Abstract:
An inorganic filler material which has improved compatibility characteristics with certain polymeric substrates is disclosed. This filler material is one which is treated with an effective amount, for such improved compatibility of a saturated hydrocarbyl acid phosphate and/or a saturated hydrocarbyl acid pyrophosphate or an alkali metal or alkaline earth salt thereof. Polymeric compositions containing a polymer substrate and such filler are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for preparing alkyldiarylphosphines and related compounds. In such process a compound having the structural formula: wherein :
Z is an atom from group VA of the periodic table; Y is any radical that is essentially incapable of reacting with an alkali metal; X is any radical that is essentially incapable of reacting with an alkali metal; W is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl, alkyl, arylalkyl, or alkylaryl radical or hydrogen; and is prepared by reacting a first halide with a molten alkali metal or amalgam thereof in the presence of an inert solvent to form a first reacted mixture which is reacted with a second halide wherein an amount of the alkali metal or amalgam thereof is used in an excess of less than 100% and the yield of the product is greater than 70%. Typically, diphenylphosphinous chloride is reacted in solution with an excess of an alkali metal; and the reaction product reacted with chorohex- ane thereby forming hexyldiphenylphosphine. The improved process produces greater yields, by use of critical amounts of alkali metal; use of a single reactor rather than two reactors; preinitiation of the first stage reaction reduction of temperatures to increase reaction rate under certain conditions; and preferred reactants and physical form thereof. Novel products include behenyldiphenylphosphine.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a process for the production of arylsulfonyl halides, e.g., benzenesulfonyl chloride. The disclosed process adds a phosphorus-containing additive, e.g., phosphorous acid, before the reaction of an arylsulfonic acid with a sulfur halide and a halogen. The phosphorus-containing additive reduces the thermal instability of the residue remaining after distillation of the arylsulfonyl halide.
Abstract:
Alkyl vanadates are formed by the reaction of vanadium pentoxide and an alkyl alcohol in the presence of an azeotroping solvent to assist in the removal of byproduct water, using an effective amount of a basic nitrogenous compound as a catalyst.
