Abstract
Abstract A catalyzed process for the preparation of monomeric and/or polymeric compounds such as esters, polyesters, ester-amides, and polyester-polyamides which result from the reaction of an imide and an alcohol in the presence of an amine or Group IVA, IB, IVB, VB, VIB, and VIII organometal compound, imide-alcohol condensation catalyst.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A catalyzed imide-alcohol condensation process for the preparation of polymeric compounds of polyester-polyamides comprising: contacting alcohols having one or more hydroxyl groups attached to an aliphatic carbon and acyl lactams, said contacting being in amounts of from about 10 to about 200 mole percent of the alcohol, in the presence of a catalyst selected from at least one of tertiary amines and a Group IVA, IB, IVB, VB, VIB, VII organometal compound selected from the group consisting of metal alkyls, metal phenols, metal amides, alkoxides, and glycoxides.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A catalyzed imide-alcohol condensation process for the preparation of polymeric compounds of polyester-polyamides comprising: contacting alcohols having one or more hydroxyl groups attached to an aliphatic carbon and acyl lactams, said contacting being in amounts of from about 10 to about 200 mole percent of the alcohol, in the presence of a catalyst selected from at least one of tertiary amines and a Group IVA, IB, IVB, VB, VIB, VII organometal compound selected from the group consisting of metal alkyls, metal phenols, metal amides, alkoxides, and glycoxides.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the catalyst is comprised of a Group IVA organometal compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
