Abstract
Abstract Polymeric carbonate diols are prepared by coupling segments of copolyether glycols with a dialkyl carbonate, with a cyclic carbonate, or with phosgene. The carbonate diols are useful in preparing polyurethanes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
41 words
A polymeric carbonate diol made by coupling segments of a tetrahydrofuran/alkylene oxide copolymer with a dialkyl carbonate whose alkyl group contains 1-4 carbon atoms or phosgene, the diol having a number average molecular weight of 1200-12,000, as determined by hydroxyl number.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
41 words
A polymeric carbonate diol made by coupling segments of a tetrahydrofuran/alkylene oxide copolymer with a dialkyl carbonate whose alkyl group contains 1-4 carbon atoms or phosgene, the diol having a number average molecular weight of 1200-12,000, as determined by hydroxyl number.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The carbonate diol of claim 1 in which the alkylene oxide is ethylene oxide or a propylene oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A polyurethane which is the reaction product of (a) a polymeric carbonate diol of claim 1, (b) an organic polyisocyanate, and (c) a chain extender which is an aliphatic polyol or polyamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A polyurethane which is the reaction product of (a) a polymeric carbonate diol of claim 2, (b) an organic polyisocyanate, and (c) a chain extender which is an aliphatic polyol or polyamine.
