Abstract: Polyoxyalkylaryl polyamines are prepared by reacting a polyoxyalkylene polyol with an aromatic amine in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst containing Ni, Co, Cu or Mn.

Abstract: Electroconductive foams are prepared by dehydrohalogenating a foam containing a halogen-containing polymer.

Abstract: Carbamates are prepared from organic carbonates and aromatic amines in the presence of zinc, tin or cobalt salts of monovalent organic compounds having a pKa value of less than 2.8 and compounds having more than one carboxyl group per molecule and oxides, sulfides and carbonates at a temperature of at least 200.degree. C.

Abstract: Carbamates are prepared from organic cabonates and aromatic amines in the presence of zinc or tin salts of monovalent organic compounds having a pKa value of at least 2.8 such as zinc naphthenate and which are soluble at the reaction conditions.

Abstract: A synergistic catalytic effect is realized in the esterification reaction between an organic carboxylic acid and a vicinal epoxide by using a catalyst system comprising: (a) a compound containing an amino and/or ammonium nitrogen atom, in combination with (b) a soluble compound containing an ionizable atom of iron or chromium.

Abstract: Polyhalogenated polyols are prepared having the formula (Q)--N(R).sub.b --(CH.sub.2).sub.c N(Q)].sub.d --.sub.2).sub.c OH wherein Q is 3-polyhalophenoxy-2-hydroxy-propyl; R is --CH.sub.2).sub.c OH or --CH.sub.2).sub.c CH.sub.3 ; a is 1 or 2; b is 0 or 1; c is 1-4 and d is 0 or 1 with the proviso that when a is 2, b is 0 and halo is bromine or chlorine.These polyols such as N,N-bis[3-(2',4'-dibromophenoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl]ethanolamine are used to make fire retardant rigid polyurethane foams using isocyanates, blowing agents, and the like.

Abstract: Reaction products of isocyanuric acid and derivatives thereof such as hydroxy-phenyl isocyanuric acid reacted with 1,2-epoxy-containing compounds such as a mixture of propylene oxide and phenyl glycidyl ether have been discovered to be effective substitutes for 4,4'-methylene-bis(2-chloroaniline) as a crosslinker in high resiliency, flexible, polyurethane foams. The crosslinkers of the present invention are not presently suspected of being carcinogenic.
