Abstract
Abstract Oxygen scavengers, especially for vinyl polymerizations, comprising an aldehyde or imine of the formula R.sub.3 Q.sub.n wherein n is 1-4; R 3 is an organic radical having a valence of 1-4 or hydrogen; Q is of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is 0 or NR 4 ; R 2 , R 2 , and R 4 are independently selected C 1-6 alkyl or aryl radicals or mixtures thereof are disclosed. A preferred composition is a mixture of aldehydes which are the reaction product of (a) ethylene urea, (b) formaldehyde, (c) isobutyraldehyde, and (d) 2-ethylhexanal in a molar ratio of (a):(b) of 1:2 and of (a) to the sum of (c) and (d) of 1:2.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
Composition comprising (A) an aldehyde or imine of the formula R.sub.3 Q.sub.n wherein n is 1-4; R 3 is an organic radical having a valence of 1-4; Q is of the formula ##STR14## wherein A is O or NR 4 ; R 1 , R 2 , and R 4 are independently selected from C 1-6 alkyl or aryl radicals or mixtures thereof; and (B) a transition metal ion selected from the group consisting of Co ++ , Cu ++ , and Mn ++ , wherein said composition has the characteristics of an oxygen scavenger in the polymerization of one or more vinyl unsaturated monomers, oligomers and/or polymers in the presence of oxygen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Composition comprising (A) an aldehyde or imine of the formula R.sub.3 Q.sub.n wherein n is 1-4; R 3 is an organic radical having a valence of 1-4; Q is of the formula ##STR14## wherein A is O or NR 4 ; R 1 , R 2 , and R 4 are independently selected from C 1-6 alkyl or aryl radicals or mixtures thereof; and (B) a transition metal ion selected from the group consisting of Co ++ , Cu ++ , and Mn ++ , wherein said composition has the characteristics of an oxygen scavenger in the polymerization of one or more vinyl unsaturated monomers, oligomers and/or polymers in the presence of oxygen.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
