Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cyclopropanecarboxylic acid by the non-catalytic, oxidation of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. Also disclosed are processes for the preparation of amides, esters and acid chlorides from cyclopropanecarboxylic acid.

Processes for the preparation of cyclopropanecarboxylic acid and derivatives thereof

A computer microcontroller (225) controls the operational functions of a video reporter (10) for superimposing real time emergency broadcast messages and information on a television picture concurrently with any programing in progress. The video reporter (10) has a signal splitting means for splitting a television broadcast signal such that the signal is transmitted to the video reporter and a TV. A tuner (210) constantly scans predetermined channels for video reporter messages of the type to be superimposed. The video messages are embedded in intelligent data having a preamble (810) which enables the microcontroller to identify the message type and determine whether it is superimposable. There is a decoding means (230) for decoding the video reporter data and a message extracting means (240) for extracting messages from the video reporter data. An overlay generating means (250) generates a video signal from the video reporter data and the video signal can be superimposed over any television picture of the programing in progress, including VCR, video game, and other programing by means for superimposing the video signal over the television picture (260).

Disclosed is a process for the conversion of off-color cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (CPC-Acid) to CPC-Acid having a color value (platinum-cobalt scale) of less than about 10 by the steps of (1) heating off-color CPC-Acid produced by the oxidation of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde with molecular oxygen with a strong acid; and (2) distilling the mixture of step (1) to obtain CPC-Acid having a color value of less than about 10 as the distillate product.

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde by the isomerization of 2,3-dihydrofuran wherein 2,3-dihydrofuran is contacted with a catalyst selected from alumina, silica-alumina, silica, zirconia, titania and mixtures thereof having a nitrogen BET surface area of about 10 to 350 square meters per gram at elevated temperature.

Disclosed is a process for the removal of organic chlorides from furan and hydrogenated furans by contacting a crude product stream comprising (i) furan, 2,3-DHF, 2,5-DHF, THF or a mixture thereof and (ii) one or more organic chlorides with a copper-containing scavenger material.

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde by the thermal isomerization of 2,3-dihydrofuran under superatmospheric pressure, e.g., at a temperature of about 300.degree. to 600.degree. C. and a pressure of about 3 to 345 bars absolute.

Process for the production of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cyclopropylmethanol(hydroxymethylcyclopropane) by the hydrogenation of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde in the presence of a cobalt or nickel catalyst.

The output of a doubly-balanced mixer of a television tuner is terminated by a network which exhibits the characteristic impedance of the mixer for both the sum and difference frequency components. The difference frequency component termination simply consists of an inductor and a capacitor connected as a series-tuned circuit and a resistive element connected in series between the output of the mixer and signal ground. The inductor and capacitor are selected resonate at a frequency in the passband of the IF section and the resistive element is selected to exhibit the characteristic impedance of the mixer. The sum frequency component termination simply consists of a capacitor and a resistive element connected in series between the output of the mixer and signal ground. The capacitor is selected to exhibit negligible impedance just below the lowest frequency of the sum frequency component and the resistive element is selected to exhibit the characteristic impedance of the mixer.
