Abstract:
This invention relates to an improved method of separating haloalkanes from alkanes or other haloalkanes of lower halogen to carbon ratio by extraction with dialkyl sulfoxides, cyclic lactams or nitroparaffins. The haloalkanes of interest are fluoroalkanes, chloroalkanes, and bromoalkanes.
Abstract:
Polycondensation of monomer of the structure:
WHEREIN R is H or a C1-C6 alkyl group, wherein X is an alkyl radical of up to four carbons, chlorine or bromine, and n is O-4, affords polymers having recutting units of the structure:
These polymers have good thermal stability and transparency and a high, but not unduly high, glass transition temperature.
