  • Patent number: 4353830
    Abstract: Amidines are one of the strongest organic bases and find application where this property is needed, such as in phase transfer catalysis, in the form of their substituted derivatives. Their use, however, has been hampered by their expensive nature due to the only mediocre yields in their preparation. The present invention provides a process for the preparation of substituted amidines in essentially quantitative yields.

  • Patent number: 4349658
    Abstract: Polyester-carbonate copolymers, blends of polyesters with polyester-carbonate copolymers and block copolymer compositions of polyester-carbonate copolymers have improved flame retardance when portions of the copolymer contain fluorinated diphenol copolymer. The fluorinated diphenol has at least one fluorinated alkyl or fluorinated aryl group upon the methylene carbon atom positioned between the aromatic ring structures of the diphenol. Polyester-carbonate copolymers, the blends of polyesters with the polyester-carbonate copolymers and block polymer compositions of polyester-carbonate copolymers are flame retardant.
