Procedure

Examples of reactions which can be carried out particularly expediently in the reactors according to the invention are, without this listing being exhaustive: dehydrogenations, for example, of cyclohexylidene-aniline to give diphenylamine and of cyclohexenyl-cyclohexanone to give o-phenylphenol; hydrogenations, for example, of nitrobenzene to give aniline and of phenol to give cyclohexanone; oxidative alcohol dehydrogenations, for example, of 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol to give 3-methyl-2-buten-1-al; selective oxidations of hydrocarbons, for example, of n-butane to give maleic anhydride, of oxylene to give phthalic anhydride and of propene to give acrolein or acrylic acid and alkylations and halogenations.
