  • Publication number: 20050209399
    Abstract: A process for preparing polyester-polyurethane resin dispersions that includes: A) reacting one or more polyol components i) having an average molecular weight of at least 300, at least one of the components being a polyester polyol and the fraction of polyester polyol based on aromatic polycarboxylic acids being more than 50% by weight with a polyisocyanate to form a prepolymer, B) dissolving the prepolymer in an organic solvent; C) reacting the prepolymer with aliphatic polyamines having a molecular weight of 60 to 300 or hydrazine and a hydrophilicized aliphatic diamine, D) precipitating the product from C) by adding water to form a dispersion, and E) removing the organic solvent. The resulting polyester-polyurethane resin dispersions can be used in coating compositions and in coating systems that include a substrate and one or more coating films, at least one of which includes the polyester-polyurethane resin dispersion.

  • Patent number: 6489513
    Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of enantiomerically pure bis-diphenylphosphine oxides in a particularly advantageous manner by (1) reacting an aromatic bromine compound with a diphenylphosphinic chloride in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic hydrocarbon to give a diphenylphosphine oxide, which is isolated from a solution in an aromatic hydrocarbon by adding a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon; (2) metalating the resulting diphenylphosphine oxide in the 6-position and reacting the metalated diphenylphosphine oxide with iodine at temperatures not less than −25° C.

  • Patent number: 6316673
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of aminodiphenyl-amines resulting in good yields and high purity levels when aromatic amines are reacted with nitrohalobenzenes in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a base and the product thus obtained is subsequently hydrogenated with hydrogen.
