Abstract:
The invention relates to block copolymers of the A-B-A type where each A is the phenoxy residue of a poly(2,6-disubstituted1,4-phenylene oxide) having one terminal hydroxyl per polymer molecule and B is the residue of a carbonate precursor having two groups which are reactive with the hydroxyl group of said poly(phenylene oxide). These compositions are useful in producing molded articles, films, fibers, etc., having modified properties compared to the parent poly(phenylene oxides).
Abstract:
IMPURE DIETHYNYLBENZENES ARE PURIFIED BY COOLING A SOLUTION OF THE MATERIAL IN A LIQUID ALKANE, MAINTAINING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SOLUTION AT LEAST AS LOW AS -50*C., UNTIL THE PURIFIED DIETHYNYLBENZENE PRECIPITATES FROM THE SOLUTION AND ISOLATING THE PRECIPITATE FROM THE SOLUTION.

1,219,638. Preparing phenols and xanthenes. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 27 June, 1968 [11 Aug., 1967], No. 30743/68. Heading C2C. Phenols of the formula where R, R 1 and R 11 are H atoms, or alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkaryl, aryl or aralkyl radicals, R 1 in addition can be an alkoxy radical, R 11 in addition can be an OH, alkoxy or aryloxy radical, and a pair of adjacent R 11 radicals or R 1 and R 11 radicals may represent a fused ring system, are obtained by heating in an inert atmosphere a diphenyl ether of formula to a temperature of 250‹ to 450‹ C., and when an R 1 on the benzene nucleus which does not contain the R 2 CH group is hydrogen, xanthenes of the formula are obtained. An oxidizing agent may be added to the reaction mixture. Examples are given for the production of the compounds. The invention also comprises the following compounds per se: 2-methyl-6-(diphenylmethyl) - phenol, 2 - methyl - 6 - (4 - -methoxybenzyl) - phenol, 2 - methyl - 6 - (3,5 - dimethyl- 4 - methoxy - or - hydroxybenzyl) - phenol.
