Abstract:
N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amine-hydrazides of dicarboxylic acids contain a light stabilizing group, a heat stabilizing group, and a reactive hydrazide functionality in the same molecule. The reactive stabilizers are prepared by reacting 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidines with diesters (or mono ester acid chlorides) of dicarboxylic acids or dialkyl itaconates followed by hydrazinolysis of the ester group of the intermediate mono ester-amide. The compounds are useful for introducing permanent heat and light stability to coreactive polymers or copolymers. They are also useful in the stabilization of inert polymeric systems against the degradative effects of heat and light when merely mixed with, rather than reacted with, the polymers for which stabilization is sought.
Abstract:
Process for adiabatically hydrofluorinating hydrochlorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons in the gaseous phase in the presence of a catalyst that is active at the initial reaction temperature and remains highly selective at the maximum reaction temperature, e.g., a Cr catalyst. The molar ratio of HF to starting compound is at least about 2.5:1. The initial reaction temperature is selected such that the HF in the feed is partially associated but not completely (HF)₆. The catalyst may be unsupported or supported.
Abstract:
Linear C₄+ alkyl mercaptans of high purity are prepared by the reaction of a di-linear(C₄+) alkyl sulfide with hydrogen sulfide at elevated temperature in the presence of an alumina material selected from gamma/eta alumina or gamma/eta alumina impregnated with up to 20% w/w of titania or rhenium oxide.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the efficient production of high purity alkane sulfonic acid and/or alkane sulfonyl chloride product wherein a compound of the formula RSX, where X is hydrogen or -SR¹ and R and R¹ are alkyl radicals is continuously reacted with chlorine in aqueous hydrochloric acid to produce a turbulent evolution of hydrochloride gas, passing the reactants through stationary mixing elements to promote plug-flow, and separately withdrawing a product. Apparatus for this process is also disclosed.
