Utility
Integrated Process for Making Alpha, Beta-unsaturated Functional Compound
12 Aug 20
Provided are processes for preparing alpha, beta-unsaturated functional compounds using four major reaction steps: 1) air oxidation of an iso-paraffin to a mixture of alkyl hydroperoxide and alcohol; 2) converting the alkyl hydroperoxide and alcohol to dialkyl peroxide; 3) oxidative cross-coupling between a primary or secondary alcohol and a compound comprising at least one R3CH2- (R3=hydrogen or an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl) moiety to afford a coupled product using the dialkyl peroxide as a radical initiator, while the dialkyl peroxide is converted to a tertiary alcohol; 4) dehydration of the coupled product to yield an alpha, beta-unsaturated functional compound.
