Abstract:
A process for preparing a copoly(arylene sulfide) corresponding to the structure[(--A--S--).sub.1-x (--A--S--S--).sub.x ].sbsb.nwherein x is in the range of 0.5 to 0.001 by reacting a mixture of a diiodoaromatic compound and elemental sulfur which contains less than 0.05 weight percent carbon.
Abstract:
A method of preparing an aryl alkene compound comprising reacting an iodoaromatic compound an alkene and an alkanol in the presence of a palladium catalyst and the absence of a Bronsted base.
Abstract:
A process for iodinating aromatic compounds by reacting an aromatic compound with oxygen at low temperatures in the presence of a non-acid catalyst containing an oxidation catalyst. The catalyst may be regenerated by heating the catalyst in the presence of oxygen.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the co-production of aromatic carboxylic esters and alkyl iodides by the carbonylation of aromatic iodides in the presence of an alkanol and a palladium catalyst.
