Derivatives of petroleum and natural gas which contain oxygen are obtained primarily by oxidation, hydration, hydrolysis, and esterification, and the general literature on these processes, as well as on the Oxo, Synol, and FischerTropsch processes, is presented. The literature concerning individual classes of oxygen-containing compounds and specific, important members of each class is next described. Catalytic operations are an inextricable part of many of the processes involved; attention is therefore directed to the literature on catalysis. Pertinent class numbers of the U. S. Patent Office are discussed. The literature presented is restricted to material published after 1936, although on occasion important earlier references are given.

Those derivatives of petroleum and natural gas which contain oxygen are obtained directly or indirectly from these basic hydrocarbons primarily b y oxidation, hydration, hydrolysis, esterification, alkylation, and b y hydrogénation of carbon monoxide. These processes either are generally applicable to the synthesis of many members of a specific class of oxygenated compounds, such as the synthesis of alcohols b y hydration of olefins, or more frequently, give a mixture of oxygenated compounds of more than one class, e.g., oxidation and carbon monoxide hydrogénation. I t is for this reason that the process literature is to be emphasized rather that the literature on individual compounds. A n attempt w i l l also be made to present selected literature on some individual compounds as well as on some groups of compounds. However, before considering the latter types of literature, attention must be directed to the general basic literature.

Basic Literature The comprehensive treatment given the subject compounds b y E l l i s (26) has re­ stricted the literature which is to be presented to material published after 1936, although on occasion important earlier references will be given. Emphasis has been placed on those publications which contain fairly extensive bibliographies, e.g., review articles and monographs. Perhaps the most satisfactory method of quickly obtaining information on, and litera­ ture references to the desired oxygenated compounds is to refer to K i r k and Othmer's "Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology" (58). Although not yet complete, most of the oxygenated compounds and the processes used i n their preparation are described i n the volumes published. The importance of this work cannot be overemphasized. B y con­ sulting Thorpe (113) one can supplement information obtained from K i r k and Othmer. A new edition of Houben-Weyl (49) is i n the process of publication and promises to be another important source of information. Individual works of importance are Brooks (11), which appears to be the most com370

plete single volume i n the field with respect to the oxygenated and other derivatives of aliphatic and naphthenic hydrocarbons; Goldstein (40); F a i t h , Keyes, and Clark (31), in which brief descriptions of commercial methods of preparation of many oxygenated compounds from hydrocarbons are given, although no literature references are cited; and finally Brooks and Dunston (12), which supplements information on old processes and deals also with subjects and processes which are new since 1937. Review publications give considerable attention to the desired products. Reports on the Progress of Applied Chemistry, is published annually b y the Society of Chemical I n ­ dustry, London (91). Two sections of Reviews of Petroleum Technology (95), are of special interest—the section on derived chemicals and the section on petroleum literature. The latter section is concerned primarily with the nonperiodical literature, such as books and pamphlets. This first volume of Progress in Organic Chemistry contains a section, "Chemicals from Petroleum," which emphasizes the oxygenated derivatives (89). A special guide to the publications known as P B , F I A T , and B I O S reports, many of which are included i n references to the literature, is provided i n the Bibliography of Technical Reports (115). Lederman and Green (64) give a more detailed explanation of such publications. M a n y other encyclopedias, books, and review publications could be mentioned, but the above-mentioned publications are deemed essential to the location ôf the desired litera­ ture on the oxygenated compounds.

Process Literature The process literature is presented i n some detail i n the work b y Shreve (105), and especially b y Groggins (42). Earlier work on oxidation processes is adequately dealt with i n the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Monograph b y M a r e k and H a h n (69). The September 1948 issue of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry contained the first U n i t Processes review. This first review embraced developments i n unit processes reported i n the literature since approximately the start of W o r l d W a r I I . Among the the pertinent processes covered by the first review were oxidation, hydration and hydroly­ sis, esterification, alkylation, halogenation, and sulfonation. Thereafter, these reviews appeared annually with the exception of the hydration and hydrolysis section which ap­ peared biennially. The section on hydrogénation and hydrogenolysis first included the hydrogénation of carbon monoxide i n 1951. The literature surveyed b y these process reviews is very extensive and considers not only the journal literature, but the patent and P B literature as well. These reviews, i n addition to providing the most expedient method for keeping abreast of the current literature for the processes involved, serve as a fairly comprehensive literature source for the time period covered b y a l l the reviews. M u c h of the literature through 1947 on the preparation of oxygenated compounds by the hydrolysis as well as b y the dehydrochlorination of organic chlorine compounds is contained i n a work b y Huntress (51). Variations i n the conditions employed i n the hydrogénation of carbon monoxide have led to a group of processes a l l of which yield important quantities of oxygenated materials, either as by-products or as the main product, the initial carbon monoxide and hydrogen mixture (synthesis gas) being derivable from paraffin gases, especially methane. T w o of these processes, although directed primarily to the manufacture of synthetic fuels, have always given considerable amounts of by-product oxygenated materials. These are the Fischer-Tropsch process and the American hydrocarbon process (Hydrocol process). Those processes concerned directly with the production of oxygenated compounds are the methanol and higher alcohol syntheses, the Synol process, and the recent Oxyl process. A recent' paper describes a British process i n which the amount of oxygenated compounds obtained is intermediate to that obtained i n the processes mentioned above. T h e Oxo process, that is, the catalytic addition of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to olefins to give aldehydes followed b y reduction of the latter to alcohols, is almost invariably associated with carbon monoxide hydrogénation in the literature and will be similarly treated here.

(128), and Komarewsky, Riesz, and Estes (60) include discussions of the majority of the above-mentioned processes except the Oxyl. Recent papers by E l i o t (25), Steitz and Barnes (109), Cain, Weitkamp, and Bowman (15), Weitkamp and F r y e (124), and M o r r e l l (78) are concerned with the distribution of oxygenated compounds i n the Hydrocol products; a paper by G a l l , Gibson, and H a l l (36) discusses the British counterpart. Considerable literature, especially patent literature, deals with processes for the iso­ lation of oxygenated products present i n the mixture of hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds obtained from synthetic fuel processes. A n excellent source for such litera­ ture, as well as for much carbon monoxide hydrogénation and Oxo process literature, is the U . S. Bureau of Mines, "Synthetic Liquid Fuel Abstracts," now discontinued (114)Although general and patent literature are included therein, probably the greatest i m ­ portance of this work lies i n the fact that abstracts are given for German work—that is, the P B reports, the T O M (Technical O i l Mission) reels, etc., whereas Chemical Abstracts has not abstracted such material, and the Bibliography of Technical Reports abstracts are often inadequate and poorly indexed by comparison. Special references on the methanol and higher alcohol syntheses are E l l i s (27), Hirst (45), Kastens (54), and Giesen and Hanisch (38). The O x y l process is described by Roelen and Beery (96). The Synol process literature is covered i n references (4, 38, 110,118). Oxo synthesis literature is reported on i n some detail by H o l m (46), Schuster (100), and Orchin and Schroeder (83). Recent research on acetylene as the basic hydrocarbon i n the synthesis of a number of important oxygen-containing compounds has centered on the work of Walter Reppe and his associates of Germany. Prior to Reppe's work, the most important oxygen-con­ taining derivatives of acetylene were acetaldehyde and acetone. Three important processes have evolved from Reppe's work. Vinylation, the for­ mation of v i n y l derivatives by reaction of such compounds as acids, glycols, and alco­ hols with acetylene, produces the important v i n y l esters and v i n y l ethers. Ethinylation is defined as the reaction of acetylene with the carbon atom of a reactant without loss of the triple bond. A major application of the ethinylation reaction is to aldehydes and ketones to give alkynols and alkyndiols—e.g., the reaction of acetylene with for­ maldehyde to give propargyl alcohol and butyn-2-diol-l,4. Carboxylation (also referred to as carbonylation), the reaction of acetylene with carbon monoxide i n the presence of metal carbonyls, has been applied to the production of acrylic acid, acrylates, and hydroquinone. The polymerization of acetylene to cyclooctatraene and oxygenated derivatives ob­ tainable from the latter is also described (17, 44, 84, 92, 93, 94). The general acetylene literature up to 1938 is reported on by Nieuwland and Vogt (81). I n addition to a translation of Reppe's own work (92), two excellent reviews i n the English language of Reppe chemistry are Owens and Johnson (84) and Copenhaver and Bigelow (17). Several other important works on Reppe chemistry are Reppe (93, 94), Hecht and Krôper (44), and Piganiol (86). The Diels-Alder reaction (diene synthesis) is the addition of compounds containing double or triple bonds (dienophiles) to the 1,4 positions of conjugated dienes with the formation of six-membered hydroaromatic rings. Hydrocarbons most often used i n the reaction are 1,3-butadiene, cyclopentadiene, and isoprene, and dienophiles used include maleic anhydride, acrolein, and acrylic acid. The literature on this process is thoroughly reviewed by Alder (1), Kloetzel (59), Holmes (48), and N o r t o n (82). The reaction of olefins with aldehydes to form 1,3-glycols has recently been reviewed by Arundale and Mikeska (5). Considerable literature exists on the mechanism of hydrocarbon oxidation and autoxidation. Thé more important of these works are by Waters (122), the Faraday Society (23,32), and Frank (33). Organic peroxide formation by the oxidation of hydrocarbons and the reaction of these compounds is especially emphasized by Frank (33), Criegee (18), Hawkins (43), and Kharasch (57).

The literature on the use of organic per acids for the oxidation of olefins, especially higher olefins, to epoxides and glycols has been surveyed b y Swern (112). Oxidation of hydrocarbons with selenium dioxide can result i n the formation of dialdehydes, ketones and diketones, and unsaturated alcohols, depending upon the hydro­ carbon used. Such oxidations have been summed up b y Rabjohn (90). Since so many of the processes involved are catalytic i n nature, a few of the more important publications i n the field of catalysis should be mentioned. These are Berkman, M o r r e l l , and Egloff (6), B u r k (If), Griffith (41), Schwab (101), the Faraday Society (22), and Frankenburg (84). A guide to the analysis, as well as to the ordinary physical properties of pure oxygen­ ated compounds is provided for i n a work b y Huntress and M u l l i k e n (52). The physical constants (ni?, b.p., and m.p.) with references to the original literature for a selected number of organic peroxides are given b y Mesrobian (71).

Literature on Individual Compounds or Groups of Compounds The following literature has been selected as a guide to information on a few individual members and groups of oxygenated compounds. These compounds have been chosen either because special literature is available or because of their importance. The German reports included have been chosen since they give detailed information not generally obtainable. F o r many of the individual members and groups of compounds, the existing literature is almost exclusively patent literature. T h e pertinent classes of the U . S. patent system will be described later. Formaldehyde. Oxidation with air or oxygen of natural gas or propane a n d butane yields not only formaldehyde b u t also acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, propanol, b u t y l alcohols, and formic, acetic, and propionic acids. Such literature is covered b y Walker (120, 121). Two reports'on German processes for oxidation of methane to formaldehyde are given b y Sherwood (104), and b y H o l m and Reichl (47). One of these processes indicates the almost exclusive formation of formaldehyde; i t is also indicated that the process was applied to ethane and propane with similar results. Acetaldehyde. T h e manufacture of acetaldehyde i n G e r m a n y b y h y d r a t i o n of acetylene is described b y Alexander (2) and b y Brundrit, Taylor, and E l l i s (18). Acetaldehyde preparation b y hydrolysis of lower v i n y l ethers is briefly indicated i n the latter reference as well as b y Leaper and Direnga (68). F o r complete coverage of the literature on these methods, see references (17,44,81,84, 86,92,98,94). Ethyl Alcohol and Higher Alcohols. T w o general processes exist for h y d r a t i n g olefins to alcohols. T h e first is b y absorption of olefins i n inorganic acids, p r i m a r i l y sulfuric acid, followed b y hydrolysis of the intermediate ester. The second process is the direct catalytic hydration of the olefin. The literature on these processes, especially as applied to ethanol and 2-propanol manufacture, is well covered i n the general works listed above, and especially b y Brooks (11). German work on the catalytic hydration of ole­ fins is described by Kammermeyer and Carpenter (53). The preparation of amyl alcohols via chlorination of pentanes and hydrolysis of the halides is described b y K e n y o n (56). Epoxides and Glycols. T h e literature on the important aliphatic epoxides a n d glycols, especially ethylene and propylene oxides and ethylene and propylene glycols, is given b y Curme and Johnston (20). Detailed descriptions of German processes for the manufacture of ethylene oxide b y direct oxidation of ethylene and v i a chlorohydrination of ethylene are given b y Goepp (39) and b y Vaughan and Goepp (119). Brief descrip­ tions of the direct and chlorohydrination processes as well as of the manufacture of ethyl­ ene glycol from ethylene oxide b y hydration and from ethylene dichloride b y hydrolysis are given b y M o r l e y (77). The hydration of ethylene oxide to ethylene glycol and higher glycols is also described b y Brandner and Goepp (9). Allyl Alcohol and Glycerol. These two products are treated together since both involve the chlorination of propylene to a l l y l chloride. T h e Shell a l l y l alcohol process is described b y Fairbairn, Cheney, and Cherniavsky (80). This same process and the glycerol process are described b y Williams (125).

The Shell Chemical C o . has published a booklet (103), which describes the properties and reactions of this alcohol. Further literature on synthetic glycerol is to be found i n the new AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Monograph by M i n e r and Dalton (73). Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Acetic Acid, and Propionic Acid. Oxidation of the lower hydrocarbons i n the gas phase catalyzed b y hydrogen bromide gives carboxylic acids, ketones, and hydroperoxides, depending on the hydrocarbon used. Ethane gives acetic acid; propane gives acetone plus a significant amount of acetic and propionic acids; η-butane yields methyl ethyl ketone and acetic acid. Oxidation of branched-chain hydrocarbons such as isobutane and isopentane gives peroxides and hydro­ peroxides as major products and alcohols as coproducts. This literature is reviewed by Rust and Vaughan (97). F o r information on acetone from 2-propanol, see the general introductory literature.

T h e literature on G e r m a n methods for the preparation of unsaturated acids a n d their esters v i a acetylene, carbon monoxide, and water or alcohol, as well as the application of this reaction to olefins, carbon monoxide, and water or alcohol to give saturated acids and esters, is to be found i n references (17, 44, 84, 92, 93, 94). Other references on these methods are Blair-McGuffie (7) and N a t t a (80). The preparation, properties, and reactions, especially polymerization, of products from the acetylene-carbon monoxide reaction, such as acrylic acid and its esters, are given by Blout and M a r k (8) and by Schildknecht (98). Similarly treated therein are the v i n y l esters from acetylene and carboxylic acids, and other vinylation products such as v i n y l ethers. The esterification of organic acids with olefins is reviewed b y M o r i n and Bearse(7£). Higher Fatty Acids. Oxidation of higher paraffins can give mixtures of acids, alcohols, and carbonyl compounds, although fatty acids may be obtained as the principal product. Publications b y W i t t k a (126), Stossel (111), Allen (3), Lanning (62), Zabel (128), and G a l l (35) are of importance i n this field.

U. S. Patent Literature The U . S. Patent Office provides several guides for obtaining those patents of interest. These are the " M a n u a l of Classification of Patents" (117), the index to said manual, plus a series of classification bulletins which define the classes and subclasses listed i n the manual. Once having determined the subclasses of interest, one m a y obtain from the Patent Office, at a charge of about 20 cents a page, separate numerical lists of both the original references and cross references i n each subclass. Furthermore, the Patent Office will supply these lists of subclasses and cross-reference lists upon receiving a request which fully describes the subject matter of interest. The subclasses of Class 260, " T h e C h e m ­ istry of Carbon Compounds," are the subclasses of main interest, and these have been recently revised. The definitions for Class 260 are i n Classification Bulletin N o . 200 (116). It may be noted at this time that a revised copy of this bulletin, as well as a new index to the "Classification M a n u a l , " is scheduled for publication i n the near future. Specific important subclasses of Class 260 are listed.

Close examination of the above list will reveal that both the original subclass and the cross references in each of several subclasses must be consulted i n order to find a l l the art on a given subject. I t should also be noted that frequent changes i n the classification scheme are made.

General Sources T o obtain references to the foreign patent literature one must search through either Chemical Abstracts, CMmisches Zentralblatt, or British Abstracts. T o obtain literature on other pertinent German processes, the Bibliography of Technical Reports must be searched. It is hoped that the literature which has been presented w i l l provide a background for such searches and also indicate some of the more numerous headings which w i l l have to be used to obtain a more complete picture of the literature of the oxygen-containing hydrocarbon derivatives obtainable from petroleum and natural gas.
