Abstract
Octyl ethers and octadienyl ethers of glucose, sucrose, bisphenol A, 4-substituted-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidines are disclosed. Compositions comprised of a mixture of octyl ethers of glucose and sucrose and those containing octadienyl ethers of sugar acids and ring-opened epoxidized octadienyl ethers are also disclosed as are telomerization processes.
Claims9
A process for telomerizing 1,3-butadiene with a carboxylic acid which comprises reacting 1,3-butadiene and a carboxylic acid in the presence of a catalyst effective amount of a palladium (II)/tris-(aryl)phosphite catalyst in the presence of a secondary or tertiary alcohol.
