Abstract: Described in this invention is a catalytic process for making amide acetals from nitrites and diethanolamines. Amide acetals can be further crosslinked by hydrolyzing the amide acetal groups, and subsequently reacting the hydroxyl groups and/or the amine functions that are formed, to crosslink the composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel norborane nitrile derivatives, and corresponding methods for making the same using hydrocyanation reactions.

Abstract: A composition that can be used as a component in auto clear coat and primer is disclosed. The composition comprises or is an alkoxylated amine having the formula of (A)[N(R1H)2]p including an isomer or mixture of isomers thereof. Also disclosed is a process, which comprises contacting an amine with an epoxide under a condition sufficient to produce an alkoxylated amine. Further disclosed is a composition that can be used as coating composition and primer, which comprises an alkoxylated amine and an organic polyisocyanate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel norbornane based cycloaliphatic methylene amine compounds, and methods for making the same using nitrile hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract: A process for preparing amide acetals represented in Formula I comprising dehydrating a reactant mixture comprising reactants selected from a group consisting of N-acyl dialkanol amines, O-acyl dialkanol amines and mixtures thereof wherein n and m are independently 2 or 3; p is 1, 2 or 3; R1 and R2 can be the same or different and are each independently hydrogen, a linear or branched alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl group with 1-20 C atoms; R represents hydrogen, a branched or linear alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or an alkenyl group with 1-20 C-atoms, each may have one or more substituents.

Abstract: Process for hydrocyanating a substrate selected from 2-, 3-, or 4- pentenenitrile and/or 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile or mixtures thereof by contacting the substrate with HCN in the presence of a zero-valent nickel catalyst and a promoter that is obtained as a byproduct of titanium ore chlorination.

Abstract: Polymeric compositions containing amide acetal groups are crosslinked by hydrolyzing the amide acetal groups, and the hydroxyl groups and/or the amines functions that are formed are reacted to crosslink the composition.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions of specific carboxylic acid, fatty acid or oil derivatives containing nitrile groups and methods of their preparation. The preparation involves a hydrocyanation reaction. A method of hydrgenating the nitrile containing carboxylic acid acids obtained by above hydrocyanation to produce amine containing carbixylic acids is also disclosed in this invention.
