Abstract
In a process for reacting an organic compound with a hydroperoxide using at least one heterogeneous catalyst, both the pH and the temperate of the reaction medium are changed during the reaction
Claims20
A process for reacting an organic compound with a hydroperoxide, said process comprising
- reacting said organic compound and said hydroperoxide in the presence of at least one heterogeneous catalyst, wherein both the pH and the temperature of a reaction medium are changed during the reaction.
The process as claimed in 1, further comprising at least the steps (i) to (iii):
- (i) reacting the hydroperoxide with the organic compound to give a mixture comprising a reacted organic compound and an unreacted hydroperoxide,
- (ii) separating said unreacted hydroperoxide from said mixture resulting from step (i),
- (iii) reacting said unreacted hydroperoxide which has been separated off in step (ii) with the organic compound,
- wherein steps (i) and (iii) are carried out in at least two separate reactors and both the pH and the temperature of the reaction medium are changed in at least one of the reactors used in steps (i) and (iii).
