A process for preparing an acryloyloxysilane, comprising: reacting a metal salt of a carboxylic acid having the formula[CR&#x2550;CRCO]M&#x2003;&#x2003;(I),with a haloorganoalkoxysilane having the formulaXRSi(OR)R&#x2003;&#x2003;(II)at a temperature of from 50 to 160&#xb0; C. and in the presence of a catalyst, and in the presence of water, an alcohol comprising 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or a combination of water and an alcohol comprising 1 to 5 carbon atoms, to form a mixture comprising an acryloyloxysilane and a metal halide having the formulaMX&#x2003;&#x2003;(III),wherein Ris H, RCOOM, or C-Chydrocarbyl, each Ris independently Ror [COO]M, Mis an alkali metal cation or alkaline earth metal cation, a is 1 or 2, X is halo, Ris C-Chydrocarbylene, each Ris independently C-Chydrocarbyl, each Ris independently Rand n is an integer from 1 to 3.

Process for preparing an acryloyloxysilane

The present disclosure relates to a process for reducing the sulphur content of hydrocarbon feedstocks such as Natural Gas Condensate, Kerosene, Jet Fuel, Diesel, Vacuum Gas Oil and Fuel Oil. The process uses a tailored oxidation process comprising one or two oxidation steps to produce sulphoxides and/or sulphones. These sulphoxides and sulphones, while being still present in the liquid hydrocarbon streams, are subsequently extracted thereby producing a low sulphur hydrocarbon stream and optionally following further treatment of the sulphoxides and/or sulphones, produce a low sulphur aromatic hydrocarbon stream and an aqueous stream of sodium sulphite or sulphuric acid. The low sulphur hydrocarbon stream and low sulphur aromatic hydrocarbon stream may be individually recycled or combined for recycling.
