Abstract: A method for making an amine includes the steps of heating a reaction mixture including a nitrile, an acid, water and a substrate compound capable of generating a carbonium ion by reaction with the acid to generate a first reaction intermediate; treating the first reaction intermediate with an acid in the presence of a primary alkanol to form a second reaction intermediate and an alkyl ester; separating the alkyl ester from the second reaction intermediate; and treating the second reaction intermediate with a base to form the amine.

Abstract: A method for removing hydrogen cyanide from a hydrogen cyanide-contaminated organic liquid includes the steps of contacting the hydrogen cyanide-contaminated organic liquid with a metal alkoxide to generate a metal cyanide salt and an alkanol and then separating the organic liquid from the metal cyanide salt and the alkanol.

Abstract: Polymeric adsorbents exhibiting improved porosity and adsorption are produced from lightly crosslinked macroreticular aromatic copolymer beads by post-crosslinking the copolymer beads while in a swollen state, the crosslinks resulting from the post-crosslinking comprising the residue of an external crosslinker selected from a polyfunctional alkylating agent, a polyfunctional acylating agent, and a sulfur halide. An acid catalyst is used for the post-crosslinking, such as a Friedel-Crafts catalyst. The adsorbents may be functionalized to ion exchange resins.
