Abstract:
A method is provided for making certain diarylhalonium salts containing Group Va metal hexafluorides useful as photoinitiators, such as diphenyliodonium hexafluoroarsonate. An intermediate diarylhalonium bisulfate is prepared. Reaction is thereafter effected between the diarylhalonium bisulfate and the source of a counterion, such as AsF.sub.6 .sup.- , in the form of the corresponding acid or salt. The halonium salt photoinitiators can be used to make UV curable compositions.
Abstract:
The invention is a new process for the preparation of .alpha.-ethynyl-benzohydrols and of ring-substituted derivatives thereof by reacting the starting benzophenone or a ring-substituted derivative thereof with acetylene in a solvent delivering no protons, in the presence of an alkali metal tertiary alcoholate, preferably potassium-tert.-butylate or potassium-tert.-amylate. Also new substituted derivatives of .alpha.-ethynyl-benzhydrol are prepared by the invention.
Abstract:
1-Nitro-anthraquinone is separated from an anthraquinone nitration mixture in concentrated nitric acid by adding to the nitration mixture sulpholan and separating off the insoluble 1-nitro-anthraquinone. The quantity of sulpholan added is such that the mixture contains 10-90% by weight nitric acid and from 90-10% by weight sulpholan.
Abstract:
A process is provided for recovery and re-use of dinitrophenols employed as inhibitors of polymerization in the distillation and purification of styrene. The styrene still residues commonly referred to as tar or tars are treated with an aqueous hydroxide at a controlled pH, the phases are separated, the aqueous phase is treated with an acid and an organic solvent at a controlled pH and the resulting organic phase is recycled to a suitable point in the styrene purification system. The recycled solution is a more effective inhibitor than the dinitrophenol originally employed.
Abstract:
Highly pure 5-nitro-1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydroanthraquinone can be obtained by subjecting 6-nitronaphthoquinone-containing crude 5-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinone to Diels-Alder condensation reaction with 1,3-butadiene in a solvent including benzene, an alkylated aromatic hydrocarbon such as toluene, xylene or the like, a halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon such as chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, or the like, or a halogenated aliphathic hydrocarbon such as trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene or the like, cooling the resulting reaction solution to crystallize the reaction product, and separating the thus crystallized product by filtration. 5-nitro-1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydroanthraquinone has a relatively small solubility in the above-mentioned solvents, while the solubility of 6-nitro-1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydroanthraquinone in the solvents is rather great, thus the above-mentioned solvents being effective for the separation of these compounds from each other. The oxidation and the subsequent reduction of the thus obtained 5-nitro-1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydroanthraquinone yields 1-aminoanthraquinone with a purity above 98 wt% and a 2-aminoanthraquinone content below 1 wt%. The above-mentioned solvents are also effective for purification of 6-nitro-1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydroanthraquinone-containing 5-nitro-1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydroanthraquinone by recrystallization.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an improvement in a process for nitrating an aromatic or substituted aromatic compound e.g., toluene or ortho-xylene, by reacting such aromatic or substituted aromatic in the presence of nitric acid. The improvement for enhancing the rate of nitration as well as the selectivity of nitration at the para-position in this process comprises carrying out the nitration reaction in the presence of at least an effective amount of anhydrous calcium sulfate or soluble anhydrite.
