Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the preparation of 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylate esters by a 4-step process starting with an alkyl p-formylbenzoate and utilizing intermediate phosphite and phosphonate compounds. The steps comprise: (1) preparing an alkyl p-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate by hydrogenating an alkyl p-formylbenzoate; (2) contacting the alkyl p-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate of step (1) with a trialkyl phosphite to obtain a phosphite ester compound having formula (IV); (3) contacting the phosphite ester of step (2) with a catalytic amount of iodine to rearrange the phosphite ester to the corresponding phosphonate ester; and (4) contacting the phosphonate ester compound of step (3) with an alkyl p-formylbenzoate in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide and an inert solvent to obtain the dialkyl 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylate.

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylate esters by a 3-step process utilizing p-toluic acid, an alkyl p-formylbenzoate and a trialkyl phosphite. The steps comprise: (1) preparing p-(chloromethyl)benzoic acid by chlorinating p-toluic acid with sulfuryl chloride in the presence of a free radical initiator and chlorobenzene or dichlorobenzene; (2) contacting the p-(chloromethyl)benzoic acid of step (1) with a trialkyl phosphite to obtain a phosphonate compound; and (3) contacting the phosphonate ester compound of step (2) with an alkyl p-formylbenzoate in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide and an inert solvent to obtain the dialkyl 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylate.

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde by the thermal isomerization of 2,3-dihydrofuran under superatmospheric pressure, e.g., at a temperature of 300 to 600 DEG C and a pressure of 3 to 345 bars absolute.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a panel of material comprising a film comprising a layer of a solid polyolefin and a layer of copolyester wherein said copolyester comprises: (1) a dicarboxylic acid component comprising repeat units from at least 90 mole percent terephthalic acid; and (2) a diol component comprising repeat units from 20 to 40 mole percent diethylene glycol and 80 to 60 mole percent ethylene glycol, based on 100 mole percent dicarboxylic acid and 100 mole percent diol, said layer of a copolyester being intimately bonded to a wooden substrate and said polyolefin layer being exposed on the outer surface of said film.
Abstract:
A novel technique to treat post-consumer polyester for reuse in food-contact applications is described. The process comprises contacting contaminated post-consumer polyester flake with at least one extraction solvent which is soluble in said contaminated flake at a temperature sufficient to allow rapid diffusion of contaminants from said polyester flake; and removing said extraction solvent containing said contaminants from said polyester flake.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the preparation of aliphatic carbonyl compounds selected from aliphatic carboxylic acids, alkyl esters of aliphatic carboxylic acids and anhydrides of aliphatic carboxylic acids by the carbonylation of olefins in the presence of a catalyst system comprising (1) a primary component selected from at least one Group 6 metal, i.e., chromium, molybdenum, and/or tungsten and (2) a secondary component selected from at least one of certain halides and tertiary and quaternary compounds of a Group 15 element, i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus and/or arsenic. The process is carried out in the absence of metals of groups 8, 9, and 10 (Fe, Rn, Os, Co, Rh, In, Ni, Pd, and Pt) and of formic acids and format esters. The process constitutes an improvement over known processes since it can be carried out at moderate carbonylation conditions without the necessity of using an expensive noble metal catalyst, volatile, toxic materials such as nickel tetracarbonyl, formic acid or a formate ester.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a translucent natural antioxidant solution which is used to prolong the shelf life of animal fats and vegetable oils. More specifically, the natural antioxidant solution contains 3 to 20 weight percent of carnosic acid, 20 to 70 weight percent of distilled monoglyceride, and 30 to 70 weight percent of propylene glycol. The antioxidant solution is miscible with fats and oils up to a concentration of 500 ppm of carnosic acid.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for recycling waste material selected from amino-carboxylic acid oligomers or polymers and amido-carboxylic acid oligomers or polymers into amido-carboxylic acids. A mixture containing water, an oligomeric or polymeric waste material, and a carboxylic acid is heated. The mixture is cooled to obtain a two phase system containing an aqueous phase and an organic phase which are separated. Carboxylic acids, unreacted starting materials, and the monomeric amido-carboxylic acid product are distilled from the organic phase. The remaining solid residue composed of high boiling oligomeric amino-carboxylic acids is recycled into Step (A).
Abstract:
Disclosed are fibrous structures comprised of shaped fibers wherein the thickness of the compressed fibrous structure at 1.00 psi (70.3 g/cm ) is >/=1.4 times that of a similar compressed structure having the same area density and made from round cross section fibers of the same dpf as the shaped fibers. The invention is useful in articles such as coats, gloves, boats, shoes, etc. made using the structures disclosed herein. The surprising feature of structures according to the present invention is the thickness retention at high pressures. This retained thickness under pressure translates directly into decreased heat transfer or improved insulation.
