Abstract: When a novel bisamidoxime compound represented by the following general formula: ##STR1## where R is an alkylidene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or a perfluoroalkylidene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, is used as a vulcanizing agent for fluorine-containing elastomers having cyano groups as cross-linkable groups, the resulting vulcanizates having a satisfactory compression set are obtained without any problem of processability such as roll kneadability, etc.

Abstract: Novel compound, 2,2-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane bisamidrazone, obtained by conversion of the carboxy groups of 2,2-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane to acid chloride groups, followed by reaction with ammonia; dehydration reaction of the resulting 2,2-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane diamide; reaction of the thus obtained 2,2-bis(4-cyanophenyl)hexafluoropropane with alcohol; and reaction of the resulting 2,2-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane bisiminoalkyl ether with hydrazine is a useful vulcanizing agent for fluorine-containing elastomer having cyano group.
