A Study of the Separation of 1-Dodecene and 1-Tetradecene Hydroformylation Products in Aqueous Medium
2009
Abstract Experimental results of the solubilization of olefins in hydroformylation model systems, comprising 1-dodecene and 1-tridecanal or 1-tetradecene and 1-pentadecanal, water, butanol, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), and/or tri(m-sulfofenyl)phosphine trisodium salt (TPPTS-Na) are presented. The selected systems were used for the hydroformylation of 1-dodecene and 1-tetradecene whereby high yields of aldehydes were obtained. After the reaction, the mixture spontaneously separated into an organic phase with the reaction products and an aqueous phase comprising the catalyst and excess phosphine ligand.
Sulfonation of Triphenylphosphines and Separation of Sulfonated Triphenylphosphines by Crystallization and Solvent Extraction
2007
Abstract The effect of sulfonation conditions on the formation of sulfonated triphenylphosphines and their separation from the post‐reaction mixture, containing concentrated sulphuric acid, was studied. The solvent extraction was found to be a suitable technique to separate sulfonated triphenylphosphines from concentrated sulphuric acid, and the purity and yield was higher than obtained by crystallization from various solvents. Tributyl phosphate was a suitable extractant. Sodium salts of sulfonated triphenylphosphines could then be recovered as precipitates by treating the organic phase with the sodium hydroxide solution and separation by crystallization. The solvent extraction simplified …
