Abstract:
A method for the removal of isobutene oligomers from an isobutene polymer is disclosed, wherein the isobutene polymer is stripped with vapours of a saturated hydrocarbon having at least 8 carbon atoms and the isobutene oligomers are at least partly driven off. Problematic isobutene oligomers are largely removed without affecting the reactivity of the isobutene polymer (expressed as content of methylidene double bonds).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for production of polyisobutyl succinate anhydrides with a mean molar ratio of succinic anhydride groups to polyisobutyl groups of from 10:1 to 1.3:1 by thermal reaction of highly reactive polyisobutenes with a number average molecular weight Mn of 350 to 50,000 and with a content of terminal vinylic double bonds of more than 90 mol % with maleic acid or maleic anhydride in a molar ratio of from 1:3 to 1:0.95. The polyisobutyl succcinate anhydrides thus obtained are suitable for production of polyisobutyl succinate anhydrides useful as additives in fuel or lubricant compositions, which have at least one primary or secondary amino group, an imino group and/or a hydroxy group.
Abstract:
Oil soluble detergent, comprises a reaction products of (a) the conversion of polyalkene epoxide with an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and (b) conversion of the reaction product of (a) with a nucleophile comprising amine and/or alcohol. An independent claim is included for preparation of functionalized polyalkene, comprising reacting polyalkene epoxide with the ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride.
Abstract:
Functionalizing isobutene polymer comprises hydroboration of isobutene polymers that exhibit at least one terminal carbon-carbon double bond with borane-dimethyl sulfide complex.
Abstract:
The invention relates to spiro compounds of the formula (I) and monolithic materials produced therefrom by double ring-opening polymerization, made of a porous metal or semi-metal oxide framework, and suitable for use as a catalyst support or as a support for active agents.
Abstract:
A process is described for removing isobutene oligomers from an isobutene polymer by stripping the isobutene polymer with vapors of a saturated hydrocarbon having at least 8 carbon atoms and at least partly driving out the isobutene oligomers. Troublesome isobutene oligomers are substantially removed without impairing the reactivity of the isobutene polymer (expressed as the content of the methylidene double bonds).
Abstract:
Preparation of polyisobutylene having a content of terminal double bonds of more than 50% by polymerizing isobutene using a polymerization catalyst customary therefor from a technical 1-butene-, 2-butene- and isobutene-containing C4 hydrocarbon stream which may comprise up to 3000 ppm by weight, of 1,3-butadiene, by reducing the content of oxygenates in the C4 hydrocarbon stream before the polymerization of the isobutene by contacting it with an inorganic adsorbent at a pressure of from 1 to 20 bar and a temperature of from 20 to 220° C.
