Abstract: Bis-(norbornyl or substituted norbornyl) derivatives of a phenol or phenylamine of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein each A is O or NH; M is a bivalent radical such as the residue of an aldehyde, ammonia, water or H.sub.2 S; each R is a hydrocarbyl or an inertly substituted hydrocarbyl group; each R.sub.1 is independently a hydrocarbyl or an inertly substituted hydrocarbyl group and each n is independently an integer from 0 to 3 are useful as antioxidants for a variety of materials including latex compositions for preparing latex foam backed carpets.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of 1-aminobenzene-2-sulphonic acids of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.dbd.H or a substituent andn=1-4,and their salts, in particular their alkali metal salts, by oxidation of compounds of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 .dbd.H, a cation, in particular an alkali metal cation, or a radical of the formula ##STR3## characterized in that the oxidation is carried out in a weakly acidic to alkaline pH range. The process can also be carried out as a one-pot process, using the corresponding benzothiazoles as starting materials.

Abstract: Di(vinylaryl)alkyl polysulfides and curable, low odor (vinylaryl)alkyl-terminated polysulfide copolymers having the general structure ##STR1## wherein n is an integer from about 2 to about 8, 1 and m are positive integers, each R is independently an organic polyradical with the radicals residing on carbon atoms, p is zero or a positive integer which is the difference between the number of radicals on R and 2, and each Z is independently chosen from the class consisting of (vinylaryl)alkyl and other noncrosslinking monoradicals, provided that a sufficient proportion of the Z groups are (vinylaryl)alkyl that the polymer, when cured, does not cold flow. Additionally, a method of preparing said polymers and useful adhesive, sealant and caulking compositions made therefrom are disclosed.

Abstract: 3-Alkoxy-4-substituted-phenoxy-2,3-unsaturated acid esters and derivatives thereof and the use thereof for the control of weeds.

Abstract: Organic sulfoxides having a latent allyl group bound to the sulfur are enzyme inhibitors of the suicide or K.sub.cat type.

Abstract: Sulfurized phenols, e.g., phenol sulfides, disulfides or polysulfides, oligomers thereof or mixtures of same when treated with alkyl vinyl ethers provide excellent metal anti-corrosivity characteristics without significant reduction of antioxidant, antiwear or other desired properties when incorporated into organic media such as lubricants.
