    Abstract: RD 12,308 ACIDIC MIXED OXIDE CATALYTIC DE-ALKYLATION OF TERTIARY-ALKYL-ETHER-ALKANOLS A de-alkylation process which comprises contacting a t-alkylether-alkanol, e.g. 4-t-butylether-n-butan-1-ol, with an acidic solid mixed oxide, e.g. silica-alumina, catalyst which results in the formation of alkanediols, e.g. 1,4-butanediol, in the substantial absence of undesirable side reactions, e.g. the formation of tetrahydrofuran. The resulting alkanediols are useful in the preparation of polyesters, e.g. polybutylene terephthalates.

    Abstract: (8CN-8329) In acordance with the invention, there are provided thermoplastic compositions comprising an admixture of: (a) polyphenylene ether resin; (b) polyester resin; and (c) a compatibilizer for (a) and (b) comprised of polycarbonate-polyester copolymer in an amount sufficient to compatiblize components (a) and (b). In preferred embodiments, the polycarbonate-poly-ester copolymer is present in an amount of at least 2%, preferably at least about 5% and more prefably from about 5% to about 25% by weight based on 100% by weight of (a) and (b). In addition, preferably, the polycarbonate component of said polycarbonate-polyester copolymer is present in an amount of at least 1%, preferably at least about 3%, and more preferably from about 3% to about 20% by weight based on 100% by weight of (a) and (b).
