Abstract
Abstract A process for the production of α,β-unsaturated ketones by reaction of an aldehyde with a ketone in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of zinc oxide in the liquid phase. The ketones obtained are suitable in some cases as solvents and in some cases as intermediates for the production of valuable odorants, dyes, plastics and especially natural substances.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A process for the production of at least α,β-unsaturated ketones of the formula (I): ##STR7##in which R 1 and R 2 are branched or linear, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic-aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals of one to 20 carbon atoms or saturated or unsaturated cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radicals of five to 20 carbon atoms which may also contain an alkyl group as a substituent and/or an endoalkylene group or an araliphatic hydrocarbon radical of seven to 15 carbon atoms or an aromatic hydrocarbon radical, R 3 is hydrogen or an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of one to 10 carbon atoms and moreover R 1 and R 3 together with the two adjacent carbon atoms may be common members of an alicyclic ring, by reaction of an aldehyde of the formula (II): ##STR8## in which R 2 has the meanings given above with a ketone of the formula (III): ##STR9## in which R 1 and R 3 have the meanings given above, in liquid phase wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst which consists essentially of zinc oxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
179 words
A process for the production of at least α,β-unsaturated ketones of the formula (I): ##STR7##in which R 1 and R 2 are branched or linear, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic-aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals of one to 20 carbon atoms or saturated or unsaturated cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radicals of five to 20 carbon atoms which may also contain an alkyl group as a substituent and/or an endoalkylene group or an araliphatic hydrocarbon radical of seven to 15 carbon atoms or an aromatic hydrocarbon radical, R 3 is hydrogen or an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of one to 10 carbon atoms and moreover R 1 and R 3 together with the two adjacent carbon atoms may be common members of an alicyclic ring, by reaction of an aldehyde of the formula (II): ##STR8## in which R 2 has the meanings given above with a ketone of the formula (III): ##STR9## in which R 1 and R 3 have the meanings given above, in liquid phase wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst which consists essentially of zinc oxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
