20100145091 | CONVERSION OF NITRILE COMPOUNDS INTO CORRESPONDING CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND ESTERS - Hydrocarbon compounds having at least one nitrile function are converted into compounds having at least one carboxylic function by hydrating the nitrile functions into amide functions by reaction with water in the presence of a strong inorganic acid, and then hydrolyzing the amide functions into carboxylic functions by reaction with water and a strong inorganic acid; the carboxylic compounds thus obtained can be esterified into diesters, advantageously diester solvents. | 06-10-2010 |
20110034724 | METHOD FOR PREPARING A TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFINIC ACID SALT - The present invention relates to a method for preparing a salt of trifluoromethanesulphinic acid termed “triflinic acid”. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for preparing a highly pure triflinic acid salt. The method of the invention for preparing a highly pure triflinic acid salt, starting from an aqueous mixture comprising the latter combined with a trifluoroacetic acid salt and saline impurities resulting from the method for preparing same, is characterized in that said mixture is subjected to the following operations: first controlled acidification such that the trifluoroacetic acid salt is essentially released in the acid form thereof, the majority of the triflinic acid remaining in a salified form, optional separation of the salts originating from the acid having been used for the acidification and recovery of an aqueous phase, separation of the trifluoroacetic acid from the separated aqueous phase comprising the alkaline salt of triflinic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, triflinic acid and the excess strong acid, therefore resulting in an aqueous phase depleted of trifluoroacetic acid but comprising the alkaline salt of triflinic acid, recovery of the alkaline salt of triflinic acid from the aqueous phase. | 02-10-2011 |
20110166385 | METHOD FOR SEPARATING A CARBOXYLIC ACID IN SALIFIED FORM BEARING AT LEAST ONE HALOGEN ATOM - The subject of the present invention is a method for separating a carboxylic acid in salified form bearing at least one halogen atom at the α position of the carbonyl group from a medium comprising it. The method according to the invention, for separating a carboxylic acid in salified form bearing at least one halogen atom at the α position of the carbonyl group from an aqueous medium comprising it, is characterized by the fact that the latter is brought into contact with an onium salt leading to the formation of two phases: an organic phase comprising the salt resulting from the reaction of the salt of the carboxylic acid bearing at least one halogen atom at the α position of the carbonyl group and of the onium salt leading to the displacement of the cation from the carboxylic acid by the onium, an aqueous phase comprising the various salts, in particular the one resulting from the reaction of the cation of the carboxylic acid with the anion of the onium, and by the fact that the organic and aqueous phases are then separated and that the onium salt of the carboxylic acid is recovered from the organic phase. | 07-07-2011 |
