Abstract:
A process is disclosed for preparation of anhydrides containing additional carboxylic acid moieties and dianhydrides of disubstituted maleic anhydride compounds wherein the acid anhydrides and dianhydrides retain their alkene character. The resulting alkene compounds are useful as precursors for polyesters, thermally stable polyamide-imides and polyimides which are also disclosed, as well as a process for their preparation.
Abstract:
Quaternary ammonium compounds containing anhydride groups are prepared by halogenating dimethylmaleic anhydride and reacting the halogenated product with a tertiary amine. The products are useful as surfactants, biocides and as cosurfactants in enhanced oil recovery.
Abstract:
Beta-phosphosulfoxy alcohols and preparation thereof by reacting an olefinically unsaturated compound and a poly-thiophosphoric acid with oxygen using actinic radiation as an energy source at a temperature of from -10.degree. to 70.degree. C., preferably in the presence of a dye sensitizer.
Abstract:
A decarboxylation process for coupling aromatic compounds wherein cyclic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds having at least one labile ring hydrogen are reacted with the mono silver salts of aromatic carboxylic acids, or mono silver salts of unsaturated compounds such as .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated acid compounds, or silver trifluoroacetate, or the mono silver salts are reacted with themselves, by heating to temperatures of 100.degree. to 500.degree. C. at pressures of 0.1 to 10 atmospheres, or by irradiating the reactants with ultraviolet light of 200 to 400 nanometers at temperatures of -30.degree. to 100.degree. C. The resulting dimers, trimers, polysubstituted polyphenyls, polyheterocyclics and trifluoromethylated aromatics are useful as heat transfer media, as intermediates for high molecular weight polymers, pesticides and petroleum additives, and as scintillation counters.
Abstract:
Highly-purified monomers for poly(p-methylenebenzoate) polymers and poly(m-methylenebenzoate) polymers are prepared by purifying acetoxylated hydroxymethylbenzoic acid compounds derived by side-chain acetoxylation of toluic acid compounds. The purification process can be by recrystallation or by fractional distillation.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a new composition of matter dibenzofuran-2,3,6,7,-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and polymers derived therefrom including polyamic acid or polyimide polymers formed from the reaction of the above dianhydride and a diamine. The claimed dianhydride finds use as an excellent cross-linking moiety. Condensation polymers derived from the dianhydride and diamines are useful in the production of films and fibers with good thermal stability.
Abstract:
High surface area silver olefin oxide catalysts with orderly distribution of pore size are prepared by pyrolysis of silver salts of di- and polycarboxylic acids or mixtures thereof to carbon-like polymers containing silver, followed by combustion of the carbonaceous material. The resulting unsupported or supported silver catalysts are useful for oxidations, cyclizations, isomerizations, and cracking. The carbon-like polymers containing silver, before combustion of the carbonaceous material, find utility as bactericides and catalysts. Extraction of the silver yields high surface area carbon adsorbents of predetermined structure.
Abstract:
New chemical compounds useful as intermediates are 5-(1-methyl-3,4,5,6,7,7-hexahalo-norborn-4-ene-1)-isophthalic acid and 4-(1-methyl 3,4,5,6,7,7-hexahalo-norborn-4-ene-1)-orthophthalic acid, formed by oxidation of the primary or secondary alkyl groups containing from one to ten carbon atoms on the benzene ring of the Diels-Alder adduct of equimolecular amounts of hexahalocyclopentadiene and either 3,5-dialkyl-.alpha.-methyl-styrene and 3,4-dialkyl-.alpha.-methylstyrene. The acyl derivatives of these intermediates do not burn or support combustion and are also useful as extreme-pressure additives in lubricating oils. The following acyl derivatives of 5-(1-methyl-3,4,5,6,7,7-hexachloro-norborn-4-ene-1)-isophthalic acid have been prepared: the dichloride, diamide, dianilide, diethylester, polyphenylester, poly(chlorophenyl) ester, poly-ethylene glycol ester, diphenylthioester, di-methallylester, and unsaturated polyester.
