Provided are compositions, processes for making, and processes for using neoalkyl polyol esters and triglycerides as plasticizers. In one form, a neoalkylester triglyceride plasticizers can be produced by (i) drying a polyol feedstream; (ii) contacting in a reactor the dried polyol feedstream with a neoacid feedstream under effective temperature, pressure and time to form a neoalkylester plasticizer effluent stream, and (iii) purifying the neoalkylester plasticizer effluent stream to remove unreacted polyol and unreacted neoacid to form a neoalkylester plasticizer. Such plasticizers can be phthalate-free and provide outstanding properties including a suitable melting or pour point, glass transition temperature, low volatility, increased compatibility, increased hydrolytic stability, and excellent low temperature properties in a range of polymeric resins.

A process for making non-phthalate, 1,2-phenylene oxo-diester plasticizers for polymer compositions, by selectively hydrogenating naphthalene to form a partially hydrogenated naphthalene, oxygenating said partially hydrogenated naphthalene to form phenylene diacids, and esterifying said phenylene diacids with oxo-alcohols to form 1,2-phenylene oxo-diesters. Also a process for making phenylene oxo-diester plasticizers by selectively brominating xylenes to form bisbromomethylbenzene, catalytic carboalkoxylation of the bromo-compound to form phenylene diacetate, followed by transesterification to form the phenylene oxo-diester.

In a process for oxidizing a hydrocarbon to the corresponding hydroperoxide, alcohol, ketone, carboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acid, a reaction medium comprising a hydrocarbon is contacted with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst comprising a cyclic imide of the general formula (I):wherein each of Rand Ris independently selected from hydrocarbyl and substituted hydrocarbyl radicals having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or from the groups SOH, NH, OH and NO, or from the atoms H, F, Cl, Br and I provided that Rand Rcan be linked to one another via a covalent bond; each of Qand Qis independently selected from C, CH, N, and CR; each of X and Z is independently selected from C, S, CH, N, P and an element of Group 4 of the Periodic Table; Y is O or OH; k is 0, 1, or 2; l is 0, 1, or 2; m is 1 to 3; and Rcan be any of the entities listed for R. The contacting is conducted under conditions such as to maintain the concentration of both water and organic acids in the reaction medium below 50 ppm.

A process for producing phenol and methyl ethyl ketone comprises contacting benzene and a Calkylating agent under alkylation conditions and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst comprising at least one molecular sieve of the MCM-22 family to produce an alkylation effluent comprising secbutylbenzene; wherein the contacting is conducted in a plurality of reaction zones and the C4 alkylating agent secbutylbenzene fraction is recovered from the alkylation effluent and comprises at least 95 wt % sec-butylbenzene, less than 100 wt ppm of C+ olefins, and less than 0. 5 wt % of isobutylbenzene and tert-butylbenzene. The sec-butylbenzene fraction is then oxidized to produce sec-butylbenzene hydroperoxide and the hydroperoxide is cleaved to produce phenol and methyl ethyl ketene.

A process for producing phenol and methyl ethyl ketone comprises contacting benzene and a Colefin under alkylation conditions and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst to produce an alkylation effluent comprising sec-butylbenzene and C+ olefins. The alkylation effluent is then treated to reduce the amount of said C+ olefins and produce a treated effluent, whereafter the sec-butylbenzene in the treated effluent is oxidized to produce a hydroperoxide and the hydroperoxide is cleaved to produce phenol and methyl ethyl ketone.
