Selective hydrogenation of aromatic compounds containing epoxy group over Rh/graphite
Hara, Yoshinori,Inagaki, Hiroko
, p. 1116 - 1117 (2002)
Catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic compounds containing epoxy group to alicylic compounds has been investigated. Rh supported on graphite with high surface area exhibited superior performance to other supported catalysts for the selective reduction of the aromatic group while retaining epoxy group.
Process for the preparation of glycidyl ethers
-
, (2008/06/13)
An improved process for the preparation of glycidyl ethers of formula I STR1 wherein Q is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic radical of a valency m, R is --H or --CH3, and m is an integer from 1 to 10, by reacting an alcohol of formula Q--(OH)m with m mol of an epihalohydrin of formula II STR2 in the presence of a catalyst to the corresponding halohydrin ether, and dehydrohalogenating said halohydrin ether with an alkali metal hydroxide to give a compound of formula I, wherein Q, m and R are as defined above and Hal is halogen, which process comprises using as catalyst a) tin difluoride or b) a divalent tin halide in conjunction with a co-catalyst.
