Abstract:
Novel unsaturated peroxide compositions of Structure A, are disclosed where the R-Q- grouping contains a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bound, i.e. R is, inter alia, alkyl of 1 to 18 carbons; Q is, inter alia, where -(X-Ri) shows the point of attachment of the X-R 1 group and (R)- shows the point of attachment of the R group to the Q diradical and R 2 and R 3 include hydrogen; -X- includes a direct bond and -R 1 is a peroxide-containing radical, e.g., wherein R 6 , R 7 , R 8 and R 9 are, inter alia, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons and R 10 includes t-alkyl of 4 to 12 carbons. Further, polymeric peroxide compositions derived from them and their uses are disclosed.
Abstract:
The production of 3-cyano-3,5,5-trialkylcyclohexanone from the reaction of 3,5,5-trialkylcyclohexenone and hydrocyanide at elevated temperature and in the presence of a catalytic amount of an onium cyanide, is disclosed herein.
Abstract:
A process for producing a novel catalyst wherein an amorphous alumina gel is formed at least on the surface of an aluminum-containing material, the gel is heated to form crystalline α- or β-alumina trihydrate and the trihydrate is sulfided, the product of said process, and the method of producing mercaptans from alcohols or ethers and hydrogen sulfide at elevated temperature in the presence of said novel catalyst, are disclosed herein.
Abstract:
Stabilized polyurethanes, polyureas and polyurethane-polyurea polymers having hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) bonded thereto by means of a hydrazide functionality attached to the HALS are provided. The synergistic effect of a second amide functional group in the HALS-hydrazide provides improved photostabilization efficiency as compared to HALS-hydrazides of the prior art.
Abstract:
A process for producing a substantially pure organic trisulfide from mercaptan and sulfur (or high rank organopolysulfide) wherein the sulfur is reacted with mercaptan in the presence of a heterogeneous alumina-based catalyst, ammonium, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal modified silica-based catalyst, zinc-based catalyst or mixtures thereof, and recovering a product containing at least a major proportion of trisulfide.
