Polyol esters of alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids are disclosed which are excellent oil-in-water emulsifiers for food products, drug delivery vehicles, cosmetic ointments and the like. The compounds are also useful as detergent surfactants and can be combined with cosurfactants, builders and detergent adjunct materials.

Polyol esters of alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids

Alkyl nitriles in combination with alkali metal hydroxides provide super bases which are useful in various chemical processes.

Base reactant

Soaps with low water content are prepared in an alkyl nitrile reaction medium and used to adjust the total water content of an aqueous crutcher mix to an intermediate moisture level without heat input.

Energy saving detergent manufacture

Alkali metal salts of organic acids are prepared by saponifying the corresponding organic acid ester with an alkali metal hydroxide in a liquid reaction medium comprising a substantially water-free alkyl nitrile.

Soap making

Pesticidal and anti-inflammatory cyclopropyl compounds, cyclopropyl intermediates for the preparation of pesticidal compounds, especially chrysanthemic acid-like intermediates, and a process for preparing same.

Process for the preparation of cyclopropylcarinyl alcohols

Preparation of chrysanthemic acid compounds

Sodium and lithium salts of organic carboxylic acids are prepared by saponifying the corresponding organic carboxylic acid ester with a concentrated aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide in a liquid reaction medium comprising an alkyl nitrile, separating said salts from the reaction mixture, and removing excess alkyl nitrile from the salts.

Hydrated soap making

Process for preparing substituted cyclopropycarbinyl compounds

Disclosed are novel organotin compounds and a process for preparing same. These organotin compounds correspond to the general formula:

Novel organotin herbicidal compounds

Compositions and processes for preventing marine fouling and preserving wool employing certain (organothiomethyl)-triorganotin, (organosulfonylmethyl)triorganotin and (N,N-disubstituted aminomethyl)triorganotin compounds.

Protective coatings

Process for producing cyclopropyl substituted organosulfides

Novel organotin-substituted cyclic sulfone compounds of the general formula: ##SPC1## Where each R is alkyl of from 1 to about 14 carbon atoms, or aryl and each R' is alkyl of from 1 to about 14 carbon atoms, aryl or hydrogen, and a process for preparing same. These organotin compounds have insecticidal, acaricidal, bacteriostatic, fungicidal and herbicidal properties.

Novel organotin compounds

Disclosed are novel organotin compounds and a process for preparing same. These organotin compounds correspond to the general formula: ##EQU1## where A is alkyl of from 1 to 14 carbon atoms; aryl; substituted aryl; or R.sub.2 N-, where each R is alkyl of from 1 to 14 carbon atoms; and each R' is alkyl of from 1 to 14 carbon atoms; or aryl. The organotin compounds of the invention having insecticidal, acaricidal, bacteriostatic, fungicidal and herbicidal properties are employed in the formulation of pesticidal compositions.

Organotin compounds as herbicides

Disclosed are novel(organosulfinylmethyl) triorganotin compounds and a process for preparing same. These organotin compounds correspond to the general formula: ##EQU1## where R is a 1 to 14 carbon atom alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl group and each R' is an alkyl group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms. The organotin compounds of the invention have insecticidal, acaricidal and herbicidal properties and are employed in the formulation of pesticidal compositions effective for combating these pests.
