Abstract: The present invention provides compounds having both a pendent ether group and a pendent ester group that are useful as plasticizers for polymer resin and methods of making and using the same. In one embodiment of the invention, compounds according to the invention are formed by converting at least one, but not all, of the hydroxyl groups of a polyol having three or more hydroxyl groups (e.g., gylcerol, pentaerythritol or dipentaerythritol) to a pendent ether group to form a partially-etherized intermediate, and then converting at least one of the remaining hydroxyl groups in the partially-etherized intermediate to a pendent ester group.

Abstract: The present invention provides a phthalate-free plasticizer for polymer resins. The phthalate-free plasticizer according to the invention includes a mixture of different triesters of glycerin, at least one of which meets the formula: CH2(OOR1)CH(OOR2)CH2(OOR3) wherein at least two of R1, R2, and R3 are different alkyl or aryl groups. Phthalate-free plasticizers according to the invention can be made by esterifying glycerin with a mixture of acids in the presence of a catalyst. Preferably, the mixture of acids includes at least two selected from the group consisting of alkyl acids and aryl acids, with each acid in the mixture containing up to about 11 carbon atoms, and more preferably from about 4 to about 9 carbon atoms each. The plasticizer according to the invention can be used to modify the properties of a wide variety of polymers including vinyl polymers, rubbers, polyurethanes, and acrylics, and has superb thermostability and low volatility.

Abstract: Organic compounds having active hydrogen are separated from heterogeneous mixtures of organic compounds, such as tar, which also contain organic compounds which do not have active hydrogen. The method involves preferential conversion of the active hydrogen compounds to soluble compounds by reaction with a reagent which is an alkene oxide or ethyleneimine, introducing a solvent for the soluble compounds whereby two phases are formed, and then separating the phases.
