Assignee:

Union Carbide Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C07C 1253

US Classification:

585606

Abstract:

Aldehydes can be converted to dienes by contacting the aldehydes with a non-zeolitic molecular sieve. Preferably the non-zeolitic molecular sieve has, in its calcined form, an adsorption of isobutane of at least about 2 percent by weight of the non-zeolitic molecular sieve at a partial pressure of 500 torr and a temperature of 20. degree. C. The non-zeolitic molecular sieves can achieve good conversion rates and selectivities for the reaction. The reaction is especially useful for the conversion of 2-methylbutyraldehyde to isoprene.

International Classification:

C07D20304

US Classification:

548954

Abstract:

beta. -Hydroxyamines can be converted to the corresponding aziridines by contacting the amines with a molecular sieve, which has incorporated therein at least one alkali metal or alkaline metal, the preferred metal being cesium. Molecular sieves useful in the reaction include aluminosilicates, aluminophosphates and silicoaluminophosphates. The process is especially useful for the conversion of monoethanolamine to ethylenimine.
