Abstract:
This invention relates to single-component and multi-component catalytic systems using aryl titanates. Aryl titanate compounds are useful as catalysts and co-catalysts in single-component and multi-component catalytic systems (e.g., for the polymerization of macrocyclic oligoesters and the depolymerization of polyesters). Multi-component catalytic systems using aryl titanates allow increased versatility in applications such as liquid molding.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of polyether polyols by the reaction of alkylene oxides and compounds containing active hydrogens, in the presence of specific Lewis acid metal compounds as catalysts, novel bis(perfluoroalkylsulfonic acid) compounds of Group 13 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, and to a process for the preparation thereof and the use thereof as catalysts for ring-opening polymerization of cyclic ethers.
Abstract:
A description is given of a process for the transesterification of carboxylic esters, characterized in that the catalyst used is a tin(IV) compound comprising a radical of the formula bound to an inorganic support, where L is an at least divalent radical and at least one of the free valences of the Si in formula (I) is bound to the inorganic support, novel tin(IV) compounds and their preparation.
Abstract:
Useful as catalysts for the reaction of a polyisocyanate or a partially blocked polyisocyanate with a hydroxy-containing compound are organotins of the formulaR.sub.2 Sn[X--R.sup.1 --OH].sub.2whereR is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl or an aryl group,R.sup.1 is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.9 divalent hydrocarbyl group which may contain a hydroxyl substituent, andX is a linking group which may be --S-- or --O.sub.2 C--.
