CONTINUOUS DEHYDROGENATION OF 1,4-CARBOXYLATE SUBSTITUTED CYCLOHEXENES

A method which comprises contacting the cyclohexene ring containing compounds having carboxylate derivatives at the 1 and 4, and optionally the 2, positions with one or more dehydrogeoation catalysts, optionally in the presence of one or more oxidants, in a continuous flow mode under conditions such that compounds containing an aromatic ring with carboxylate derivatives at the 1. and 4 positions, and optionally the 2 position, are prepared. The invention also relates to such compounds derived from starting materials derived from renewable resources.

PREPARATION OF TRANS,TRANS MUCONIC ACID AND TRANS,TRANS MUCONATES

The present invention relates to the isomerization of cis,cis and/or cis,trans muconic acid or esters thereof to trans,trans muconic acid or esters thereof and to the esterification of such muconic acids.
