Abstract:
A series of mono, bi and tricarbocyclic compounds, most of which have olefinic unsaturation in the ring, which may or may not have substituents thereon. While the bi and tricyclic rings may be unsubstituted, these compounds which have olefinic unsaturation, particularly multiple olefinic unsaturation, are polymerizable and copolymerizable in known polymerization systems. They are particularly good crosslinking agents. These compounds are further useful in the sense that they can be cleaved oxidatively, to corresponding carboxylic acids, aldehydes and/or alcohols which have known utility in the plasticizer and detergent arts. The compounds which do not have olefinic unsaturation can also be oxidatively cleaved to produce oxygenated, e.g., acid, alcohol or aldehyde, compounds having known utility.
Abstract:
PROCESS FOR ISOMERIZING OLEFINS BY SUBJECTING AN ISOMERIC MIXTURE OF AT LEAST ONE OLEFIN TO CONTACT AT LOW TEMPERATURES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WITH AN $-ALLYL NICKEL COMPOUND, A LEWIS ACID AND A PHOSPHINE.
Abstract:
PROCESS OF CYCLOCOOLIGOMERIZATION OF TWO DIFFERENT CONJUGATED DIENES TO PRODUCE ALICYCLIC PRODUCTS HAVING AT LEAST 8 CARBON ATOMS IN THE RING, AT LEAST TWO LOCATIONS OF OLEFINIC UNSATURATION IN THE RING, AND AT LEAST ONE SUBSTITUENT PENDENT FROM THE RING, WHICH PROCESS CYCLOCOOLIGOMERIZES THE TWO DIFFERENT CONJUGATED DIENES IN CONTACT WITH A CARBONYL-FREE, ZERO VALENT NICKEL COMPOUND CATALYST. MANY OF THE NEW PRODUCTS THUS FORMED BY THIS PROCESS ARE DESCRIBED, CHARACTERIZED, AND CLAIMED.
