Abstract:
POLYMERS CONTAINING TERTIARY HYDROXYL GROUPS, AND THEIR PRODUCTION BY POLYMERIZING UNSATURATED LACTIC ACIDS OR COPOLYMERIZING SUCH ACIDS WITH OTHER OLEFINICALLY UNSATURATED MONOMERS.
Abstract:
New and valuable N-acylated cyclo-alkylhydroxylamines having a strong herbicidal action, and a process for controlling the growth of unwanted plants with these compounds.
Abstract:
THE PRODUCTION OF LACTAM-N-CARBOXYLIC ACID CHLORIDES HAVING 5 TO 13 RING MEMBERS BY REACTING WITH A HYDROGEN HALIDE A 1-AZA-2-HYDROXYCYCLOALKENE-(2)-CARBOXYLIC ACID CHLORIDE-(1) WHICH IS ETHERIFIED IN THE 2-POSTION. LACTAMN-CARBOXYLIC ACID CHLORIDES ARE SUITABLE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF N-SUBSTITUTED LACTAMS FROM WHICH THE CORRESPONDINGLY SUBSTITUTED POLYAMIDES MAY BE PRODUCED.
Abstract:
1. A process for the preparation of anhydrous or substantially anhydrous formic acid by hydrolyzing methyl formate in the presence of a formamide and then obtaining the formic acid from the hydrolysis mixture by distillation, wherein the hydrolysis is carried out in the presence of 0.5-3 moles, per mole of methyl formate, of a water-soluble formamide of the formula I see diagramm : EP0161544,P5,F1 where R**1 and R**2 are each alkyl or together form an alkylene group, giving a 5-membered to 7-membered ring, with the proviso that the sum of the carbon atoms in R**1 and R**2 is 5 or 6 and that, in the case of an alkylene group, a carbon atom which is not directly bonded to the N atom can be replaced by an oxygen atom.
Abstract:
2-(N-Formylamino)-propionitrile is prepared by reacting acrylonitrile with formamide in the presence of a basic compound by a process in which the basic compound used is a tertiary nitrogen base.
