Filed:

Mar 27, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/248268

Inventors:

Arnold M. Harrison - South Charleston WV
Leonard Kaplan - Dunbar WV

Assignee:

Union Carbide Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C07D32300

US Classification:

549352

Abstract:

The invention relates to a process for preparing cyclic polyethers from cyclic alkylene carbonates in the presence of a solvent, wherein the process is carried out in the presence of a solvent selected from the group containing a carbonyl moiety, nitrile moiety or mixture thereof. In addition, ionic catalysts may be employed to increase the selectivity to cyclic polyether.

Appl. No.:

7/670876

Inventors:

John R. Briggs - Charleston WV
John M. Maher - Charleston WV
Arnold M. Harrison - South Charleston WV

Assignee:

Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C07C 4719
C07C 29158

US Classification:

568496

Abstract:

A process for producing a 1,3-diol, e. g. , 1,3-propanediol, and/or a 3-hydroxyaldehyde, e. g. , 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde, is disclosed which comprises contacting a combination of an epoxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a rhodium-containing catalyst composition effective to promote the hydroformylation of the epoxide at conditions effective to form at least one of a 1,3-diol and a 3-hydroxyaldehyde. The rhodium-containing catalyst composition comprises an anionic rhodium-containing complex. A promoter component is preferably provided to enhance at least one of the rate and selectivity of the epoxide hydroformylation reaction Rhodium-containing compositions and a processes for producing rhodium-containing compositions are also disclosed.
