Abstract: A new series of compounds having the following formula is disclosed: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently aralkyl or alkyl with the proviso that the aralkyl group contains no branching on the carbon alpha to the phenylene group and the alkyl group contains no branching on the carbon alpha to the phenylene group but has at least one branch on the carbon beta to the phenylene group; R.sub.3 is hydroxy, --OR.sub.4 or ##STR2## R.sub.4, R.sub.5, and R.sub.6 are alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl, or alkaryl and R.sub.6 may additionally be hydrogen; said compounds are useful as antioxidants for polyolefins.

Abstract: A new series of compounds having the following formula is disclosed: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are alkyl with the proviso that the alkyl groups contain no branching on the carbon alpha to the phenylene group but have at least one branch on the carbon beta to the phenylene group, said compounds useful to stabilize organic materials normally tending to undergo oxidative deterioration.

Abstract: Liquid resinous condensation products are produced by contacting furan and formaldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst while maintaining an excess of furan during the contacting. The method produces liquid resinous condensation products which are useful as binders in the manufacture of composite articles, or as binder modifiers.
