Abstract
Abstract Improved products and reaction conditions for preparing the same result from the reaction at elevated temperatures using a combination of a trisubstituted phosphine and a soluble chromium compound as catalyst for reacting a polyepoxide with carboxylic acids composed essentially of a dicarboxylic acid, an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and, optionally, a saturated monocarboxylic acid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
In the process for preparing a curable resin composition by the catalytic induced simultaneous reaction of a polyglycidyl ether and carboxylic acids consisting essentially of at least one dicarboxylic acid and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, all of stated ingredients being in stoichiometric equivalency of epoxy to carboxyl groups, the improvement wherein said reaction mixture is heated to an elevated temperature in contact with a catalyst composed of about 0.2 to 0.5 mole of triphenyl phosphine and about 0.2 to 0.5 mole chromium triacetate per equivalent of polyglycidyl ether until reaction is substantially complete.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
In the process for preparing a curable resin composition by the catalytic induced simultaneous reaction of a polyglycidyl ether and carboxylic acids consisting essentially of at least one dicarboxylic acid and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, all of stated ingredients being in stoichiometric equivalency of epoxy to carboxyl groups, the improvement wherein said reaction mixture is heated to an elevated temperature in contact with a catalyst composed of about 0.2 to 0.5 mole of triphenyl phosphine and about 0.2 to 0.5 mole chromium triacetate per equivalent of polyglycidyl ether until reaction is substantially complete.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said reaction mixture is heated to a temperature of from 80 to 120° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said reaction mixture is composed of 0.5 to 0.9 mole dicarboxylic acid and 1.0 to 0.2 mole ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid for each mole of a diepoxide.
