Abstract:
The invention provides an N-alkenyllactam having at least a 6-membered lactam ring, stabilized by phenothiazine and/or derivatives thereof, and a process for the stabilization of N-alkenyllactams.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to storage stable multi-component mixtures containing:A. at least one compound selected from the group consisting of lactams and aza lactams;B. at least one compound selected from the group consisting of water, and difunctional acid-group-free organic compounds containing functional groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, primary amino-, secondary amino, and sulfhydryl groups; andC. at least one acid selected from the group consisting ofI. mono- and poly-carboxylic acids,Ii. organic and inorganic acids of phosphorus,Iii. inorganic acids of boron, andIv. partially hydrolyzed antimonous and antimonic acid esters of polyhydroxyl compounds with molecular weights of from 62 to 600.
Abstract:
Hexaorgano distannanes of the general formula R.sub.3 Sn-SnR.sub.3 significantly reduce or eliminate the discoloration which occurs when mixtures containing an alkali metal salt of a lactam are stored under an inert atmosphere for extended periods of time at temperatures between ambient and 100.degree.C. R in the foregoing formula represents a monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing between 1 and 20 carbon atoms.
