  • Patent number: 7262312
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of organoalkoxysilanes containing one or more organic functional groups derived from organic acids or hydrogen cyanates, by a continuous or batch process utilizing a solid guanidinium salt as a phase transfer catalyst for the reaction between a liquid phase haloalkylalkoxysilane and a solid phase alkali or alkaline earth metal salt or ammonium salt of an organic acid or a metal cyanate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 29, 2005
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2007
    Inventors: Robert E. Sheridan, Larry A. Divins, Michael R. Powell
  • Patent number: 7060849
    Abstract: A process is provided for the production of isocyanatosilane from silylorganocarbamate by neutralizing the basic catalyst with an acid to provide an inert metal halide salt, and subjecting the reaction mixture to cracking reaction conditions to obtain isocyanatosilane.

    Applicant: CROMPTON CORPORATION, a corporation of the State of Delaware
    Inventors: Robert E. Sheridan, Kenneth W. Hartman
  • Patent number: 6475347
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds of the structure wherein R1, R2, and R3 are organic radicals of C1 to C20, such that the combination of the three contain at least twelve carbon atoms and R3 is bound to the methylene carbon atom between X and the aromatic ring by at least one saturated carbon atom, allowing it to be easily separated from the polymerizable monomer by distillation; R1 and R2 have sufficient steric bulk to protect the phenol from reacting with an alkoxy group or halogen bound to silicon; and X is a neutral heteroatomic radical of oxygen, nitrogen, or phosphorus; and their use as inhibitors for the polymerization of (meth)acryloxysilanes.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 5, 2002
    Assignee: Crompton Corporation
    Inventors: Robert E. Sheridan, Kenneth W. Hartman
  • Patent number: 6008396
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for making isocyanatoorganosilane by adding a carbamatoorganosilane of the general formula to an inert liquid medium and holding the mixture thus formed at a temperature and pressure effective to convert said carbamatoorganosilane to isocyanatoorganosilane.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 28, 1999
    Assignee: OSI Specialties, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert E. Sheridan, Kenneth W. Hartman
  • Patent number: 5939574
    Abstract: Aminosiloxanes bearing 4-amino-3,3-dialkylbutyl substituents are prepared by a multistep process including addition of 2,2-dialkylacetonitrile to vinylic siloxanes, hydrogenation of the nitrile adducts so formed to yield 4-amino-3,3-dialkylbutyl siloxanes, and optional equilibration of the latter with other siloxane sources, to form aminosiloxanes, which are useful for the treatment of textiles and fabrics and for the preparation of siloxane-containing block copolymers.
