  • Patent number: 5324857
    Abstract: Reaction of amine-containing substrates with hydrogen peroxide can suffer from certain problems, especially in the presence of transition metals. These problems include both in situ generation of impurities and particularly nitrosamines, which are allegedly carcinogenic, and also impaired product formation. The problems can be ameliorated by employing in the reaction mixture free radical scavengers, including in particular phenols and polyhydroxy-substituted aromatic compounds. The scavengers are advantageously employed in conjunction with a metal chelating agent such as polycarboxylic acid or an organopolyphosphonic acid.

  • Patent number: 5320774
    Abstract: This invention concerns organometallic amide compositions particularly bimetallic organoamides in liquid hydrocarbon solutions in which one metal is an alkali metal the other an alkaline earth metal, zinc or copper and particularly lithium magnesium bis-diorganoamides, such as lithium magnesium bis-diisopropylamide and processes for preparation of such amides. These novel bimetallic amides have increased solubility in liquid hydrocarbon solvents and improved thermal and precipitation stability at temperatures of 0.degree. C. to 40.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 5315039
    Abstract: Thermal decomposition of cycloalkanone oximes is inhibited by allowing nitrogen-containing compounds represented by the following formula (1) to coexist with the cycloalkanone oximes:NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 R.sub.3 (1)(wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group).

  • Patent number: 5244582
    Abstract: This invention relates to reactive groups immobilized on inorganic substrates such as derivatized glass, silica, ceramics, or metals. The immobilized reactive groups can be used to inactivate or remove nitrosating agents in liquids, thereby reducing the formation of potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines and nitroso compounds in liquids that come into contact with humans. The use of inorganic substrates provides several advantages, which include extending the range and adaptability of the method of this invention and allowing its use in liquids that would dissolve or react with organic polymers.

  • Patent number: 5136092
    Abstract: A tert-amine which contains an acid-activated color body precursor is treated to prevent it or a derivative thereof, e.g., an amine oxide, betaine, or quaternary ammonium compound, from turning pink when exposed to acidic conditions by contacting it with ammonium carbonate.
