  • Surfactant-promoted aldol reactions
    Patent number: 4215076
    Abstract: Chemical control of aldol reactions has been achieved by employing a combination of inorganic base-cationic or neutral surfactant catalysts with organic carbonyl compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 23, 1976
    Date of Patent: July 29, 1980
    Assignee: Union Carbide Corporation
    Inventors: Kenneth C. Stueben, Mary L. Deem
  • Cumene oxidation using 'onium catalysts
    Patent number: 4192952
    Abstract: Substituted ammonium halides are used as catalysts for the oxidation of cumene to cumene hydroperoxide. Their use significantly increases the rate of oxidation and overcomes the effects of phenol contamination.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 8, 1978
    Date of Patent: March 11, 1980
    Assignee: Union Carbide Corporation
    Inventor: Kenneth C. Stueben
  • Radiation curable pressure sensitive adhesive compositions
    Patent number: 4165266
    Abstract: Compositions comprising poly (vinyl alkyl ether), a liquid monoacrylate monomer and photoinitiator cure upon exposure to radiation to form pressure sensitive adhesives having an excellent balance of peel strength, shear time, and quick stick.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 30, 1977
    Date of Patent: August 21, 1979
