Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing cyclic carbonates of formula Ia or Ib or mixtures thereof (Ia) (Ib) comprising the process step: a) reacting a propargylic alcohol of formula II (II) with carbon dioxide in the presence of at least one transition metal catalyst TMC1, which comprises a transition metal selected from metals of groups 10, 11 and 12 of the periodic table of the elements according to IUPAC and at least one bulky ligand.
Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of processes for the generation of thin inorganic films on substrates, in particular atomic layer deposition processes. It relates to a process for preparing metal films comprising (a) depositing a metal-containing compound from the gaseous state onto a solid substrate and (b) bringing the solid substrate with the deposited metal-containing compound in contact with a reducing agent in the gaseous state, wherein the reducing agent is or at least partially forms at the surface of the solid substrate a carbene, a silylene or a phosphor radical.
Abstract:
A catalytic process for preparing an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid salt from an alkene, carbon dioxide and an alkoxide having a secondary or tertiary carbon atom directly bound to a [O−] group is described. The alcohol byproduct is distilled off after an intermediate phase separation. This provides pure β,β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid salt at minimum effort.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of lipophilic polyalkylenepolyamines by homogeneously catalyzed alcohol amination, where aliphatic amino alcohols are reacted with one another or aliphatic diamines or polyamines are reacted with aliphatic diols or polyols with the elimination of water in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst, at least one of the reactants comprising an alkyl or alkylene group having five or more carbon atoms, and after the reaction a phase separation into at least one apolar phase and at least one polar phase being present, the lipophilic polyalkylenepolyamines being present in enriched form in the apolar phase. Polyalkylenepolyamines obtainable by such processes, and polyalkylenepolyamines comprising hydroxyl groups, secondary amines or tertiary amines. Uses of such polyalkylenepolyamines as adhesion promoters for printing inks, adhesion promoters in composite films, cohesion promoters for adhesives, crosslinkers/curing agents for resins, primers in paints, wet-adhesion promoters for emulsion paints, complexing agents and flocculating agents, penetration assistants in wood preservation, corrosion inhibitors, immobilizing agents for proteins and enzymes.

Abstract:
Spent polyurethanes are returned to the value chain by hydrogenating the spent polyurethanes in a hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of at least one homogeneous transition metal catalyst complex, wherein the transition metal is selected from metals of groups 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the periodic table of elements according to IUPAC, to obtain a polyamine and a polyol.
