Abstract: Disclosed are novel colorant compounds which contain one or more ethylenically-unsaturated (vinyl), photopolymerizable radicals which may be copolymewrized (or cured) with ethylenically-unsaturated monomers to produce colored compositions such as colored acrylic coatings and polymers, e.g., coatings and polymers produced from acrylate and methacrylate esters, colored polystyrenes, and similar colored polymeric materials derived from other ethylenically-unsaturated monomers. The present invention also pertains to processes for the preparation of certain of the photopolymerizable colorant compounds.

Abstract: Hydrogen peroxide is produced by oxidizing alkylammonium salts of sulfonic acid-substituted anthrahydroquinones. As said salts are highly soluble in protic polar solvents such as water and lower aliphatic alcohols, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the reaction product thereby obtained may be advantageously high. The anthraquinone salt co-product generated by such oxidation may be readily converted in high yield back to the starting anthrahydroquinone salt by hydrogenation.
