Abstract: The invention relates to a stabilized peroxydicarbonate preparation and its use in the polymerization or copolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds.

Abstract: Many inorganic substrates can be oxidized with a peroxo compound, such as hydrogen peroxide. In processes which are already known, pure alkylrhenium oxides of the formula RaRebOcLd are employed. Catalyst compositions such as are obtainable from the reaction of an oxorhenium compound of the formula ReOmAn with an organylating agent, in particular a Grignard compound, without the preparation process comprising an expensive sublimation, crystallization or distillation, can be employed with the same activity in the oxidation reactions. In addition to oxidation processes, catalyst compositions are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stabilized peroxydicarbonate preparation and its use in the polymerization or copolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds.

Abstract: The new compound t-butylperoxycyclododecyl oxalate is described, as well as a method of preparing it and use of the compound as a polymerization initiator.

Abstract: This invention relates to new metallocenes with mixed substituents and enhanced activity, methods of producing metallocene compounds, and the use of metallocenamide halides for generating an active catalyst system for (co)polymerization reactions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydroperoxyhexene by reaction of 2,5-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene with hydrogen peroxide in an acidic medium. According to this process, the 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydroperoxyhexane can be prepared with good yield and in a technically simple way.

Abstract: Stable, solid acetyl peroxyborate compounds which are active oxygen-containing compounds derived from acetic acid and boron-oxygen compounds. The compounds of the invention have a peracetic acid content which can be liberated instantly and directly in water with only minor formation of hydrogen peroxide The acetyl peroxyborates of the invention are useful in washing, bleaching and cleaning agent and disinfectant applications and as oxidizing agents in organic synthesis.

Abstract: A process is described for preparing peroxyborate agglomerates having an active oxygen content of at least 14% by weight in which amorphous primary particles composed of peroxyborate prepared by a spray drying process are subjected to compacting pressing-agglomeration. Briquettes, compressed strips and tablets can be obtained which can be comminuted, if desired, to peroxyborate granules of desired particle size and bulk density. Advantageous, optionally colored, peroxyborate agglomerates, particularly peroxyborate granules are prepared. Preferred agglomerates and granules are composed of sodium peroxyborates.

Abstract: A process for preparing microcrystalline perborate hydrate products and highly concentrated, storage stable aqueous solutions used for this purpose which have a stable active oxygen content and a boron content of 3 to 8% by wt. based on the total weight of the solution. The products of the invention are suitable for numerous uses in the field of bleaching agent, disinfectant and liquid detergent formulations, and other fields of use.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of aralkyl hydroperoxides having the formula (I) is described ##STR1## in which n=1, 2 or 3, Ar means a phenyl group which can be substituted with halogen or one or more branched or straight chain alkyl groups with 1 to 5 C-atoms, or a naphthyl group, and each radical R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 means a low alkyl radical, the alkyl radicals R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, by reaction of aralkyl carbinols having the formula (II) ##STR2## in which Ar, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and n have the meaning given for formula (I), with hydrogen peroxide under acid conditions, the reaction being carried out in the presence of an acid-combining agent. An alkali sulphate, ammonium sulphate, alkali hydrogen sulphate and/or ammonium hydrogen sulphate is used in preference as the acid-combining agent. Tert.aralkyl hydroperoxides can be prepared in high yield with a high purity in a simple and safe manner with this process.
