Abstract: Amphoacetate surfactants are made by reacting a compound of formula
RCONHCH2CH2NHCH2CH2OH
where R is an aliphatic radical, with formaldehyde and a cyanide of formula:
R1CN, wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkali metal, and, when R1 represents a hydrogen atom, hydrolysing the nitrile obtained with an alkali.

Abstract: Substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. 1,3-difluorobenzene, are produced by dediazoniation of the corresponding aromatic primary amines by converting them into a corresponding diazonium salt in the presence of hypophosphorous acid and a metal catalyst so that the diazonium group is replaced by hydrogen as it is formed.
Abstract: Novel cerium (IV) oxidic compounds, well suited as catalysts, e.g., for the clean combustion of hydrocarbon fuels and for the "drying" of paint compositions, each Ce(IV) atom of which being coordinated with two anions of an organic oxyacid advantageously having a pKa greater than 1, preferably greater than 2, or a mixture of such oxyacids, and the oxidic oxygen atom or atoms of which being other than those comprising the organic oxyacids; representative such novel cerium (IV) oxidic compounds, whether yellow crystalline solids or yellow liquids, have the formula:(H.sub.2 O).sub.p ?Ceo(A).sub.2.(AH).sub.n.!.sub.min which the radicals A, which may be the same or different, are each the residue of an organic oxyacid of formula AH, p is an integer ranging from 0 to 5, n ranges from 0 to 2 and m is an integer ranging from 1 to 12.

Abstract: Aluminum complexes useful as cross-linking agents for coating compositions, especially high solids compositions containing an alkyd resin binder, are made by reacting a volatile oxime with a product of reaction of (1) an aluminum alcoholate or phenolate, (2) a carboxylic acid and/or .beta.-diketo compound, and (3) optionally water.
