Abstract:
Aqueous solution comprising (A) in the range of from 30 to 60% by weight of a complexing agent, selected from the alkali metal salts of methylglycine diacetic acid and the alkali metal salts of glutamic acid diacetic acid, (B) in the range of from 1 to 25% by weight of at least one salt of a sulfonic acid or of an organic acid, percentages referring to the total respective aqueous solution.
Abstract:
A process for preparing racemic α-amino acids or glycine, characterized in that the corresponding α-hydroxycarboxylic acid selected from hydroxyacetic acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, α-hydroxyglutamic acid, isocitric acid, tartronic acid and tartaric acid, or at least one salt of the corresponding α-hydroxycarboxylic acid is reacted with at least one nitrogen compound (c) in the presence of at least one heterogeneous catalyst containing at least one transition metal and in the presence of hydrogen, nitrogen compound (c) being selected from primary and secondary amines and ammonia.
Abstract:
The invention relates to 5-isopropyl-3-aminomethyl-2-methyl-1-amino-cyclohexane (carvone diamine) and a method for the production thereof by a) reacting carvone with hydrogen cyanide, b) then reacting the carvone nitrile obtained in step a) with ammonia in the presence of an imine-forming catalyst, and c) subsequently reacting the reaction mixture that is obtained in step b) and contains carvone nitrilimine with hydrogen and ammonia on hydrogenation catalysts. The invention further relates to the use of carvone diamine as a curing agent for epoxy resins, as an intermediate product when producing diisocyanates, as an initiator entity when producing polyetherols, and/or as a monomer for producing polyamides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing N-vinyl pyrrolidone by converting 2-pyrrolidone with acetylene, characterized in that the 2-pyrrolidone used as the initial material (hereafter referred to as initial 2-pyrrolidone) contains less than 1 weight unit of y-butyrolactone per 100 weight units of 2-pyrrolidone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to care agents comprising ethylene copolymers and to the use of the care agents or of the ethylene copolymers for improving the wet combability of hair and for achieving a waxy, groomed, soft feel to the hair.
Abstract:
Aqueous solution comprising (A) in the range of from 30 to 60% by weight of a complexing agent, selected from the alkali metal salts of methylglycine diacetic acid and the alkali metal salts of glutamic acid diacetic acid, (B) in the range of from 700 ppm to 7% by weight of a polymer being selected from polyamines, the N atoms being partially or fully substituted with CH 2 COOH groups, partially or fully neutralized with alkali metal cations, ppm and percentages referring to the total respective aqueous solution
