20120041169 | METHOD FOR PREPARING A DIALKYL CARBONATE OF DIANHYDROHEXITOL - A method for preparing dialkyl carbonates of dianhydrohexitol, includes the following steps: (a) preparing an initial reaction mixture containing at least one dianhydrohexitol, at least two mole equivalents of a dialkyl carbonate of formula and a transesterification catalyst; (b) heating the reaction mixture to a temperature greater than or equal to the boiling temperature of the formed alcohol, or of the azeotrope thereof, in a reaction chamber preferably provided with a rectification column including a sufficient number of theoretical distillation plates to separate the resulting alcohol from the reaction mixture. Certain dialkyl carbonates of dianhydrohexitols produced by the method and the use thereof for synthesizing synthetic polymers are also described. | 02-16-2012 |
20130281718 | HIGH-FLUIDITY NON-CAKING DIANHYDROHEXITOL PELLETS - Dianhydrohexitol pellets, whose fluidity is preserved even after lengthy storage, include between 90% and 100%, preferably between 95% and 100%, and more preferentially between 97% and 100% of dianhydrohexitols by weight, on a dry weight basis, and have the particularity of not being subject to caking. A process for preparing the dianhydrohexitol pellets is also described. | 10-24-2013 |
20140031516 | PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING POLYCARBONATE FROM DERIVATIVES OF DIANHYDROHEXITOLS BEARING TWO ALKYL CARBONATE FUNCTIONS - A process for manufacturing polycarbonate includes:—a step (1) of introducing into a reactor a particular composition (A) of at least one dianhydrohexitol carbonate bearing two alkyl carbonate functions; a step (2) of introducing a diol or a mixture of diols (B); a subsequent step (3) of polycondensation by transesterification of the mixture of monomers including (A) and (B); a step (4) of recovering the polycarbonate formed during step (3). | 01-30-2014 |
20140031517 | PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING POLYCARBONATE FROM DIANHYDROHEXITOL DIALKYLCARBONATE - A process for manufacturing a polycarbonate, having a glass transition temperature greater than or equal to 50° C., includes: ▪ a step (1) of introducing into a reactor a monomer of formula (I) and R1 and R2 being identical or different alkyl groups; ▪ a step (2) of introducing into the reactor at least one cyclic diol or a mixture of diols (B) including at least 20 mol % of cyclic diols; ▪ a subsequent step (3) of polycondensation via transesterification of the mixture of monomers including the monomers (A) and (B); ▪ a step (4) of recovering the polycarbonate formed during step (3). | 01-30-2014 |
20140158562 | PACKAGED DIANHYDROHEXITOLS HAVING HIGH CHEMICAL STABILITY - A dianhydrohexitol packaged in a packaging material that is impervious to gas, wherein the partial pressure of oxygen inside the packaging is 0.1 to 10 mbar, preferably 0.5 to 5 mbar, and more preferably 0.5 to 2 mbar. The method for packaging dianhydrohexitol, includes inserting the dianhydrohexitol into a packaging material that is impervious to gas, and then hermetically sealing the packaging, the method being carried out in an atmosphere that has a partial pressure of oxygen of 0.1 to 10 mbar, preferably 0.5 to 5 mbar, and more preferably 0.5 to 2 mbar. | 06-12-2014 |
20140378691 | METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY OXIDIZING 5-HYDROXYMETHYL FURALDEHYDE - A method for oxidizing 5-hydroxymethyl furaldehyde, includes at least one step of oxidation in the presence of an organic acid, a nitroxyl radical, an oxygen source, and an oxygen transfer agent. | 12-25-2014 |
20150183796 | METHOD OF SYNTHESIS OF A COMPOSITION CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE INTERNAL DEHYDRATION PRODUCT OF A HYDROGENATED SUGAR BY HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS - A simple, low cost, environmentally friendly and sustainable process for the production of internal dehydration products of hydrogenated sugar, implementing trivalent metal phosphate (metal (III) phosphates) as catalysts during the dehydratation step. | 07-02-2015 |
20150203507 | METHOD FOR PREPARING DIALKYLOXYDIANHYROHEXITOL BY ETHERIFICATION OF DIANHYDROHEXITOL USING A LIGHT ALCOHOL, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ACIDIC CATALYST - A method for preparing a dialkyloxydianhyrohexitol (dimethylisosorbide) composition by etherification of dianhydrohexitol (isosorbide). The aim is to achieve a “clean” method that avoids the use of a methylation agent such as dimethyl sulfate or methyl chloride, which generates stoechiometric quantities of salts, or expensive dialkyl-carbonates, wherein only one of the two methyl groups participates in the preparation of mixed isosorbide ethers. The method involves using at least one O-alkylation agent and a catalyst including an acid or an acid salt, preferably a catalyst having Lewis or BrØnsted acid properties. A device for carrying out the method wherein the device includes a vaporization oven and a reaction oven is also described. | 07-23-2015 |
