Abstract:
2-VINYLBICYCLO(2.2.1)HEPT - 5(6) -YL AND 2-EPOXYETHYLBICYCLO(2.2.1)HEPT-5(6)-YL COMPOUNDS, WHEREIN THE VINYL COMPOUNDS ARE PREPARED BY THE ADDITION OF THE ACTIVE HYDROGEN-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS TO THE STRAINED-RING DOUBLE BOND OF THE BICYCLO-HEPTENE RING IN 2-VINYLBICYCLO(2.2.1)HEPT-5-ENE AND THE EPOXY COMPOUNDS ARE PREPARED BY THE EPOXIDATION OF THE VINYL COMPOUNDS. THE COMPOUNDS FIND UTILITY AS SOLVENTS FOR RESINS AND OILS, MONOMERS FOR PREPARING SYNTHETIC WAXES AND RESINS, CHEMICAL INTERMEDIATES FOR PHARMACEUTICALS, WETTING AGENTS, INSECTICIDES, EMULSIFYING AGENTS, DETERGENTS, BACTERICIDES AND FUNGICIDES.
Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of Group VIII metal cyanides or metal cyanide complexes wherein cyanogen is reacted with a Group VIII metal or metal complex.
Abstract:
2-Vinylbicyclo(2.2.1)hept-5(6)-yl and 2epoxyethylbicyclo(2.2.1)hept-5(6)-yl compounds, wherein the vinyl compounds are prepared by the addition of the active hydrogencontaining compounds to the strained-ring double bond of the bicyclo-heptene ring in 2-vinylbicyclo(2.2.1)hept-5-ene and the epoxy compounds are prepared by the epoxidation of the vinyl compounds. The compounds find utility as solvents for resins and oils, monomers for preparing synthetic waxes and resins, chemical intermediates for pharmaceuticals, wetting agents, insecticides, emulsifying agents, detergents, bactericides and fungicides.
Abstract:
Halo(aryl)metal compounds are readily produced when a Group VIII metal or a compound or complex of a Group VIII metal is reacted with an aryl halide substituted with electron-withdrawing groups. The compounds have utility as catalysts for the oxidation of methyl benzenes and as intermediates in the arylation of olefins.
