Abstract
Abstract An epoxy resin containing acetoacetic ester groups in which at least a part of the acetoacetic ester groups is enolized by atoms of at least one metal from groups I to VI or Ia to Viiia of the Periodic Table according to Meyer and Mendelejeff which metal atoms are partially bound to the enolic oxygen of the acetoacetic ester group in the form of a chelate. A process for preparing said resins wherein an epoxy resin product containing acetoacetic ester groups is further reacted in the presence of a solvent (a) first with an alkali metal alcoholate and subsequently with at least one salt of at least one chelate-forming metal; or (b) with at least one chelate-forming metal in the presence of a tertiary amine or (c) for the preparation of an epoxy resin containing chemically bound atoms of at least one metal partially bound as a chelate an epoxy resin containing acetoacetic ester groups is further reacted in the presence of a solvent with an alcoholate of at least one chelate-forming metal.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A vicinal epoxy resin containing acetoacetic groups being bound to a carbon atom of at least one opened epoxy group in which at least a part of the acetoacetic ester groups is enolized by atoms of at least one metal from groups I to VI or Ia to VIIIa of the Periodic Table according to Meyer and Mendelejeff which metal atoms are partially bound to the enolic oxygen of the acetoacetic ester group of the vicinal epoxy resin in the form of a chelate, the remaining valencies of the metal atoms are bound to at least one radical selected from the group consisting of a. an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, b. an alkyl group having up to 8 carbon atoms and c. the enolic oxygen of a monomer compound also in the form of a chelate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A vicinal epoxy resin containing acetoacetic groups being bound to a carbon atom of at least one opened epoxy group in which at least a part of the acetoacetic ester groups is enolized by atoms of at least one metal from groups I to VI or Ia to VIIIa of the Periodic Table according to Meyer and Mendelejeff which metal atoms are partially bound to the enolic oxygen of the acetoacetic ester group of the vicinal epoxy resin in the form of a chelate, the remaining valencies of the metal atoms are bound to at least one radical selected from the group consisting of a. an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, b. an alkyl group having up to 8 carbon atoms and c. the enolic oxygen of a monomer compound also in the form of a chelate.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
120 words
A process for the preparation of a vicinal epoxy resin containing acetoacetic ester groups being bound to a carbon atom of at least one opened epoxy group and containing chemically bound metal atoms at least partially bound as a chelate wherein a vicinal epoxy resin product containing acetoacetic ester groups is further reacted in the presence of a strongly polar aprotic solvent having good solvent properties for metal salts and for vicinal epoxy resins first with an alkali metal alcoholate and subsequently with at least one salt of at least one chelate-forming metal; or (b) with at least one salt of at least one chelate-forming metal in the presence of a tertiary amine whose basicity is not more than 10.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
120 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words

Dependent Claim
28 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the tertiary amine is selected from the group consisting of dimethyliso-propyl amine, dimethyl-tert.-butyl amine, N, N-dimethyl aniline, tri-n-butylamine and triiso-propylamine.
