  • Patent number: 6362362
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for manufacturing polyol complex esters. According to the method, a polyol, such as BEPD or NPG, is reacted with mono- and polyvalent acids in the presence of a catalyst to produce a reaction blend containing complex esters. According to the invention the acid components of the reaction blend are neutralized with a tertiary amine, and the complex esters are recovered from the thus treated reaction blend. The basic amines that are used form salt-like compounds with the carboxylic acids. The compounds enter the aqueous phase, from which they are easily separated, whereby the complex esters are recovered with high yield.

  • Patent number: 5763642
    Abstract: Esterification of an ultra-low unsaturation polyoxy(higher)alkylene polyol with a dicarboxylic acid or reactive derivative thereof to form a poly(half ester) followed by capping the poly(half ester) with a capping agent capable of forming an amide linkage or ester linkage while retaining primary hydroxyl functionality, generates high primary hydroxyl content polyols with substantially retained hydrophile/lipophile balance and low polydispersity. Low color products having primary hydroxyl contents in excess of 80 equivalent percent may be routinely achieved.
