Linear aldehydes having 7-21 carbon atoms are separated from mixtures (which may contain alcohols and/or branched aldehydes) by converting them into solid adducts with C.sub.2 to C.sub.12 linear alkane diols. The adducts are then separated and decomposed. The adducts are themselves novel compounds.
Production of essentially pure Z-11-hexadecenal by azeotropic distillation is described. Contacting a mixture of Z-11-hexadecenal, hexadecene and hexadecadiene with dimethylsulfoxide and subjecting the blend to azeotropic distillation allows for the removal of hydrocarbon impurities from the aldehyde. Contacting a mixture of Z-11-hexadecenal and hexadecenol with a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 glycol and subjecting the blend to azeotropic distillation conditions allows for the recovery of a glycol-aldehyde azeotrope from which essentially pure aldehyde is readily recovered. A mixture comprising Z-11-hexadecenal, hexadecene, hexadecadiene and hexadecenol can be sequentially treated according to the above-described azeotropic distillation steps in order to provide essentially pure Z-11-hexadecenal.
This invention relates to a process for separating an aldehyde that contains at least seven carbon atoms and that is free of alpha substituents from a solution containing the aldehyde and a non-polar organic liquid which process comprises contacting the solution with water under conditions such that a solid hydrate of the aldehyde forms and separating the solid hydrate from the solution. This invention also relates to novel hydrates so produced.
Volatile organic compounds containing carbonyl groups can be released by lithographic printing materials including inks, fountain solutions and printed materials. Volatile organic compounds containing carbonyl groups can also have a serious negative impact on the taste or odor of staple materials such as foodstuffs. The volatile materials can be retained in the lithographic compositions and printed materials can be trapped in the printed materials using an improved reactive technology involving a chemically reactive trap for such volatile carbonyl containing compounds.
