Abstract
A process for the oxidation of a diethylbenzene feed which comprises passing a molecular oxygen containing gas into contact with said feed at a temperature between 100.degree. and 180.degree.C in the presence of a superbasic sulfonate of an alkaline-earth metal in an amount within the range of 0.01 to 5% by weight of the diethylbenzene feed.
Claims11
A process for the oxidation of a diethylbenzene feed to form diethylbenzene hydroperoxide which comprises passing a molecular oxygen containing gas into contact with said feed at a temperature between 100.degree. and 180.degree.C. in the presence of 0.01 to 5.0%, by weight, of said diethylbenzene feed, of a superbasic sulfonate of an alkaline earth metal of the formula:
- R -- Y -- M -- CO.sub.3 -- (M -- CO.sub.3).sub.x -- M -- SO.sub.3 R
- wherein R is a hydrocarbon radical having at least 18 carbon atoms, Y is selected from the group consisting of CO.sub.3 and SO.sub.3 radicals, M is selected from the group consisting of barium, calcium and magnesium, and X is an integer between 0 and 8.
A process for the production of ethyl phenol and acetaldehyde from a diethyl benzene feed which comprises passing a molecular oxygen containing gas into contact with said feed at a temperature between 100.degree. and 180.degree.C. in the presence of 0.01 to 5.0%, by weight, of said diethyl benzene feed, of a superbasic sulfonate of an alkaline earth metal of the formula:
- R -- Y -- M -- CO.sub.3 -- (M -- CO.sub.3).sub.x -- M -- SO.sub.3 R
- wherein R is a hydrocarbon radical having at least 18 carbon atoms, Y is selected from the group consisting of CO.sub.3 and SO.sub.3 radicals, M is selected from the group consisting of barium, calcium and magnesium, and X is an integer between 0 and 8.
