Cure accelerators for anaerobic curable compositions

Abstract

The present invention relates to cure accelerators useful for anaerobic curable compositions, such as adhesives and sealants. The cure accelerators are embraced within where X is CH2, O, S, NR4, CR5R6 or C═O, wherein R4, R5, and R6 are each individually selected from hydrogen, halogen, amino, carboxyl, nitro, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkenyl, hydroxyalkynyl, or alkaryl; R is one or more of hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynl, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkenyl, or hydroxyalkynl; R1, R2, and R3 are each individually selected from hydrogen, halogen, amino, carboxyl, nitro, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkenyl, hydroxyalkynyl, or alkaryl; R7 is hydrogen or CHR8R9, where R8 and R9 are each individually selected from hydrogen, halogen, amino, carboxyl, nitro, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkenyl, hydroxyalkynyl, or alkaryl; and n is 0 or 1. A particularly desirable example is 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo-h-quinolin-3-ol.
