Abstract:
A process for the production of hydroxymethyl vinyl oxazolines corresponding to the formula:
WHERE R is methyl, ethyl, or hydroxymethyl and R'' is hydrogen or methyl, comprising reacting an alkanolamine, in which to the carbon atom adjacent to the amino group there are bonded three hydroxyalkyl groups, or two hydroxyalkyl groups and an alkyl group, with an ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid in the presence of a catalyst and a polymerization inhibitor, thereby forming an amide, and heating said amide rapidly and briefly to within about 165*-210* C in the presence of additional polymerization inhibitor, thereby forming said hydroxymethyl vinyl oxazoline.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE OF A VINYL OXAZOLINE CONTAINING THE CORRESPONDING OXAZOLINE AS AN IMPURITY OF THE STEPS OF REACTING THE OXAZOLINE WITH FORMALDEHYDE TO FORM THE WATER-SOLUBLE 2-ALKYL OR ALKENYL(1,1-BIS(HYDROXYMETHYL))DERIVATIVE, THEN SEPARATING IT BY EXTRACTION WITH WATER.
Abstract:
In a process for production of styrene-butadiene copolymer by reacting styrene and butadiene in an emulsion system in the presence of a secondary emulsifying agent, the step of using as said secondary emulsifying agent an oxazoline corresponding to the formula
WHEREIN R is alkyl of from three to 17 carbon atoms, and R1 and R2 are methyl, ethyl or hydroxymethyl and can be the same or different.
