Abstract:
Polyamide-esters may produce by reacting a polyethylene glycol monoamine with one or more dicarboxylic acids. Two methods may be employed: (1) the polyethylene glycol monoamine may be reacted with at least two different dicarboxylic acids simultaneously, or (2) the polyethylene glycol monoamine may be reacted with a first dicarboxylic acid in a first step to form an adduct, and then reacting the adduct with a second dicarboxylic acid to form the polyamide-esters, where the first and second dicarboxylic acids may be the same or different. Suitable dicarboxylic acids include, adipic acid; terephthalic acid; isophthalic acid; t-butyl isophthalic acid; 1,1,3-trimethyl-5-carboxy-3-(p-carboxyphenyl) indane, also known as phenylindane dicarboxylic acid (PIDA); naphthalenic dicarboxylic acid and mixtures thereof. Suitable polyethylene glycol monoamines include diethylene glycol monoamine, triethylene glycol monoamine and tetraethylene glycol monoamine. Terephthalic acid is a preferred acid, and in one embodiment gives polyamide-esters with the formula ##STR1## where R is an alkyl or aryl group having from 3 to 34 carbon atoms, x ranges from 2 to 6, and y ranges from about 2 to about 50.
Abstract:
Novel fatty amines, amides and salts thereof may be made from the reaction of polyoxyalkylenepolyamine residues with fatty acids and/or fatty acid esters under relatively mild reaction conditions in the absence of a catalyst. Remarkably, the residues or bottoms products from the synthesis of polyoxyalkylenepolyamines, such as triethylene glycol diamine and tetraethylene glycol diamine, also known as JEFFAMINE.RTM. EDR amines, may be reacted with the fatty acids and/or fatty acid esters to give materials useful in corrosion inhibitors, pigment wetting agents, mineral flotation and flocculation aids, asphalt emulsifiers, surfactants, detergents, petroleum additives, etc.
Abstract:
Novel cyclic ester-amides having the formula: ##STR1## where R is an alkyl group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and x ranges from 2 to 6 by reacting a polyethylene glycol monoamine having the formula NH.sub.2 --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.x --H, where x is as above, with at least one dicarboxylic acid, where the dicarboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of glutaric, adipic, pimelic acids and mixtures thereof. The a molar ratio of polyethylene glycol monoamine to dicarboxylic acid should be about 1:1. Catalysts may be optionally used, and may include such compounds as titanium alkoxides; and zinc, manganese and antimony salts of carboxylic acids. This method is anticipated to be a useful step in a new preparation of valuable cyclic products.

Abstract:
Diisocyanate and polyoxyalkylene diamine reaction products which contain as the principle reaction component, a diamine having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R' independently represents hydrogen or methyl and x is a number having an average value of at least 1 to about 60 and a diisocyanate of the formula: ##STR2## The products of the invention are obtained by reacting a polyoxyalkylene diamine with an excess of diisocyanate in the presence of a polar solvent to obtain products with the following general structures: ##STR3## where B is alkyl group from diisocyanates. These products and the corresponding blocked isocyanate prepolymer are further used to prepare coatings by reaction with polyoxyalkylene polyamine.
Abstract:
Ethyl and n-propyl esters of carboxylic acids are prepared in good yield from methanol, syngas and a carboxylic acid by contacting a mixture of the carboxylic acid, carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methanol with a catalyst composition comprising a ruthenium-containing compound, a cobalt-containing compound and a quaternary onium salt or base, and heating the resulting mixture at an elevated temperature and pressure for sufficient time to produce the desired ethyl and propyl esters, and then recovering the same from the reaction mixture.
Abstract:
Substantially quantitative yields of bibenzyl hydroperoxide and bibenzyl dihydroperoxide can be obtained when oxygen is reacted with bibenzyl (1,2-diphenylethane) in the presence of a minor amount of sodium bicarbonate at a temperature within the range of about 100.degree. to about 160.degree. C. to provide an oxidation product wherein the bibenzyl is substantially selectively converted to the bibenzyl hydroperoxides. The bibenzyl hydroperoxides can be used as raw materials for the production of propylene oxide by reacting the bibenzyl hydroperoxides with propylene.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for preparing products such as 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran which comprises contacting unsaturated compounds such as allyl alcohol with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a rhodium carbonyl catalyst and a bi-solvent system. The bi-solvent system includes an aromatic solvent and an amide solvent and may be materials such as p-xylene and acetamide. Such a system provides for easy catalyst recovery since the rhodium catalyst is selectively soluble in the p-xylene whereas the desired product is conversely selectively soluble in the acetamide phase.
