International Classification:
C07D41712
US Classification:
548158
Abstract:
There is disclosed a preparation of (optionally substituted) 2,2'-dithiobis(benzothiazole) by the oxidation of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole using bromate salts as the oxidant in an acidified aqueous reaction medium. The process of this invention provides an efficient and practical step in a procedure for the production of 2,2'-dithiobis(benzothiazole) that is virtually pollution free.

International Classification:
C08F 808
US Classification:
525360
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of epoxidized synthetic cis-1,4-polyisoprene. The process involves reacting the synthetic cis-1,4-polyisoprene in a C. sub. 5 -C. sub. 7 aliphatic hydrocarbon with tertiary butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of a molybdenum catalyst at a reaction temperature ranging from about 20. degree. C. to about 100. degree. C. The molybdenum catalyst is prepared by reacting together under a N. sub. 2 atmosphere molybdenum pentachloride with a carboxylic acid of the formula: CH. sub. 3 (CH. sub. 2). sub. n COOH wherein n is an integer ranging from 8 to 28. The molar ratio of molybdenum pentachloride to the carboxylic acid ranges from about 1:1 to 1:3.
