US Patent:

42345057, Nov 18, 1980
Filed:

Oct 1, 1979
Appl. No.:

6/080954
Inventors:

James M. Photis - Ridgefield CT
Assignee:

Stauffer Chemical Company - Westport CT
International Classification:

C07C12138
C07C12146
C07C12175
US Classification:

260465D
Abstract:

Cyanohydrin esters are prepared by forming a mixture of an acyl cyanide, a carboxylic acid anhydride and an alkali metal borohydride and reacting the mixture at a temperature and for a time sufficient to form the cyanohydrin ester product of the acyl cyanide and carboxylic acid anhydride.

US Patent:

42347394, Nov 18, 1980
Filed:

Dec 5, 1978
Appl. No.:

5/966673
Inventors:

James M. Photis - Ridgefield CT
Fred S. Eiseman - Basking Ridge NJ
Sidney M. Gister - Highland Park NJ
Assignee:

Stauffer Chemical Company - Westport CT
International Classification:

C07C 6966
C07C 59153
US Classification:

560 51
Abstract:

Glyoxylic acids or derivatives thereof are prepared by reacting an acyl nitrile compound with concentrated sulfuric acid in the presence of halide anion to form a first reaction product and then further reacting the first reaction product with a compound of the general formula ROH to form the desired glyoxylic acid or glyoxylic acid derivative.

US Patent:

41806743, Dec 25, 1979
Filed:

Jul 18, 1977
Appl. No.:

5/816772
Inventors:

James M. Photis - Ridgefield CT
Assignee:

Stauffer Chemical Company - Westport CT
International Classification:

C07C 6978
US Classification:

560 52
Abstract:

Butyl-p-benzoylbenzoates are prepared by reacting a 4-(trichloromethyl) benzophenone with a butanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. These butyl-p-benzoylbenzoates are valuable photoinitiators for the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers.

US Patent:

43168590, Feb 23, 1982
Filed:

Mar 27, 1981
Appl. No.:

6/248103
Inventors:

James M. Photis - Ridgefield CT
Assignee:

Stauffer Chemical Company - Westport CT
International Classification:

C07F 928
US Classification:
