Abstract: An anti-icing and biocidal fuel additive including an ethylene glycol monoalkyl ether such as 2-methoxyethanol, and at least one organoborate compound such as 2,2'-oxybis(4,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane)and 2,2'-(1-methyltrimethylenedioxy)bis-(4-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane) is provided.

Abstract: Discloses a solid electrolyte containing entrapped, mobile, ion transport means, which may either divide an electrolytic cell into two compartments or be immersed in a single electrolyte.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing para-aminophenol by the electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene in an acidic, aqueous reaction medium including a trialkylamine-N-oxide surfactant, such as dimethyldodecylamine-N-oxide, by electrolytic reduction at a cathode comprised of an amalgamated metal, and by electrolytic reduction under essentially anerobic or oxygen-free conditions in the catholyte.

Abstract: Discloses electro-organic synthesis utilizing a solid electrolyte, including cathodic reduction of organic compounds, i.e., co-production of chlorine and aniline.

Abstract: Discloses gas phase electro-organic synthesis utilizing a solid electrolyte, including anodic oxidation of olefins, and co-production of chlorine and aniline. Also discloses a solid polymer electrolyte having transition metal electrocatalyst bonded thereto by polydentate ligands.

Abstract: Discloses the electro-organic oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons to yield alcohols glycols, aldehydes, acids, carbonates and alkylene oxides.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing alpha-beta and beta-gamma unsaturated monocarboxylic acids having electron withdrawing, electrophilic substituents at the site of unsaturation. The acids are prepared by reacting metal salts of the unsaturated acids with strong mineral acids under substantially anhydrous conditions.

Abstract: Boron trichloride is prepared in substantially stoichiometric quantities by free-radical chlorination of borate ester, e.g., trimethyl borate, at temperatures of between about 20.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., more preferably between about 40.degree. C. and about 90.degree. C. The mole ratio of chlorine to borate ester is from about 5.5:1 to about 7.5:1. Reactor pressures are moderate, e.g., generally less than 3 atmospheres absolute. Atmospheric pressure can be used. An inert liquid organic solvent, e.g., carbon tetrachloride, can be used as the reaction medium. Gaseous reaction products are removed from the reactor during the chlorination reaction. In addition to boron trichloride, carbon monoxide (rather than phosgene) and hydrogen chloride are the principal products of the chlorination reaction. Phosgene is produced in substantially lower amounts than when chlorination is conducted at autogeneous pressures and the chlorine:trimethyl borate mole ratio is 9:1 or more.
