Abstract:
A one-step solution technique for preparing an aromatic polyimide acid which comprises reacting an aromatic dianhydride with an aromatic diamine in the presence of diglyme and a sufficient amount of a co-solvent to maintain the polyimide acid in solution, said co-solvent having the formula:ROHwhere R is H, an aliphatic branched or straight-chain hydrocarbon having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or a methoxy substituted aliphatic branched or straight-chain hydrocarbon having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
Substituted acetylenes wherein the amino and acetylene groups are directly connected to aromatic ring carbon atoms and wherein the substituted acetylene has at least 3 carbon atoms and a hydroxyl group on the carbon atom adjacent to the acetylene group are claimed as new compositions of matter. The new compositions are prepared by the selective reduction of the corresponding nitroaromatic by contacting the nitroaromatic and free molecular hydrogen with a catalyst consisting essentially of ruthenium. A new process is also described for the preparation of an aminophenylacetylene.
Abstract:
A mixture of polycyclic aromatic polycarboxylic acids carrying nuclear nitro groups that is substantially soluble in acetone but substantially insoluble in water and a process for preparing the mixture.
Abstract:
The silahydrocarbon product containing at least 75 weight percent of saturated silahydrocarbons with the remainder being unsaturated silahydrocarbons is produced by a process in which admixture comprising(A) at least one alpha-olefin containing from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms per molecule, and(B) at least one alkylsilane selected from the group consisting of(i) a dialkylsilane having the formulaR--SiH.sub.2 --R.sub.1(ii) a trialkylsilane having the formula ##STR1## and (iii) mixtures thereof,wherein R and R.sub.1, the same or different, each represent an alkyl radical of from one to 20 carbon atoms per molecule with a catalyst comprising a homogeneous rhodium-containing catalyst or a heterogeneous rhodium-containing catalyst in a halogen-free inert solvent, under hydrosilylation reaction conditions to produce a mixture containing saturated and unsaturated silane hydrocarbons useful as lubricants. The unsaturated silane hydrocarbons can be substituted with sulfur to provide improved lubricating characteristics.
Abstract:
A process for reducing the amount of ortho nitro aromatic keto compounds in a mixture containing the same which comprises contacting such mixture with oleum.
Abstract:
3,3'-diamino-4,4'-benzophenonedicarboxylic acid, 4,4'-diamino-3,3'-benzophenonedicarboxylic acid and 3,4'-diamino-3',4-benzophenonedicarboxylic acid and process for preparing same.
Abstract:
Aromatic nitroacetylene compounds wherein both the nitro and acetylene groups are directly connected to aromatic ring carbon atoms are hydrogenated in dilute concentration in an inert solvent at high conversion levels to selectively reduce the nitro function using an unsupported ruthenium disulfide catalyst. Of particular interest is the preparation of an aminophenylacetylene from a nitrophenylacetylene.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a mixture of polycyclic aromatic polycarboxylic acids that is substantially soluble in acetone but substantially insoluble in water which comprises subjecting a slurry containing coal to reaction with aqueous nitric acid in an atmosphere containing molecular oxygen, mechanically separating the solids in the resulting slurry, extracting the resulting solids with a polar solvent to separate therefrom a mixture of polycyclic aromatic polycarboxylic acids substantially soluble in acetone but substantially insoluble in water and a mixture of polycyclic aromatic polycarboxylic acids substantially insoluble in acetone and substantially insoluble in water.
Abstract:
