Abstract:
A process of treating a ketoxime or aldoxime-containing amide mixture resulting from a Beckmann rearrangement of the corresponding ketoxime or aldoxime. The process involves hydrolysis of the mixture to remove the remaining ketoxime or aldoxime which are converted to the corresponding ketone or aldehyde and then separated off from the mixture. Any amino acid resulting from the hydrolysis can be reconverted to the corresponding amide by raising the temperature of the mixture.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a method for purifying lactams wherein the lactam to be purified is contacted in the fused state with inorganic adsorption agents.The said method comprises contacting the lactam to be purified in the fused state with an inorganic adsorbent, then separating the lactam from the adsorbent and regenerating said adsorbent if desired, wherein said adsorbent is impregnated with at least one impregnation compound selected from the group consisting of an acid and the alkali metal salts which are thermally stable and exert no action on the lactam at temperatures lower tha 250.degree.C.
Abstract:
Diene-lactam block polymers are produced from a metal salt of a lactam, a halogen-substituted isocyanate, a lithium-containing polymer and a lactam.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the hydrogenation of an unsaturated elastomer in the presence of a catalyst which is the reaction product of cobaltous salt of lactam or another amide or urea reduced by a trialkyl or triaryl aluminum or a dialkyl or diaryl aluminum hydride.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a pulverulent organomagnesium compound involves bringing together into intimate admixture a particulate hydroxyl functional material with an organomagnesium-containing material. The process is conducted at a temperature below the melting point of the hydroxyl functional material but at a temperature sufficient to convert at least a portion of the hydroxyl functional material to the pulverulent organomagnesium compound. The aforesaid organomagnesium compounds are useful as intermediates in generating anionic sites for anionic polymerization.
Abstract:
Crystalline sodium cefoperazone and a process for the preparation thereof comprising the combining of an aqueous acetone solution of sodium cefoperazone with a solution of acetone-methylene chloride.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a lactam magnesium halide comprising the steps of:a. reactively admixing magnesium, hydrocarbon halide and lactam in the presence of cyclic ether solvent, wherein the halide is either chloride or bromide; andb. removing the cyclic ether and the hydrocarbon residue.
Abstract:
A low molecular weight complex of a lactam and a substituted phenolic compound having the formula ##SPC1##Wherein n is an integer of 3 to 5; W is hydrogen or alkyl having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms including cycloalkyl substituents; each R and R', R.sub.2 and R'.sub.2 is alkoxy of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, nitro, cyano, hydrogen, halogen or alkyl having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms and at least one R, R', R.sub.2 and R'.sub.2 is a substituent other than hydrogen, and wherein R.sub.2 and R'.sub.2 can also be alaninyl.
