Preparation method of cyclododecanone oxime

The invention discloses a preparation method of cyclododecanone oxime. The method comprises the steps of mixing cyclododecanone, a small-molecular oxime, an organic silicone ether, a pH buffer agent and a solvent, adjusting the pH of the system to 1-3 by using an acidic catalyst and performing an oxime exchange reaction. According to the method provided by the invention, the reaction is a homogeneous system, the mass transfer requirements are low, and reaction products have no ammonium sulfate by-products; after the reaction is completed, a reaction liquid is subjected to rectification to separate small-molecular ketones, so that the problem of difficult oil-water separation of hydroxylamine oximation can be solved; and the method has a high raw material conversion rate and high product selectivity.

A 13C NMR Study of Formaldehyde Association in an Ethylene Glycol Solution

The qualitative and quantitative composition of solutions of formaldehyde in ethylene glycol is studied by the 13C NMR method at 90 deg C in the range of formaldehyde concentrations from 0 to 20 mol/l.Equilibrium constants of polycondensation are determined for hemiformals H(OCH2)nOCH2CH2OH and H(OCH2)mOCH2CH2O(CH2O)kH (n, m, k = 1, 2, >/= 3).
