Abstract
Abstract A method for the preparation of soluble, fusible, aminomethyl diaryl compound resins in the absence of halomethylation or halomethylated materials, which method comprises (a) refluxing a mixture of diaryl compound, an aldehyde, a saturated monocarboxylic acid, and a small amount of a strong acid catalyst to form an aldehyde-diaryl resin, (b) stripping off excess monocarboxylic acid under vacuum, and then (c) adding at least about 1 mole of a primary or secondary amine containing at least one additional nontertiary amino group per reactive group on the aldehyde-diaryl resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A method for the preparation of aminomethyl diaryl compound resins in the absence of halomethylation or halomethylated materials which method consists of: (a) heating at a temperature of from about 75° C. to about reflux, a mixture consisting of an aldehyde, a diaryl compound, a saturated monocarboxylic acid having from about 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and a strong acid catalyst wherein the molar ratio of the diaryl compound:aldehyde ranges from about 1:1 to about 1:10, the molar ratio of diaryl compound:monocarboxylic acid ranges from about 1:1 to about 1:9, and the catalyst is employed in a molar ratio of the diaryl compound:catalyst from about 1:0.001 to about 1:0.3 to form an aldehyde-diaryl resin, having a molecular weight between about 1000 and 3000, (b) stripping off the excess monocarboxylic acid under vacuum, and then (c) adding at least about 1 mole of a primary or secondary amine containing at least one additional nontertiary amino group per reactive group on the aldehyde-diaryl resin to form a soluble, fusible resin.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
169 words
A method for the preparation of aminomethyl diaryl compound resins in the absence of halomethylation or halomethylated materials which method consists of: (a) heating at a temperature of from about 75° C. to about reflux, a mixture consisting of an aldehyde, a diaryl compound, a saturated monocarboxylic acid having from about 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and a strong acid catalyst wherein the molar ratio of the diaryl compound:aldehyde ranges from about 1:1 to about 1:10, the molar ratio of diaryl compound:monocarboxylic acid ranges from about 1:1 to about 1:9, and the catalyst is employed in a molar ratio of the diaryl compound:catalyst from about 1:0.001 to about 1:0.3 to form an aldehyde-diaryl resin, having a molecular weight between about 1000 and 3000, (b) stripping off the excess monocarboxylic acid under vacuum, and then (c) adding at least about 1 mole of a primary or secondary amine containing at least one additional nontertiary amino group per reactive group on the aldehyde-diaryl resin to form a soluble, fusible resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said diaryl compound is selected from the group consisting of diphenyl oxide, diphenyl sulfide, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene, the alkylated derivatives of these diaryl compounds wherein one or both aromatic rings are substituted by alkyl groups of 1-10 carbons, the halogenated derivatives of these diaryl compounds wherein the halogenation has occurred in one or both aromatic rings and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said aldehyde is selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, and butyraldehyde and those compounds which release formaldehyde or acetaldehyde at a temperature of greater than about 90° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
