Abstract
Abstract Novel (halo)(hydroxy)-substituted phosphorus-containing acid derivatives are disclosed. Preferred compounds are 2-halo-3-hydroxypropyl ester derivatives of phosphorus and phosphoric acid formed by reaction of at least some amount of tertiary butyl glycidyl ether with a halogenated derivative of a phosphorus-containing acid followed by acid dealkylation of the product. The polyol products are useful in the production of polyurethane articles such as foams having increased resistance to the effects of fire.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A polyurethane compound comprising the reaction product of a diisocyanate compound and an effective amount for flame retardancy of a substituted phosphorus-containing compound having a viscosity at 25° C. as measured by a Brookfield viscosity meter of less than 500,000 centipoise selected from the group consisting of: ##STR29## where X is halo; R is hydroxyl, halo or a moiety having up to 10 carbons selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, haloalkyl, haloaryl, alkoxy and haloalkoxy; R' is a divalent moiety having up to 10 carbons selected from alkylene, arylene, alkyl- or aryl-substituted derivatives thereof, and --(OCH 2 CHR"-- x , wherein R" is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or halomethyl, and x is 1, 2 or 3; m is zero or 1; and n is a number greater than or equal to zero and less than three that indicates the number of equivalents of specified moiety per mole of named compound.
