The present disclosure provides processes for the production of 2-5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and intermediates thereof by the chemocatalytic conversion of a furanic oxidation substrate. The present disclosure further provides processes for preparing derivatives of FDCA and FDCA-based polymers. In addition, the present disclosure provides crystalline preparations of FDCA, as well as processes for making the same.

Processes for the preparation of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and intermediates and derivatives thereof

Shaped porous carbon products and processes for preparing these products are provided. The shaped porous carbon products can be used, for example, as catalyst supports and adsorbents. Catalyst compositions including these shaped porous carbon products, processes of preparing the catalyst compositions, and various processes of using the shaped porous carbon products and catalyst compositions are also provided.

Shaped porous carbon products

Processes are disclosed for the conversion of adipic acid to caprolactam employing a chemocatalytic reaction in which an adipic acid substrate is reacted with ammonia and hydrogen, in the presence of particular heterogeneous catalysts and employing unique solvents. The present invention also enables the conversion of other adipic acid substrates, such as mono-esters of adipic acid, di-esters of adipic acid, mono-amides of adipic acid, di-amides of adipic acid, and salts thereof to caprolactam. Solvents useful in the process that do not react with ammonia are also disclosed. Catalyst supports are disclosed which catalyze the reaction of the substrate with ammonia in the absence of added metal. Metals on the catalyst supports comprise ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir), and/or platinum (Pt). Heterogeneous catalysts comprising ruthenium (Ru) and rhenium (Re) on titania and/or zirconia supports are also disclosed. Further, disclosed are products produced by such processes, as well as products producible from such products.

Production of caprolactam from adipic acid

The present invention provides a method of producing oligomers of olefins, comprising reacting olefins with a catalyst under oligomerization conditions. The catalyst can be the product of the combination of a chromium compound and a pyridyl ether compound. In particular embodiments, the catalyst compound can be used to trimerize or tetramerize ethylene to 1-hexene, 1-octene, or mixtures of 1-hexene and 1-octene.

Methods for oligomerizing olefins with chromium pyridine ether catalysts

Alternate methods for preparing functionalized pyridyl-amine products from pyridinyl starting materials are provided herein. These alternately-prepared functionalized pyridyl-amines can be used as ligands or ligand precursors in catalytic compositions, e.g., in oligomerization reactions. Methods for such reactions are also provided herein.

Methods for preparation of pyridylamines and their use in oligomerization reactions

Metal complexes comprising certain polydentate heteroatom containing ligands, catalysts, and coordination polymerization processes employing the same are suitably employed to prepare polymers having desirable physical properties.
