Abstract: Severely sterically hindered secondary aminoether alcohols are prepared by a process comprising reacting a ketene with sulfuric acid to produce an anhydride which is then reacted with, to cleave the ring of, a dioxane to yield a cleavage product which is then aminated using an amine, followed by hydrolysis with a base to yield the desired severely sterically hindered secondary aminoether alcohol.

Abstract: Severely sterically hindered secondary aminoether alcohols are prepared by reacting acid anhydrides or organic carboxylic acid halides with SO3 to yield a sulfonic carboxylic anhydride compound which is then reacted with a dioxane to cleave the ring of the dioxane yielding a cleavage product which is then aminated with an alkylamine and hydrolyzed with a base to yield the severely sterically hindered secondary aminoether alcohol.

Abstract: Severely sterically hindered secondary aminoether alcohols are prepared by reacting an organic carboxylic acid or alkali metal salt of an organic carboxylic acid with a sulfonyl halide, a sulfuryl halide, a mixed sulfuryl ester halide or a mixed sulfuryl amide halide to yield a sulfonic-carboxylic anhydride compound which is then reacted with a dioxane to cleave the ring of the dioxane, yielding a cleavage product which cleavage product is then aminated with an alkylamine and hydrolyzed with base to yield the severely sterically hindered secondary aminoether alcohol.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel organophotoreceptor that includes: (a) a charge transport material comprising a fluorenone hydrazone having a) least two fluorenone alkylsulfonylphenylhydrazone groups, b) at least two fluorenone pyrrolylhydrazone groups, c) at least two fluorenone benzotriazolylhydrazone groups, d) at least two fluorenone sulfolanylhydrazone groups, e) at least two fluorenone pyrazolylhydrazone groups, f) at least two fluorenone naphthylhydrazone groups, g) at least two fluorenone tetrazolylhydrazone groups, h) at least two fluorenone stilbenylhydrazone groups, or i) at least two fluorenone(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)benzylhydrazone groups. Some of these fluoreneones may be represented by the formula where n is an integer between 2 and 6, inclusive; R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl; R2 is alkylsulfonylphenyl or one of its derivatives; X is a linking group having the formula —(CH2)m—, branched or linear.

Abstract: An organophotoreceptor that includes: (a) a charge transport material having the formula wherein A is selected from heterocyclic groups, naphthyl group, (9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)benzyl group, alkylsulfonylphenyl, or stilbenyl, B is selected from hydrogen, alkyl group, and an aryl group, with the proviso that when A is naphthyl, B is naphthyl; or where R1 is selected from the group consisting of N-pyrrolyl, N-pyrazolyl, N-tetrazolyl, N-indolyl, N-carbazolyl, N-triazolyl, N-imidazolyl, N-benzimidazolyl, N-indazolyl, and N-benzotriazolyl group, and R3 is a 9-fluorenone group.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a process for pretreating coal preliminary to a primary liquefaction or hydroconversion block. In the process, a coal feed, slurried in a solvent, is reacted with carbon monoxide in the presence of a chemical promoter at an elevated temperature and pressure. The promoter enhances the depolymerization and hydrogenation of the coal during pretreatment.
