Process for preparation of propionic acid derivatives

A process for the preparation of substituted benzenes or benzenesulfonic acid and its derivatives comprising diazotisation of an aminobenzene or ortho-amino-benzenesulfonic acid derivative followed by homogeneous palladium-catalyzed coupling with an olefine and heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation of the olefinic substituent, wherein the homogeneous catalyst is reduced and precipitated as metal after the coupling in the reaction mixture and used as a heterogeneous palladium catalyst for the hydrogenation step. The process is particular suitable for the preparation N-benzenesulfon-N'-triazinyl-urea herbicides.

Process for the preparation of substituted benzenes and benzene sulfonic

A process for the preparation of substituted benzenes or benzenesulfonic acid and its derivatives comprising diazotisation of an aminobenzene or ortho-amino-benzenesulfonic acid derivative followed by homogeneous palladium-catalysed coupling with an olefine and heterogeneous palladium-catalysed hydrogenation of the olefinic substituent, wherein the homogeneous catalyst is reduced and precipitated as metal after the coupling in the reaction mixture and used as a heterogeneous palladium catalyst for the hydrogenation step.

Process for the preparation of N,N'-substituted ureas

A process for the preparation of 4-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonic acid by sulfonating 4-nitrotoluene with oleum or liquid SO.sub.3 is described. The sulfonation is carried out continuously with oleum of at least 50% concentration or liquid 100% SO.sub.3 while keeping the conversion of 4-nitro-toluene in the reaction mixture at .gtoreq.90% during the entire reaction course. The process is inherently non-polluting, and provides the product in high yield and low sulfuric acid content in a form usable for 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid production without further purification.
