Abstract

A polymer or copolymer of butadiene, is epoxidised by introducing said compound and peracetic acid continuously into an elongated reaction zone, the length of which equals 100 to 10,000 4K/p where K is the area of the smallest perpendicular cross-section of said zone, and wherein the expression 4K/p is in the range of from 0,63 to 13,0 cm. under pressure sufficient to maintain a liquid phase reaction mixture; and for a residence time at least sufficient to epoxidise at least one carbon to carbon ethylenic bond of the ethylenically unsaturated compound, said residence time not exceeding 45 minutes. A plurality of elongated reaction zones may be used in series or parallel. Temperatures of 0-150 DEG C., preferably 20-130 DEG C. are specified, with pressures up to 100 atmospheres. The peracetic acid is preferably introduced in an inert organic solvent, specifically containing 5-50 weight per cent of peracetic acid. Generally the molar ratio of peracetic acid to ethylenic double bond should be 0,05 to 5,0, preferably 0,2 to 2,0 Specification 784,620 is referred to.ALSO:An ethylenically unsaturated compound containing at least 3 carbon atoms, the atoms directly joined to the ethylenic carbon atoms being hydrogen or carbon, is epoxidised by introducing said compound and peracetic acid continuously into an elongated reaction zone, the length of which equals 100 to 10,000 <FORM:0858793/IV(b)/1> where K is the area of the smallest perpendicular cross section of said zone, and wherein the expression <FORM:0858793/IV(b)/2> is in the range of from 0,63 to 13,0 cm. under pressure sufficient to maintain a liquid phase reaction mixture ; and for a residence time at least sufficient to epoxidise at least one carbon to carbon ethylenic bond of the ethylenically unsaturated compound, said residence time not exceeding 45 minutes. A plurality of elongated reaction zones may be used in series or parallel. Temperatures of 0-150 DEG C., preferably 20-130 DEG C. are specified, with pressures up to 100 atmospheres. The peracetic acid is preferably introduced in an inert organic solvent, specifically containing 5-50 weight per cent. of peracetic acid. Generally the molar ratio of peracetic acid to ethylenic double bond should be 0,05 to 5,0, preferably 0,2 to 2,0. A polymerisation inhibitor may be present. Specified ethylenic compounds include hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, ethers, amides, imides, nitriles, ketones, carboxylic acids and esters, acetals, halocarbons and esters of phosphorus acids. Compounds prepared in Examples from the corresponding ethylenic compounds are (1) and (2) propylene oxide ; (3) isobutylene oxide ; (4) butadiene monoxide ; (5) butadiene dioxide (from the monoxide) ; (6) divinylbenzene dioxide ; (7) ethyl 2, 3-epoxybutyrate ; (8) 6-methyl-3, 4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl 6-methyl-3,4-epoxy-cyclohexanecarboxylate ; (9) epoxystearic acid (from oleic acid) ; (10) 3, 4-epoxycyclohexane-carbonitrile ; and (11) bis (2, 3-epoxycyclopentyl) ether. Specification 784,620 is referred to.
