Abstract: The quaternary ammonium or phosphonium salts of halogenated lower alkene compounds such as 4-chloro-2-alkenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride are prepared by reacting a tri-lower alkyl amine or tri-lower alkyl phosphine with 3,4-dihaloalkene-1.

Abstract: A two-stage conversion of methanol to formaldehyde characterized in that silver crystals having a size range of 8 to 40 screen mesh are employed as a catalyst in the second stage converter and space velocity in said converter is maintained within a range of from 250,000 to 600,000 reciprocal hours. The process yields a high strength formaldehyde product containing small amounts of methanol.
