Abstract: Organic chloroformate compounds are decomposed to their corresponding chlorides by heating the chloroformate, e.g., between 100.degree. and 175.degree. C., in the presence of a catalytic amount of solid poly(vinylpyridine), e.g., poly(4-vinylpyridine), for a time sufficient to convert the chloroformate to the corresponding chloride.

Abstract: Discloses a monomeric composition of a polyol(allyl carbonate) and a polyurethane having terminal acrylate functionality, and a polymer thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are tris(allyl carbonate) monomers and polymers made therefrom.

Abstract: Compositions of bis (allyl carbonate) of linear or branched alkylene glycols, unsaturated polyester resin, and unsaturated monomer, e.g., unsaturated esters and styrene, and polymerizates produced from such compositions are described. A particular embodiment described is the composition comprising 40 weight percent diethylene glycol bis (allyl carbonate), 50 weight percent poly(ethylene maleate adipate) and 10 weight percent of dimethyl maleate, and polymerizates prepared from such composition. Such polymerizates have good optical properties and are useful as lenses, e.g., ophthalmic lenses.

Abstract: Disclosed is the novel compound, N-(3-methyl-5-isothiazolyl)-2-methylpentanamide, which has herbicidal properties, particularly against broad leaf and grass weeds. It is usually formulated into an agricultural composition, optionally with 5-propionylamino-3-methylisothiazole.

Abstract: Disclosed is the novel compound, N-(3-methyl-5-isothiazolyl)-2-methylpentanamide, which has herbicidal properties, particularly against broad leaf and grass weeds. It is usually formulated into an agricultural composition, optionally with 5-propionylamino-3-methylissothiazole.

Abstract: A solid, frozen organic peroxide emulsion comprising from 30 to 75 weight percent organic peroxide, an emulsifying amount of surfactant(s) and the remainder water is described. Organic peroxides described include: dialkyl peroxydicarbonates, e.g., di-secondarybutyl peroxydicarbonate, diacyl peroxides, e.g., diisobutyryl peroxide, and acyl sulfonyl peroxides, e.g., acetylcyclohexylsulfonyl peroxide. The surfactant can be anionic, cationic, or nonionic, preferably nonionic, or mixtures of compatible surfactants.

Abstract: Weeds, particularly broadleaf weeds, are controlled by contacting them with a lethal dosage of 5-propionylamino-3-methylisothiazole.

Abstract: Abrasion-resistant vulcanizates are provided comprising a rubber, a finely-divided reinforcing siliceous pigment, a compound having a plurality of reactive amino groups, an aromatic hydroxy compound, and a methylene donor. Rubber additives are provided comprising a finely-divided siliceous pigment having adsorbed thereon at least one but not more than two of the group selected from a compound having a plurality of reactive amino groups, an aromatic hydroxy compound, and a methylene donor.
