  • Patent number: 11465968
    Abstract: The present invention provides a route for synthesizing monofunctional thiuram compounds that is safe, environmentally friendly, and cost effective. This method specifically involves synthesizing a monofunctional thiuram by (1) reacting a tetraorganylthiuram disulfide with an organyl mercaptan to produce the monofunctional thiuram and a dithiocarbamate metal salt or a dithiocarbamate metalloid salt under basic conditions, (2) separating the monofunctional thiuram in an organic phase from the dithiocarbamate metal salt or the dithiocarbamate metalloid salt in an aqueous phase, and (3) recovering the monofunctional thiuram from the aqueous phase. The monofunctional thiuram compounds made in accordance with this invention are of particular value as accelerators for use in the vulcanization of rubber. The use of these monofunctional thiuram compounds as accelerators provides good cure rates and as well as good scorch safety.

  • Patent number: 11453819
    Abstract: A viscoelastic surfactant (VES) for a self-diverting acid under high temperature has a structural formula shown as formula (I), wherein, n is saturated hydrocarbon with 2 to 8 carbon atoms; R1 is saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon with 18 to 28 carbon atoms; R2 and R3 are independently methyl, ethyl or hydrogen, and R2 and R3 can be the same or different; and X? is any one of Cl?, Br?, CO32?, SO42?, HCOO? and CH3COO?. The method for preparing the surfactant includes subjecting a fatty acid and an organic amine to acid-amine condensation to obtain an intermediate. The intermediate reacts with a metal hydride to obtain a fatty amine. Then, an acid solution is used to protonate the fatty amine to obtain an ultra-long-chain viscoelastic cationic surfactant. The present invention also provides use of the surfactant as a thickener for a self-diverting acid.

  • Patent number: 11398645
    Abstract: Processes and reaction mixtures including non-aqueous solvent mixtures are presented. Non-aqueous solvent mixtures including fluoride salt and non-aqueous solvent combinations are provided that possess high fluoride ion concentrations useful for a range of applications, including organic synthesis. Further non-aqueous solvent mixtures are provided including a salt possessing a non-fluoride anion and a non-aqueous solvent that, when contacted with aqueous fluoride-containing reagents, extract fluoride ions to form non-aqueous fluoride-ion solutions possessing high fluoride-ion concentrations. The salts include an organic cation that does not possess a carbon in the ?-position or does not possess a carbon in the ?-position having a bound hydrogen. This salt structure facilitates its ability to be made anhydrous without decomposition. Example anhydrous fluoride salts include (2,2-dimethylpropyl)trimethylammonium fluoride and bis(2,2-dimethylpropyl)dimethylammonium fluoride.
