Abstract:
The present invention relates to uses of vanadium to convert aldehydes and ozonides into their respective acids and/or ketones. More particularly, this invention relates to the oxidative work-ups following ozonolysis using vanadium, using vanadium during ozonolysis, and using vanadium to oxidize aldehydes in general. The invention also relates to methods comprising the ozonolysis of oleyl alcohol in the presence of either an acid or an alcohol.
Abstract:
The invention contemplates certain polyethers, polyether derivatives, compositions comprising the same, and methods of making and using those same polymers.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to methods of producing alkoxylated or hydroxylated terpenes comprising the steps of continuously passing a solution comprising an alcohol in combination with a terpene over an acidic resin catalyst in a packed bed reactor in order to yield a product, as well as compounds that are the products of the methods described herein.
Abstract:
