Process for the preparation of alkynediols

The present invention relates to a novel process for the manufacture of alkinediols of the formula I wherein ketones of the formula II are reacted with alkinols of the formula III in liquid ammonia in the presence of potassium hydroxide, wherein R1 and R3 are independently from each other a linear, branched or cyclic C2-25-carbon-hydrogen moiety, optionally containing 1 to 10 non-conjugated double-bond(s), and R2 and R4 are independently from each other linear C1-4-alkyl. The present invention also refers to the novel use of the alkindiols as emulgator, surfactant, dispersant, anti-foaming non-ionic agent, viscosity stabilizer, antistatic lubricant in the spinning of fibres, solvent, flavour, fragrance, wetting agent, sealing material or intermediate thereof and to the following novel alkindiols: 4,7-dihydroxy-2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decine, 10, 13-dihydroxy-2,6,10,13,17,21-hexamethyl-11-docosine and 14, 17-dihydroxy-2,6,10,14,17,21,25,29-octamethyl-15-triacontine.

ETHYNYLATION PROCESS

A process for the manufacture of an acetylenically unsaturated alcohol comprising reacting formaldehyde, an aldehyde or a ketone (a carbonyl compound) with acetylene in the presence of ammonia and an alkali metal hydroxide, the molar ratio of the alkali metal hydroxide to the carbonyl compound being less than 1 : 200. The reaction products, which depending on the starting carbonyl compound are propargyl alcohol or 1-monosubstituted or 1,1-disubstituted derivatives thereof, are of use as intermediates in the synthesis of many useful end products, inter alia in the field of vitamins and carotenoids.
