The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of an alkylfluoroacrylate starting from alkylfluoroacetate and an oxalic acid ester, wherein an alkane liquid under the reaction conditions is applied as the solvent in one of the reaction steps.

Process for the manufacture of alkylfluoroacrylate

The invention relates to a method for producing monocarbonyl compounds or biscarbonyl compounds or hydroxyl compounds by ozonizing, unsaturated organic carbon compounds that, per molecule, have one or more olefinic or aromatic double bonds, which can be cleaved by ozone, and by subsequently processing the ozonization products. According to the inventive method, unsaturated organic carbon compounds that, per molecule, have one or more olefinic or aromatic double bonds, which can be cleaved by ozone, are: (a) in 1 to 2 steps, continuously reacted with ozone in stoichiometric quantities or in excess while using counter educt currents and being in an organic solvent or in an aqueous solution inside a device, which consists of one to two absorption apparatuses, of devices for carrying away reaction heat, and of devices for separating the gas and liquid phases, and; (b) the peroxides resulting therefrom are, according to reaction parameters from step (a), converted into the corresponding monocarbonyl compounds or biscarbonyl compounds or hydroxyl compounds either by continuous or discontinuous hydrogenation, oxidation or heating.

A process for continuous preparation of a concentrated aqueous solution of glyoxylic acid by hydrolysis of glyoxylic acid ester hemiacetals, wherein glyoxylic acid ester hemiacetals are treated with steam in countercurrent in a reactor cascade.

Process for the continuous preparation of glyoxylic acid

Preparation of glyoxylic acid or derivatives thereof of the formula ##STR1## in which R denotes an alkyl radical with 1 to 10 C atoms and R.sub.1 denotes an alkyl radical with 1 to 4 C atoms, by ozonolysis of a dialkyl maleate, in which the alkyl radicals each have 1 to 10 C atoms, with the equivalent amount of ozone in an aliphatic alcohol of the formula R.sub.1 OH, and subsequent catalytic hydrogenation, in which the ozonolysis product is continuously introduced into a suspension of the hydrogenation catalyst in the alcohol of the formula R.sub.1 OH such that the peroxide content of the hydrogenation solution is not more than 0.1 mole/liter during the hydrogenation. Glyoxylic acid can be obtained from the resulting acetals of the formula I by hydrolysis.

Process for the preparation of glyoxylic acid and glyoxylic acid

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of monocarbonyl or biscarbonyl compounds by reacting organic carbon compounds having one or more olefinic or aromatic double bonds in the molecule with the equivalent amount of ozone and by subsequently catalytically hydrogenating the ozonization products, wherein the peroxide-containing ozonization solution is fed continuously into a suspension of the hydrogenation catalyst in a lower aliphatic alcohol, while a peroxide content of not more than 0.1 mole/l is maintained, and the ozonization products are continuously cleaved reductively to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds.

Process for the preparation of monocarbonyl or biscarbonyl compounds

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of glyoxal, alkylglyoxals and acetals thereof by reacting .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated dialkylacetals with the equivalent amount of ozone and subsequently subjecting the ozonization products to catalytic hydrogenation, the peroxide-containing ozonization solution being fed continuously into a suspension of the hydrogenation catalyst, while a peroxide content of not more than 0.1 mole/liter is maintained, and cleaving the ozonization products by reduction, after which the dialkylacetals formed in the hydrogenation are, if desired, cleaved to give glyoxal or alkylglyoxals.
