Abstract: Ammonium hydroxide is used in the recovery of a thiono compound prepared by reacting an organic carbonyl compound with phosphorus pentasulfide to improve the product yield.
Abstract: Bis(haloacylaromatic) compounds have been made by a new process in which monohaloacylated aromatic compounds have been reacted by a coupling reaction. These bis(haloacylaromatic) compounds can be employed as monomers in the preparation of polyesters and polyamides which have easy processability. The monohaloacylated compound is coupled by reacting two moles of the monomer with a carbon or sulfur compound containing at least two halogen atoms in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst.

Abstract: An organic carbonyl compound is thiated to the corresponding thiono compound by reacting it with phosphorus pentasulfide in the presence of an alkali metal bicarbonate and a hydrocarbon diluent. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the carbonyl compound is an amide, especially an aromatic amide, and the diluent is an inert hydrocarbon having a boiling point in the range of about 50.degree.-150.degree. C.
Abstract: Process for the preparation of Diels-Alder type adducts by reacting a compound with formula ##STR1## or the corresponding hydrated derivative, wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.4 are H or lower alkyl, R.sup.3 is lower alkyl, X is O,S, (O--CR.sup.5 R.sup.6 R.sup.7).sub.2 or ##STR2## wherein R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 an H or lower alkyl, n is 2-5 and Y is H, alkyl or alkenyl or Y and R.sup.2 together form an alkylene group which may contain one or more substituents, with a cyclopentadiene and/or an oligomer thereof in the presence of an aqueous solution of a strong proton donor having a conjugate with a low nucleophilicity.
Abstract: The invention includes novel alkali metal complex compounds (and processes for their preparation) which are useful, inter alia for the hydrogenation of alkali metals at room temperature or below room temperature to form hydrides or nitrides.
