Abstract:
This invention relates to novel 2-(alkoxymethyl) pentane-1,5-diisocyanates, 2-(alkoxymethyl)-pentane-1,5-diurethanes, and 2-(alkoxymethyl)-pentane 1,5-dicarbamic acid chlorides having the structure: ##STR1## in which R is a straight chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 -alkyl radical, a straight chain or branched C.sub.2 -C.sub.20 -alkenyl radical, a straight chain or branched C.sub.3 -C.sub.20 -oxaalkyl radical, an optionally substituted C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 -cycloalkyl radical, or an optionally substituted C.sub.7 -C.sub.20 -aralkyl radical and X is a --NCO--, --NH--CO.sub.2 R.sup.1 --, --NHCO.sub.2 R.sup.2 -- OR - NHCOCl-group whereby R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 can be the same or different and are a straight chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 -alkyl radical or a C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 cycloalkyl radical, as well as a process for their preparation. The 2-(alkoxymethyl)-pentane-1,5-diurethanes or 2- (alkoxymethyl)-pentane-1,5-dicarbamic acid chlorides are suited for the preparation of 2-(alkoxymethyl)-pentane-1,5-diisocyanates, which in turn are used for the preparation of plastics using the polyisocyanate addition polymerization process.

Hexamethylene diisocyanate and/or isomeric alkylene diisocyanates having 6 carbon atoms in the alkylene radical, preferably 2-methylpentamethylene 1,5-diisocyanate and/or 2-ethyltetramethylene 1,4-diisocyanate are prepared without the use of phosgene in a multiple-step process by means of(a) reacting hexamethylene 1,6-diamine and/or isomeric alkylene diamines having 6 carbon atoms in the alkylene radical with urea and alcohol in the presence of dialkyl carbonate and/or carbamic acid alkyl ester as well as, in some cases, catalysts to form hexamethylene 1,6-dialkylurethane and/or isomeric alkylene dialkylurethanes having 6 carbon atoms in the alkylene radical,(b) separation and return to reaction step (a) of alcohol, dialkyl carbonate, and/or carbamic acid alkyl ester from the reaction mixture(c) evaporation of the hexamethylene 1,6-dialkylurethane and/or isomeric alkylene dialkylurethanes having 6 carbon atoms in the alkylene radical,(d) cleavage of the vaporized diurethanes into hexamethylene diisocyanate and/or isomeric alkylene diisocyanate having 6 carbon atoms in the alkylene radical and alcohol, and(e) fractional condensation of the cleavage products.
Abstract:
Trimethylolalkanes are prepared by reacting an n-alkanal with formaldehyde and a trialkylamine in aqueous solution and then hydrogenating the product, by a method in which from 2.2 to 4.5 moles of formaldehyde and from 0.6 to 3 moles of trialkylamine are used per mole of the alkanal, and the reaction mixture is worked up by distillation either before or after the hydrogenation.
Abstract:
N- and O-substituted carbamates are prepared by reacting urea with an aminopropanol at 140.degree. C. or above. The compounds obtained by the novel process are useful starting materials for the preparation of textile finishing agents, stabilizers, plasticizers, dyes and crop protection agents.

Abstract:
Tertiary alcohols are prepared by oxidizing tertiary aldehydes with oxygen at elevated temperatures.The tertiary alcohols prepared in this way are valuable and versatile intermediates for dyes, drugs and crop protection agents and are used, for example, in the preparation of agrochemicals.
Abstract:
Aromatic amines are N-alkylated by reacting primary or secondary amines with dialkyl carbonates. The products are starting materials for the manufacture of dyes, crop protection agents and scents.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of an aryl mono-, di-, and/or polyurethane comprising the steps of A. reacting a primary aromatic mono-, di-, and/or polyamine with an O-alkyl carbamate in the presence of an alcohol at temperatures greater than 160.degree. C., andB. separating the ammonia and other by-products from the aryl mono-, di-, and/or polyurethane.The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of urea. The aryl mono-, di-, and/or polyurethanes produced are valuable end and intermediate products. They can be transferred into the corresponding isocyanates which can then be used for the preparation of polyurethanes.
