ABSTRACT:
Cyclopropyl alkyl ketones are separated from 3-acyltetrahydrofuran-2-ones by adding an alcohol, water or a water/alcohol mixture to a reaction product containing C.sub.1-4 -alkyl cyclopropyl ketone and 4,5-dihydro-2-alkylfuran by-product and an acid catalyst and reacting the by-product with the added alcohol, water of water/alcohol mixture before, during or after distilling said reaction product; and effectively separating C.sub.1 -.sub.4 -alkyl cyclopropyl ketone from reaction by-products.
In the preparation of cyclopropyl alkyl ketones from 3-acyltetrahydrofuran-2-ones very reactive 4,5-dihydro-2-alkylfurans are also produced. By reacting such compounds with nucleophilic compounds, such as alcohols or water, before, during or after distillation of the reaction products, it is possible reliably to separate off the 4,5-dihydro-2-alkylfurans as high-boiling addition compounds. The offgas which is produced in the production process for cyclopropyl alkyl ketones can be simply and reliably purified by reactive washing. The byproducts, which are difficult to handle for a production process, can thus be reliably eliminated.
