  • Patent number: 9024073
    Abstract: Provided are novel thio compounds and a method for preparing the same. More particularly, there is provided a novel thio compound prepared by reacting an alkylation product of p-cresol and dicyclopentadiene with mercaptan and paraformaldehyde. Unlike existing antioxidants such as 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) being harmful to the human body due to the high volatility, the novel thio compounds of the present invention, which have the low volatility because of their high molecular weight, give no harm to the human body. Further, with excellent performances, they are suitable to replace the existing antioxidants.

  • Patent number: 8283477
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing N-substituted maleimide in high purity and high yield, wherein, unlike a conventional method of preparing N-substituted maleimide after preparing N-substituted maleamic acid, an organic solvent, an acid catalyst, a dehydration co-catalyst and a stabilizer are added into a reactor without separately preparing N-substituted maleamic acid, and then a primary amine is added into the reactor to form an amine salt, maleic anhydride is added into the reactor, and the resulting mixture is subjected to a dehydration-cyclization reaction, wherein water produced during the reaction is azeotropically distilled with the organic solvent so as to effectively suppress formation of a maleimide polymer.
