Two of the first commercially successful compounds of this type are Vircol 82, developed by Virginia-Carolina Corp, now part of Albright and Wilson Co. (1), and Fyrol 6, developed by Victor Chemical Works, now part of Akzo Chemicals Inc. (2). Simplified portrayals of the syntheses and compositions of these two products are illustrated in Fig. 1. 

After completing his studies, Arthur Toy started his professional career in the laboratory of Victor Chemical Works in Chicago... 

Heists. Dr. Toy socm became a group leader, was then promoted to director of organic research, associate director of research, and in 1963 became director of research at Victor Chemical Works. 

Seme years after the acquisiticn of Victor Chemical Works, Stauffer combined the Victor research with a section of its own research in the Eastern Research Center in the New York area. As Stauffer wanted to retain Arthur s scientific expertise and experience for the company, he was offered a sabbatical year as a visiting scientist under Professor Harry Julius Emeleus in Cambridge, and could then rejoin the Stauffer team as a Senior Scientist. 

Starting in the 40 s. Dr. Toy and his co-workers at Victor Chemical Works began to develop flame-proof p lymers and later flame retardants for fibers like cotton and cellulose, based on cptionally partly brominated diallyl pho honates. (Figure 12) (20). A well known compound from this series, introduced as "Ihoresins", is diallyl cyanoethylphosphonate (21). Other flame retardants for rayon have been similarly established. 

At that particular period, Victor Chemical Works was making a transition from manufacturing phosphoric acid from phosphorus produced by the blast furnace to phosphorus produced by the electric furnace. The blast furnace phosphoric acid was less pure. It contained the above elements as impurities. The unsatisfactory material was made from the more pure electric furnace acid. So they solved the problem by adding the impurities to the "pure electric furnace acid. After that the addition of some of the impurities became part of the process. 

When I started working at Victor Chemical Works in 1942, my boss. Dr. Howard Adler, wanted me to look into the possibility of making some phosphorus-containing polymers. It is known that organic phosphorus compounds have flame retarding properties. To put things in the proper historical perspective, at that time vinyl polymers and nylon were relatively new commercial products. (Polymers such as the ethylene terephthalate polyesters and polycarbonate were not introduced to the market place until many years later.)...
