Copper Chromium oxide

Note. Both tetramethylene glycol (1 4-butanediol) and hexamethylene glycol (1 6 hexaiiediol) may be prepared more conveniently by copper-chromium oxide reduction (Section VI,6) or, for small quantities, by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride (see Section VI,10). [Pg.251]

By passing the alcohol vapour over a copper - chromium oxide catalyst deposit on pumice and heated to 330°, for example ... [Pg.318]

Trimethylene dibromide (Section 111,35) is easily prepared from commercial trimethj lene glycol, whilst hexamethylene dibromide (1 O dibromohexane) is obtained by the red P - Br reaction upon the glycol 1 6-hexanediol is prepared by the reduction of diethyl adipate (sodium and alcohol lithium aluminium hydride or copper-chromium oxide and hydrogen under pressure). Penta-methylene dibromide (1 5-dibromopentane) is readily produced by the red P-Brj method from the commercially available 1 5 pentanediol or tetra-hydropyran (Section 111,37). Pentamethylene dibromide is also formed by the action of phosphorus pentabromide upon benzoyl piperidine (I) (from benzoyl chloride and piperidine) ... [Pg.489]

The product is the isomer with the two phenyl groups cis to each other, since decarboxylation with quinoline-copper chromium oxide at 210-220° yields cis-stilbene. [Pg.713]

This preparation illustrates the use of the copper-chromium oxide catalyst in the r uotion of esters of dibasic acids to glycols ... [Pg.873]

The equilibrium is more favorable to acetone at higher temperatures. At 325°C 97% conversion is theoretically possible. The kinetics of the reaction has been studied (23). A large number of catalysts have been investigated, including copper, silver, platinum, and palladium metals, as well as sulfides of transition metals of groups 4, 5, and 6 of the periodic table. These catalysts are made with inert supports and are used at 400—600°C (24). Lower temperature reactions (315—482°C) have been successhiUy conducted using 2inc oxide-zirconium oxide combinations (25), and combinations of copper-chromium oxide and of copper and silicon dioxide (26).

Aromatic rings in lignin may be converted to cyclohexanol derivatives by catalytic hydrogenation at high temperatures (250°C) and pressures (20—35 MPa (200—350 atm)) using copper—chromium oxide as the catalyst (11). Similar reduction of aromatic to saturated rings has been achieved using sodium in hquid ammonia as reductants (12). [Pg.139]

Other catalysts that can be used are boron trifluoride (5), copper—chromium oxides (6), phosphoric acid (7), and siUca-alurnina (8). Under similar conditions, ethanol yields /V-ethylaniline [103-69-5] and /V,/V-diethylaniline [91-66-7] (9,10). [Pg.229]

Some more recent processes have been developed which involve direct hydrogenation of the oil to the fatty acid and 1,2-propane diol. These high-temperature (>230 °C) and high-pressure processes generally use a copper chromium oxide catalyst. [Pg.187]

Naturally occurring fatty alcohols used in the fragrance industry are produced principally by reduction of the methyl esters of the corresponding carboxylic acids, which are obtained by transesterification of natural fats and oils with methanol. Industrial reduction processes include catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of copper-chromium oxide catalysts (Adkins catalysts) and reduction with sodium (Bouveault—Blanc reduction). Unsaturated alcohols can also be prepared by the latter method. Numerous alcohols used in flavor compositions are, meantime, produced by biotechnological processes [11]. Alcohols are starting materials for aldehydes and esters. [Pg.9]

Synthesis from Geraniol or Nerol. ( )-Citronellal can be obtained by vapor-phase rearrangement of geraniol or nerol in the presence of, e.g., a barium-containing copper-chromium oxide catalyst [63]. [Pg.39]

Copper-chromium oxide (HJS2) was prepared as reported by Adkins and coworkers.7... [Pg.34]

Dihydrophenanthrene has been prepared from 2,2 -bis(bromomethyl)biphenyl and sodium 8 from the reduction of 2,2 -diiodobibenzy 1 in the presence of 1% palladium on barium carbonate catalyst 8 by the hydrogenation of phenanthrene in the presence of nickel8 or copper-chromium oxide catalyst 10 and by the coupling of 2,2 -bis(bromomethyl)biphenyl with lithium phenyl.11...
