Patent number: 4513109Abstract: The invention relates to phenols which contain a number of aromatic nuclei and in which the bridge formation of these nuclei is in the meta-position to the OH groups. These phenols have the formula I, wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are as defined in claim 1.The novel phenols are most suitable for use as stabilizers for organic polymers and lubricants and have particularly good color properties.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1984Date of Patent: April 23, 1985Assignee: Ciba-Geigy CorporationInventor: Siegfried Rosenberger

Patent number: 4495353Abstract: The invention relates to a process for substituting for a halogen atom attached to the nuclear carbon atom of an aromatic ring, a substituent of the formula -O-R wherein R represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or benzyl, which process comprises reacting the halogen-substituted aromatic compound with an alcoholate of the formula M.sup.n+ [O--R].sub.n.sup..crclbar. wherein M is an alkali metal atom or alkaline earth metal atom, n is the valency of M, and R is as defined above, in the presence of an active catalyst mixture comprising (i) a formic acid ester of an organic alcohol having the formula R.sup.2 --O--CO--H wherein R.sup.2 is as defined for R above; and (ii) a cuprous salt; in a liquid medium which is a solvent for the catalyst mixture and in which the halogen-substituted aromatic compound is at least partially soluble, under substantially anhydrous conditions and a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The invention further relates to a catalyst used in the above process.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1983Date of Patent: January 22, 1985Assignee: Sterling Drug Inc.Inventor: Robert J. Bryant

Patent number: 4486611Abstract: A process for the isolation of a dihydroxybenzene-monoether from a reaction mixture containing solvent, ether and unreacted dihydroxybenzene, comprising contacting the reaction mixture with at least one hydrocarbon which is not miscible or only partially miscible with the reaction mixture, the ether selectively entering the hydrocarbon. Advantageously the reaction for the preparation of the monoether is carried out in an alcohol, a ketone, a dipolar aprotic solvent or a polyhydroxyalkyl ether, or a mixture thereof with water, the hydrocarbon used as extracting agent has a boiling point between about 80.degree. and 300.degree. C., and the extraction is carried out in the presence of water whereby there is an increase in the selectivity of the extraction.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1982Date of Patent: December 4, 1984Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Manfred Lenthe, Udo Allenbach, Gerhard Buttner, Karl-Friedrich Christmann
