Catalytic Process For Converting Lower Alkanes To Esters, Alcohols, And To Hydrocarbons

View page
US Patent:
53068556, Apr 26, 1994
Filed:
Nov 27, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/799446
Inventors:
Roy A. Periana - San Jose CA
Douglas J. Taube - Hayward CA
Henry Taube - Stanford CA
Eric R. Evitt - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Catalytica, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
C07C 200
US Classification:
585500
Abstract:
This invention is a process for converting lower alkanes into their corresponding esters and optionally into various intermediates (such as alcohols) and other liquid hydrocarbons. The alkanes are oxidatively converted to oxy-esters at high selectivity and conversion and at practical reaction rates using at least catalytic amounts of certain class "B" metals and/or metal ions defined by the Pearson definition as "soft" or "borderline". Desirable catalysts comprise such metals as Pd, Tl, Pt, Hg, and Au. If so desired, the alkyl oxy-esters may be converted to alcohols or other intermediates such as alkyl halides. The oxy-esters, alcohols, and other intermediates may optionally be converted to liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline.

Process For Converting Lower Alkanes To Esters

US Patent:
52331130, Aug 3, 1993
Filed:
Feb 15, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/656910
Inventors:
Roy A. Periana - San Jose CA
Eric R. Evitt - Mountain View CA
Henry Taube - Stanford CA
Assignee:
Catalytica, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
C07C 200
US Classification:
585500
Abstract:
This invention is a process for converting lower alkanes into their corresponding esters and optionally into various intermediates (such as methanol) and other liquid hydrocarbons. The alkanes are oxidatively converted to oxy-esters at high selectivity using catalytic amounts of a Group VIII noble metal. If so desired, the alkyl oxy-esters may be converted to alcohols or other intermediates such as alkyl halides. The oxy-esters, alcohols, and other intermediates may optionally be converted to liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline.

Palladium-Nitrile Ligand Catalyst System And Oxidation Process

View page
US Patent:
47389435, Apr 19, 1988
Filed:
Aug 21, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/089008
Inventors:
Janis Vasilevskis - Los Gatos CA
Paul L. Ridgway - Mountain View CA
Eric R. Evitt - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Catalytica Associates - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
B01J 3128
B01J 3130
US Classification:
502165
Abstract:
A substantially chloride-free palladium oxidation system, comprising a palladium component, a copper component, and a ligand is described. The Wacker system, consisting of palladium and copper chlorides is also improved by the addition of a ligand. The palladium and copper counterion are independently selected from BF. sub. 4. sup. -, CF. sub. 3 COO. sup. -, SO. sub. 4. sup. =, and NO. sub. 3. sup. -. The ligand is preferably a nitrile-containing compound.
