Abstract:
Polyurethane foams are prepared in the presence of a compound containing the grouping WHEREIN R1 and R2 are the same or different alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkenyl or aralkyl radicals or are members of a common cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic structure when the silicon atom is part of a silane or lower polysiloxane grouping; or R1 has the above meaning and R2 denotes an hydroxylalkyl or aminoalkyl group attached to the silicon atom through the oxygen or nitrogen atoms respectively. The invention contemplates complexes or mixtures of these compounds with organic metallic compounds also as catalysts. In addition new activator mixtures containing these catalysts are contemplated.
Abstract:
Perfluoroalkyl sulfinic acids of the formula RFSO2H wherein RF is a perfluoroalkyl radical, ARE PRODUCED BY CONTACTING THE CORRESPONDING PERFLUOROALKYL SULFINIC ACID FLUORIDE WITH HYDRAZINE IN WATER OR AN ORGANIC SOLVENT AT ABOUT 30*TO 100*C to form the hydrazonium salt. Upon addition of acid the free perfluoroalkyl sulfinic acid is liberated and may be purified by distillation or crystallization. Those compounds wherein RF has from 2 to 12 carbon atoms are new.
Abstract:
An N-(perfluoroalkyl-sulphonyl)-carbamic acid ester of a polyalkylene oxide of the formula:
in which: RF is a perfluoroalkyl radical of up to 20 carbon atoms, R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl, or
R2 is a polyoxyalkylene radical, and R3 is alkyl of up to 8 carbon atoms, alkenyl, aralkyl or
The compounds are produced by reacting a perfluoroalkylsulphonamide with a chloroformic acid ester of a polyalkylene oxide in the presence of an acid binding agent. The products are useful as surfactants in making polyurethane foams.
Abstract:
The novel methyl-(acyloxymethyl)-acyloxy silicon compounds of the formula where Y is CH3, -O-A or and -O-A is a carboxylic acid radical are obtained by adding a mono- or di-carboxylic acid to a mixture of a methyl-(halomethyl)-chlorosilane of the formula in which Hal is Cl or Br and X is CH3 or Cl, and a tertiary amine, a mono- or di-carboxylic acid. The radical -O-A may be a formic, acetic, propionic, stearic, methacrylic, benzoic, oxalic, glutaric, adipic, phthalic, isophthalic or terephthalic acid radical. In the case of a dicarboxylic acid, compounds having unit formula may be obtained where R is an alkylene radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenylene radical and n is 0 or 1. A suitable tertiary amine is triethylamino. The reaction may be carried out in an inert solvent e.g. toluene or xylene. The compounds prepared in the examples are dimethyl - (acetoxymethyl) - acetoxy silane, dimethyl - (methacryloxymethyl) - methacryloxy silane, methyl - (acetoxymethyl) - diacetoxysilane, 1,3 - dimethyl - 1,3 - di(acetoxymethyl)-diacetoxy -disoloxane and a polyester consisting of alternating adipic acid anhydride units and dimethyl-(oxymethyl)-silyl units.
Abstract:
4 - Alkyl - 2,2 - dimethyl - 2 - silamorpholines of the general formula where R is an alkyl radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms are prepared by reacting a halomethyl-dimethyl silane derivative of the general formula X-Si(CH3)2-CH2-Y, where X is chlorine or an alkoxyl radical having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and Y is chlorine or bromine, with a b -(alkylamino)-ethanol of the general formula R-NH-CH2-CH2-OH where R is as above, and a tertiary nitrogen base in an inert solvent, mixing the unseparated mixture of reaction products with an alkali metal hydroxide in aqueous solution, removing the non-aqueous phase which contains the tertiary nitrogen bases and decomposing this phase by fractional distillation. The unseparated mixture of reaction products may first be dissolved in aqueous hydrochloric acid, separated from the solvent which is precipitated and then mixed with the alkali metal hydroxide. The preparations of 2,2,4-trimethyl-2-silamorpholino, 4-ethyl-2,2-dimethyl-2-silamorpholine, and 4-n-propyl-2,2-dimethyl-2-silamorpholine, and 4-n-butyl-2,2-dimethyl-2-silamorpholine are described in the examples. A suitable tertiary nitrogen base is methylamine and a suitable inert solvent is benzene.
Abstract:
2,2,6,6 - Tetra - methyl - 2,6 - disila - 1,4-dioxan is prepared by heating 1,3-di-(hydroxymethyl) tetramethyl disiloxane in the presence of p-toluene sulphonic acid as catalyst in a column distillation apparatus to a temperature in the range 100 DEG to 150 DEG C. at atmospheric pressure until about 0.8 mol water per mol of disiloxane has distilled over together with part of the product, adding to the reaction mixture a further catalytic amount of p-toluene sulphonic acid and then heating the mixture under reduced pressure at 120 DEG to 180 DEG C. to distil over the remainder of the product. The 1,3-di-(hydroxymethyl)-tetramethyl disiloxane is obtained by transesterification of a 1,3-di-(acyloxymethyl)-tetramethyl disiloxane, a dimethyl-(acyloxymethyl)-acyloxysilane or a dimethyl-(acyloxymethyl)-alkoxy silane with excess methanol in the presence of p-toluene sulphonic acid and the process can be effected using this transesterification product in the raw state directly.
