Abstract: An improved process is disclosed for the preparation of bis(2-haloalkyl) phosphorohalidates. This process comprises the steps of reacting phosphorus trihalide with a stoichiometric excess of alkylene oxide to form tris(2-haloalkyl) phosphite, substantially eliminating the presence of unreacted alkylene oxide in the tris(2-haloalkyl) phosphite, and finally converting it to bis(2-haloalkyl) phosphorohalidate by reaction with halogen.

Abstract: A catalytically stabilized polyol composition, for use in the preparation of polyurethane foam, is disclosed which comprises a halogen-containing polyol, an amine catalyst and a sulfur-containing organotin compound.
Abstract: A process is provided for preparing 3-trichloromethyl-5-chloro-1,2,4-thiadiazole in improved yields by reacting a defined molar excess trichloroacetamidine with trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride while controlling pH of the reaction mixture. The present process may advantageously be employed in a batch or continuous process.

Abstract: A novel silicate-based surfactant composition is prepared by a selective process involving (1) reaction of silicon tetrahalide with water and alcohol followed by (2) transesterification with a polyether alcohol. The resulting surfactant composition is utilized as a stabilizer in the production of polyurethane foam.

Abstract: A continuous process for preparing 2,4,4,4-tetrachlorobutanol by reacting allyl alcohol with carbon tetrachloride in the presence of a catalyst system comprised of carbon dioxide and an iron-containing material.
Abstract: A new group of halogenated acetals is disclosed. These acetals, which are derived from the reaction of 2,4,4,4-tetrachlorobutanol with an aldehyde, are useful as additives for reducing the burning rate of polyurethane foam.
Abstract: An improved apparatus is disclosed for the on-site generation of polyurethane foam. The apparatus comprises a timing device, which is readily accessible to the foaming operator, for accurately controlling the size of each foam shot.
Abstract: Selected tetrafunctional methylene-bridged aromatic isocyanates and a method for their preparation are disclosed. The utility of these isocyanates as cross-linking agents for polyurethanes is also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved process is disclosed for the hydrogenation of dinitrotoluene to toluene diamine in the presence of an aliphatic alcohol solvent. Aimed at preventing the formation of N-alkyl toluene diamine by-product, the improvement resides in carrying out the hydrogenation reaction in the presence of a small proportion of carbon monoxide.
Abstract: An improvement is disclosed in the preparation of rigid polyurethane foams which have relatively high surface friability. The improvement resides in the use of a select group of amine-based polyols to reduce the friability of the resulting foam.
