Abstract:

A process for making mixed dialkylmagnesiums wherein magnesium metal is reacted with ethylene and an alkyl halide in the presence of a hydrocarbon solvent and in a substantially moisture-free and ether-free atmosphere, under relatively high pressure and at a relatively high temperature followed by separation of undissolved solids from the resulting solution. A composition of matter produced by the process comprising dialkylmagnesium compounds having at least four different alkyl groups, a hydrocarbon solvent and a small amount of an alkyl or alkoxy aluminum compound.

International Classification:

C07F 506

US Classification:

556190

Abstract:

Linear 1-olefins are prepared from internal olefins by (i) reacting them in the presence of an isomerization catalyst and a tri-lower alkyl aluminum so as to cause internal olefin to isomerize to 1-olefins which displace the lower alkyl groups to form a trialkyl aluminum compound in which at least one of the alkyl groups is a linear alkyl derived from the 1-olefin, and, thereafter, (ii) reacting the trialkyl aluminum compound with a 1-olefin so as to displace the linear alkyl from the trialkyl aluminum compound, thereby forming a linear 1-olefin product which is substantially free of internal olefins.

C07F 302

US Classification:

260665R

Abstract:

A composition of matter comprising di-isoamylmagnesium and diethylmagnesium, with an isoamyl: ethyl alkyl group ratio of about 1. 4 to about 4:1, which is soluble in aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents is disclosed, as is a process for making such mixed dialkylmagnesium wherein magnesium metal is reacted with an ethyl halide and an isoamyl halide in the presence of the hydrocarbon solvent and in a substantially moisture-free and ether-free atmosphere, followed by separation of undissolved solids from the resulting solution.

US Classification:

252180

Abstract:

To obviate eutrophication of lakes, streams, etc. , non-phosphorus highly biodegradable builders and sequestrants are provided for household and industrial use. These builders and sequestrants are either (1) a cis-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran in which the substituents are carboxy or carboxymethyl groups, (2) water soluble salts of such tetrahydrofurans, or (3) mixtures of (1) and (2). Conventional detergent actives may also be utilized in combination with the builders or sequestrants of this invention.

Abstract:

Adducts containing a six-membered olefinically unsaturated ring having a halogen atom on one of the ethylenic carbon atoms (e. g. , 3,5-diketo-4,8-dioxa-12-chlorotricyclo[5. 3. 2. sup. 2,6 ]-dodec-11-ene) are formed by heating a dienophile (e. g. , maleic anhydride) with a gem-dihalocyclopropane which has at least 4 carbon atoms in the molecule and at least one hydrogen on a carbon atom singly bonded to the cyclopropane ring (e. g. , 7,7-dichloro-2-oxabicyclo[4. 1. 0] heptane). The adducts have toxicological properties and thus may be used as insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, herbicides, miticides and the like. They are also useful in the manufacture of plasticizers, flameproofing agents, water mark detecting agents, waterproofing agents, degreasing solvents, surface active agents, and the like.
