Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a process comprising: reacting isobutyraldehyde with an aqueous solution of urea in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst to form isobutylidene diurea. Preferably, the phase transfer catalyst is a quaternary ammonium salt, more preferably benzyltriethylammonium chloride. Even more preferably, the process is performed in one pot.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for forming isobutylidene diurea, comprising: reacting isobutyraldehyde with an aqueous solution of urea in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst to form isobutylidene diurea, wherein the phase transfer catalyst is a quaternary ammonium salt. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the reacting of the isobutyraldehyde with the aqueous solution of urea in the presence of the phase transfer catalyst is performed in one pot. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the phase transfer catalyst is benzyltriethylammonium chloride. 4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of phase transfer catalyst is 0.5 to 5 mol % of the isobutyraldehyde. 5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of phase transfer catalyst is 1 to 5 mol % of the isobutyraldehyde. 6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of phase transfer catalyst is 2 to 4 mol % of the isobutyraldehyde. 7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the aqueous solution of the urea contains the urea in an amount of 50 to 85 wt %. 8. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising isolating the isobutyilidene diurea to obtain isolated isobutylidene diurea. 9. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising mixing the formed isobutylidene diurea or the isolated isobutylidene diurea with another fertilizer and/or with a secondary nutrient and/or with a trace element and/or with a plant protection agent and/or with a filler and/or with other fertilizer ingredients to form a mixed fertilizer.
