

This invention describes heretofore unknown forms of dihydro (DHIA) and hexahydro (HHIA) isoalpha acids having a high ratio of trans to cis isomers and a process for their production. Also, non-precipitating clear 5, 10, 20% and higher aqueous solutions thereof, since they are soluble at room temperature in soft water. This is due to the high ratio of trans to cis isomers. Unlike prior art essentially all cis isomer products, they remain haze free both at a neutral pH in water and at 1% to 2% and higher concentrations. This invention has the advantage over the prior art in that DHIA and HHIA can be provided as stable, non-separating liquids, at practical concentrations in the range of 5% to about 40%, which do not require heating to about 50° to 90° C. and above with stirring to effect dissolution of precipitates. The high trans products described herein can be admixed with isoalpha- and tetrahydro-isoalpha acids.
