540,133. Catalytic dehydrogenation. DU PONT DE NEMOURS CO., E. I. April 4, 1940, No. 6087. Convention date, April 4, 1939. [Class 1 (i)] [Also in Group IV] Oxy-aldehydes are produced by passing over a de-hydrogenating catalyst the vapour of a glycol ether or ester of the formula CH 2 OXCH,OH where X is an alkyl, alkoxy-alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, phenoxy-alkyl or acyl group. The re-action temperature may be 200-375C. and the pressure may be atmospheric or above, such as 5-1000 atmospheres. Preferably a diluent is used, such as steam, nitrogen or carbon dioxide. Suitable catalysts may be made by fusing copper oxide alone or with another oxide such as magnesium or nickel oxide and reducing the mass; or copper-nickel copper-silicon, copper-zinc chromate and copper-zinc oxide catalysts may be made by precipitation and reduction. Nickel with or without cerium may be used under mild conditions. In examples 1-3 methoxy-acetaldehyde is produced from glycol monomethyl ether by means of the following catalysts:- (a) a reduced mixture of copper oxide, silica and chromium oxide (Cr O 3 ) in the molar ratio 100:10:5; (b) a similar mixture in the ratio 100:50:10; and (c) reduced copper oxide and silica in the ratio 9:1. In example 4 methoxy-methoxy-acetaldehyde is produced from methoxy-methoxy-ethanol, using the catalyst of example 1; and in example 5 acetoxy-acetaldehyde is produced from glycolmonoaceate by the same catalyst.
