Patent number: 9388114Abstract: Compositions comprising an alkyl 3-hydroxybutyrate and one or more additional components are provided. The compositions of the present invention may include at least one alkyl 3-hydroxybutyrate having at least 3 and not more than 5 carbon atoms, along with one or more additional components including, for example, alkyl butyrates, alkyl acetates, alkyl alcohols, and dimers and/or trimers of the alkyl 3-hydroxybutyrate. Such compositions may be products of, for example, the hydrogenation of an acetoacetate-containing composition.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Garry Kenneth Weakley, Charles Everette Kelly, Therese T. Golob

Patent number: 9255059Abstract: A method for making an alkyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is provided. The method can include reacting an alkyl alcohol with diketene to form an alkyl acetoacetate and then hydrogenating the alkyl acetoacetate to form the alkyl 3-hydroxybutyrate. The method of the present invention may also include separating one or more impurities an alkyl acetoacetate stream and subjecting the purified acetoacetate mixture to hydrogenation to form the alkyl 3-hydroxybutyrate. Methods of the present invention can be carried out on a lab, pilot, or commercial scale.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2013Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Garry Kenneth Weakley, Charles Everette Kelly

Patent number: 8394997Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the isomerization of 2,2,4,4-tetraalkylcyclobutane-1,3-diols, such as 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-diol, by contacting the diol with a supported ruthenium catalyst in the presence of hydrogen at elevated pressures and temperatures. The process is carried under conditions in which there is no net production of 2,2,4,4-tetraalkylcyclobutane-1,3-diol. The process may be carried out in the presence or absence of a solvent and in the liquid or vapor phase.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2010Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Zhufang Liu, Lori Cooke Ensor, Kelmara Khadene Kelly, Jerome Leonard Stavinoha, Jr., Kim Steven Chamberlin, Charles Everette Kelly, Carey Dan Ashcroft, Charles Edwan Sumner, Jr.

Patent number: 7973194Abstract: Diesters of 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylate are surprisingly more efficient PVC plasticizers and fuse PVC faster and at a lower temperature than similar phthalates or terephthalate diesters. Hydrogenated orthophthalate diesters are slower fusing, i.e., require higher temperatures, than do the corresponding orthophthalate diesters.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2010Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Nancy Ellen Kinkade, Kim Steven Chamberlin, David Justin Olsen, Mark Stephen Holt, Martin James Stimpson, Charles Everette Kelly

Publication number: 20090092686Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the recovery of a phytolipid composition from a vegetable oil by-product. The phytolipid composition produced comprises squalene, phytosterols, mixed tocopherols and tocotrieneols, and vegetable wax and is useful as an emollient. The phytochemical composition may be applied directly to the skin to provide emolliency. Alternatively, the phytolipid composition may be formulated in various aqueous or anhydrous cosmetic compositions such as creams, lotions, gels, ointments, lip balms, sticks, or pencils for treatment of the skin and lips. The phytolipid composition also may be incorporated into foods, beverages, and nutraceuticals to provide health benefits.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2008Publication date: April 9, 2009Applicant: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: George Chester Zima, Terry Ann Oldfield, Suzanne Winegar Dobbs, Phillip Michael Cook, Charles Everette Kelly, Mary Caraway Crow, Craig Alan Hoyme
