Preparation Of Substituted Hydroxyhydrocinnamate Esters By Continuous Transesterification Using Reactive Distillation

View page
US Patent:
6291703, Sep 18, 2001
Filed:
Jan 28, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/238566
Inventors:
Robert Anthony Schaerfl - Mobile AL
Michael James Day - Mobile AL
Sean Peter Piecuch - Mobile AL
Ronald Robert Tellier - Mobile AL
Assignee:
Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation - Tarrytown NY
International Classification:
C07C 6976
US Classification:
560 75
Abstract:
Substituted hydroxyhydrocinnamate esters of the formula (I) ##STR1## where R is alkyl, n is 0 to 2, m is 1 to 4 and A is alkyl, interrupted or uninterrupted alkylene, alkanetriyl or pentaerythrityl, are prepared by continuous transesterification of the corresponding lower alkyl mono-ester with an alkanol or polyol of the formula A-(OH). sub. m. This novel process comprises continuously introducing into and reacting the reactants in a heated distillation column reactor having a reaction zone which contains a solid, heterogeneous transesterification catalyst to form the compound of formula (I) and the corresponding lower alkanol; separating the products so formed based on their difference in volatility; and continuously removing said products from the distillation column at a steady rate, thereby preventing the reaction mixture from reaching chemical equilibrium. The continuous reaction results in improved product throughput and product quality and has a lower residence time, as compared to known batch-type processes.

Fluid Mixtures Of Methylidene- Or Methyl-Substituted Linear Hydrocarbons And Derivatives Thereof

View page
US Patent:
55633072, Oct 8, 1996
Filed:
May 22, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/447290
Inventors:
Robert A. Schaerfl - Baton Rouge LA
Ali M. Dadgar - Baton Rouge LA
Carroll W. Lanier - Baker LA
Assignee:
Albemarle Corporation - Richmond VA
International Classification:
C10M10716
US Classification:
585 12
Abstract:
Novel fluid mixtures of specified hydrocarbons meeting an array of structural criteria are described. Linear hydrocarbons having terminal double bonds and internal segments of specified differing chain lengths separated by one or more carbon atom(s) each of which has a methylidene substituent make up one group of such compounds. Another group is alkenyl end-capped compounds of the first group. Third and fourth groups are products formed by hydrogenation of the first and second groups, respectively. The products, whether end-capped or not, and whether hydrogenated or not, have desirable lubricating properties such as suitably low pour points and/or low NOACK volatility and/or very high viscosity index and thus can be used as base oils or as components in formulating lubricants.

Preparation Of Synthetic Oils From Vinylidene Olefins And Alpha-Olefins

View page
US Patent:
54988152, Mar 12, 1996
Filed:
Dec 13, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/806303
Inventors:
Robert A. Schaerfl - Baton Rouge LA
Ali M. Dadgar - Baton Rouge LA
Carroll W. Lanier - Baker LA
Assignee:
Albemarle Corporation - Richmond VA
International Classification:
C07C 208
US Classification:
585512
Abstract:
A synthetic oil is made by a process comprising the steps of (a) reacting a vinylidene olefin in the presence of a catalyst to form an intermediate mixture which contains at least about 50 weight percent dimer of said vinylidene olefin, and (b) adding a vinyl olefin to said intermediate mixture and reacting said intermediate mixture and said vinyl olefin in the presence of a catalyst so as to form a product mixture which contains said dimer of said vinylidene olefin and a codimer of said added vinyl olefin with said vinylidene olefin.

US Patent:
53826957, Jan 17, 1995
Filed:
May 31, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/708471
Inventors:
E. Earl Atkinson - Greenwell Springs LA
Robert A. Schaerfl - Baton Rouge LA
Edward A. Burt - Baton Rouge LA
Assignee:
Albemarle Corporation - Richmond VA
International Classification:
C07C31914
US Classification:
564440
Abstract:
Thioalkylated aromatic amines are prepared by reacting a mixture of an aromatic amine, an organic disulfide and a Lewis acid or organometallic catalyst to form a product mixture and adding to said product mixture a heavy, miscible organic base or a combination of a heavy, miscible organic base and a poly(oxyalkylene)polymer.
