A process for the production of tetra- and trialkylsilanes which comprises reacting(A) an alkylchlorosilane having the formulaR.sub.x SiCl.sub.(4-x)wherein R is an alkyl radical containing from one to three carbon atoms per molecule and x is an integer from 0 to 3, with(B) a trialkylaluminum compound having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different and represent alkyl radicals containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule, in a reaction zone, said reaction being conducted under hydrosilylation conditions. Selectivity to tetra- or trialkylsilanes, respectively, is controlled by the addition of particular alkaline metal salts to the reaction zone.

Abstract:
A novel ether solution of dinitrobenzophenone and a process for preparing an ether solution of diaminobenzophenone therefrom which comprises subjecting a dinitrobenzophenone dissolved in said ether solvent to hydrogenation in contact with a continuous nickel catalyst to obtain said solution of diaminobenzophenone dissolved in said ether solvent. In a specific embodiment said nickel catalyst is mounted on an inert support. In a still further embodiment, said diaminobenzophenone dissolved in said ether solvent, after removal of water therefrom, is reacted with an aromatic dianhydride to obtain a polyamic acid solution. The polyamic acid solution can be heated at a temperature above 100.degree. C. to drive off water of cyclization and thereby obtain the corresponding polyimide resin.

Compounds of the general structural formula, ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 lower alkyl, cycloalkyl or alkylamino and R.sup.2 is H or lower N-alkylcarbamyl are made from corresponding m-aminophenylacetylenic compounds by conventional methods and are useful as selective herbicides.
Abstract:
Acetylene terminated sulfones and oligomers thereof are prepared by reacting a sulfonyldiphenol with a material selected from the group consisting of a meta-dibromobenzene, a para-dibromobenzene and mixtures thereof in the presence of a potassium base to form a bis-bromophenoxydiphenyl sulfone, which is reacted with a substituted terminal acetylene compound containing at least three carbon atoms and an hydroxy group on the carbon atom adjacent to the acetylene group to form an hydroxy-acetylene terminated phenoxydiphenyl sulfone, which is then subjected to base catalyzed cleavage to form the desired acetylene terminated sulfones and oligomers. An hydroxy-arylacetylene terminated sulfone is prepared by reacting a sulfonyldiphenyl with a material selected from the group consisting of meta-dibromobenzene para-dibromobenzene and mixtures thereof in the presence of a sodium base. The resulting hydroxyphenylbromophenoxyphenyl sulfone can be: (1) reacted with a substituted terminal acetylene compound to form an hydroxy-arylacetylene terminated sulfone which in turn can be reacted with a dinitrofluorobenzene to form a dinitro-acetylene terminated sulfone which in turn can be reacted with sodium dithionite and sodium hydroxide to form a diaminoacetylene terminated sulfone; (2) reacted with a dibromobenzene to form a bis-bromophenoxydiphenyl sulfone; or (3) reacted with a bis-bromophenoxydiphenyl sulfone to form an oligomeric bromophenoxydiphenyl sulfone, which can be used to form an oligomeric actylene terminated sulfone. Metal contaminants, such as palladium and copper, used in the preparation of the acetylene terminated sulfones are removed by admixing the metal contaminated sulfone with a hydrogen halide and then contacting the admixture with an amino compound to complex the metal contaminant.
Abstract:
Chloroarylacetylenes such as m-chlorophenylacetylene and certain precursors to such chloroarylacetylene are prepared by reacting a chloroarylbromide with a substituted terminal acetylene compound containing at least three carbon atoms and a hydroxy group on the carbon atom adjacent to the acetylene group in the presence of a dialkyl or trialkyl amine solvent and a catalyst system consisting of a palladium complex containing two halogen moieties and two tri-substituted phosphine moieties. Additional triphenylphosphine can be added. A cuprous iodide promoter is also employed in the reaction sequence.
