Phosphite mixed

Following a comparison of the behaviours of trialkyl phosphites, mixed alkyl phenyl phosphites and triphenyl phosphite towards iodomethane and, in the last case, the breakdown of the phosphonium salt when treated with an alcohol, Landauer and Rydon considered that all the reactions involve a stage identical with that of the normal Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction. The absence of any rearrangement during the decomposition of complexes from neopentyl phosphites, and the configurational inversion which occurs when optically active 2-halooctanes are produced from optically active phosphite triesters (themselves obtained from optically active octan-2-ol), suggest that the mode of breakdown of the intermediate complexes is of S 2 character. 

Cost bilizers. In most cases the alkyl tin stabilizets ate particularly efficient heat stabilizers for PVC without the addition of costabilizers. Many of the traditional coadditives, such as antioxidants, epoxy compounds, and phosphites, used with the mixed metal stabilizer systems, afford only minimal benefits when used with the alkyl tin mercaptides. Mercaptans are quite effective costabilizets for some of the alkyl tin mercaptides, particularly those based on mercaptoethyl ester technology (23). Combinations of mercaptan and alkyl tin mercaptide ate currendy the most efficient stabilizers for PVC extmsion processes. The level of tin metal in the stabilizer composition can be reduced by up to 50% while maintaining equivalent performance. Figure 2 shows the two-roU mill performance of some methyl tin stabilizers in a PVC pipe formulation as a function of the tin content and the mercaptide groups at 200°C. 

Typically, soHd stabilizers utilize natural saturated fatty acid ligands with chain lengths of Cg—C g. Ziac stearate [557-05-1/, ziac neodecanoate [27253-29-8] calcium stearate [1592-23-0] barium stearate [6865-35-6] and cadmium laurate [2605-44-9] are some examples. To complete the package, the soHd products also contain other soHd additives such as polyols, antioxidants, and lubricants. Liquid stabilizers can make use of metal soaps of oleic acid, tall oil acids, 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, octylphenol, and nonylphenol. Barium bis(nonylphenate) [41157-58-8] ziac 2-ethyIhexanoate [136-53-8], cadmium 2-ethyIhexanoate [2420-98-6], and overbased barium tallate [68855-79-8] are normally used ia the Hquid formulations along with solubilizers such as plasticizers, phosphites, and/or epoxidized oils. The majority of the Hquid barium—cadmium formulations rely on barium nonylphenate as the source of that metal. There are even some mixed metal stabilizers suppHed as pastes. The U.S. FDA approved calcium—zinc stabilizers are good examples because they contain a mixture of calcium stearate and ziac stearate suspended ia epoxidized soya oil. Table 4 shows examples of typical mixed metal stabilizers. 

Phosphites. Tertiary phosphites are also commonly used and are particularly effective ia most mixed metal stabilizers at a use level of 0.25—1.0 phr. They can take part ia a number of different reactions duting PVC processing they can react with HCl, displace activated chlorine atoms on the polymer, provide antioxidant functionaHty, and coordinate with the metals to alter the Lewis acidity of the chloride salts. Typical examples of phosphites are triphenyl phosphite [101 -02-0], diphenyl decyl phosphite [3287-06-7], tridecyl phosphite [2929-86-4], and polyphosphites made by reaction of PCl with polyols and capping alcohols. The phosphites are often included in commercial stabilizer packages. 

The basic metal salts and soaps tend to be less cosdy than the alkyl tin stabilizers for example, in the United States, the market price in 1993 for calcium stearate was about 1.30— 1.60, zinc stearate was 1.70— 2.00, and barium stearate was 2.40— 2.80/kg. Not all of the coadditives are necessary in every PVC compound. Typically, commercial mixed metal stabilizers contain most of the necessary coadditives and usually an epoxy compound and a phosphite are the only additional products that may be added by the processor. The requited costabilizers, however, significantly add to the stabilization costs. Typical phosphites, used in most flexible PVC formulations, are sold for 4.00— 7.50/kg. Typical antioxidants are bisphenol A, selling at 2.00/kg Nnonylphenol at 1.25/kg and BHT at 3.50/kg, respectively. Pricing for ESO is about 2.00— 2.50/kg. Polyols, such as pentaerythritol, used with the barium—cadmium systems, sells at 2.00, whereas the derivative dipentaerythritol costs over three times as much. The P-diketones and specialized dihydropyridines, which are powerful costabilizers for calcium—zinc and barium—zinc systems, are very cosdy. These additives are 10.00 and 20.00/kg, respectively, contributing significantly to the overall stabilizer costs. Hydrotalcites are sold for about 5.00— 7.00/kg. 

Bisphosphites such as (7) combine excellent reactivity, straight-chain selectivity, and high resistance to the typical phosphite degradation reactions (29). Further, the corresponding 0x0 catalysts are excellent olefin isomerization catalysts so that high normal-to-branched isomer ratios are obtained even from internal olefins, enabling, in certain instances, the use of inexpensive mixed isomer olefin feedstocks. 

Organophosphoms compounds, primarily phosphonic acids, are used as sequestrants, scale inhibitors, deflocculants, or ion-control agents in oil wells, cooling-tower waters, and boiler-feed waters. Organophosphates are also used as plasticizers and flame retardants in plastics and elastomers, which accounted for 22% of PCl consumed. Phosphites, in conjunction with Hquid mixed metals, such as calcium—zinc and barium—cadmium heat stabilizers, function as antioxidants and stabilizer adjutants. In 1992, such phosphoms-based chemicals amounted to slightly more than 6% of all such plastic additives and represented 8500 t of phosphoms. Because PVC production is expected to increase, the use of phosphoms additive should increase 3% aimually through 1999. 

Because nitrile rubber is an unsaturated copolymer it is sensitive to oxidative attack and addition of an antioxidant is necessary. The most common practice is to add an emulsion or dispersion of antioxidant or stabilizer to the latex before coagulation. This is sometimes done batchwise to the latex in the blend tank, and sometimes is added continuously to the latex as it is pumped toward further processing. PhenoHc, amine, and organic phosphite materials are used. Examples are di-Z fZ-butylcatechol, octylated diphenylamine, and tris(nonylphenyl) phosphite [26523-78-4]. All are meant to protect the product from oxidation during drying at elevated temperature and during storage until final use. Most mbber processors add additional antioxidant to their compounds when the NBR is mixed with fillers and curatives in order to extend the life of the final mbber part.

Olefins obtained from petroleum cracking gave mixed dipropylalkylphos-phonates when heated in a similar manner with dipropyl phosphite in the presence of di-r-butyl peroxide for 16 h at 130°C. 

An interesting variation of this reaction that made use of a three-component, one-pot solventless procedure with the corresponding trialkyl phosphites gave dramatically improved yields of many heterosubstituted glyphosate phosphonate diesters (37). When exactly one equivalent of water, 25, and tris-p-chloroethyl phosphite were mixed and heated under neat conditions for a few hours, nearly quantitative yields of displaced p-chloroethanol and the desired triester product 27 were obtained. If desired, the displaced alcohol was first removed by vacuum distillation, or the mixture could be hydrolyzed directly to GLYH3. Various oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, cyano, and carboxylate functionalities were similarly accommodated in the trialkyl phosphite. 

The value of using the preformed HHT with diphenyl phosphite in this procedure was readily apparent from the nearly quantitative conversion to glyphosate observed from 25. A much lower yield (38%) of glyphosate was obtained after hydrolysis when the same components (ethyl glycinate hydrochloride and formaldehyde) were mixed and heated with neat triphenyl phosphite to give triester 30 (43). 

A simple, high-yield procedure for the conversion of ArTlXj into ArjTlX compounds has recently been described 90). This symmetrization reaction, the mechanism of which is not known, can be effected by treatment of the ArTlX2 compound either with triethyl phosphite or with hot aqueous acetone. As a wide variety of ArTlXj compounds can now be easily prepared by electrophilic thallation of aromatic substrates with thallium(III) trifluoroacetate (q. v.), symmetrization represents the method of choice for the preparation of the majority of ArjTlX compounds. Only about twenty mixed compounds, RR TIX, have been prepared so far, and the only general synthetic procedure available consists of a disproportionation reaction between an RTIX2 species and another organometallic reagent [e.g., Eqs. (5)-(7)]. 

Cazin and co-workers recently reported on the use of the well-defined dimer complexes [Pd( a-C1)(C1)(NHC)]2 that are commercially available, and perform exceedingly well in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction involving aryl chlorides [108]. The Cazin group has also recently disclosed well-defined mixed NHC/phosphite palladium systems of the type [PdCl2(NHC) P(OR)3j], enabling the Suzuki-Miyaura of aryl chlorides at 0.1 mol% Pd loading [109]. 

The Mitsunobu conditions also can be used to effect a variety of other important and useful nucleophilic substitution reactions, such as conversion of alcohols to mixed phosphite esters.56 The active phosphitylating agent is believed to be a mixed phospho-ramidite. 

Nagoumey and Madan [20] have considered both AAS and ICP-AES as reliable measurement techniques for the determination of metal components in mixed-metal/phosphite stabiliser systems in PVC. For reasons given elsewhere (Section 8.3.2.4), in this case ICP-AES was considered the technique of choice for most metal stabiliser determinations, while AAS remains a useful method to corroborate the ICP-AES results. For the determination of tin in rigid PVC by means of HG-AAS, the main effort has been to develop a sample digestion procedure [118]. Tin and Ti from a PVC potable...
