The present invention relates to a method for preparing a tank mix, which comprises the step of contacting a pesticide formulation, water, and a tank mix adjuvant which comprises a carbonate of the formula (I); to a pesticide formulation comprising the tank mix adjuvant; to a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired vegetation and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the tank mix or the pesticide formulation is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or the plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or the crop plants and/or their environment; and to a use of the tank mix adjuvant for increasing the efficacyl of a pesticide.

Agrochemical adjuvant containing 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4 carboxylates

An improved process is proposed for preparing cyclocarbonate-functionalized compounds of the general formula (I) where Rand Rin each occurrence are independently selected from hydrogen, methyl and ethyl, l in each occurrence independently is from 2 to 50, m in each occurrence independently is 0 or 1, and n is =3, subject to the proviso that the sum of all l values in the molecule is from 5 to 100, by reacting a chloroformate of formula (II) with a trifunctional amine of the general formula (III) characterized in that the reacting is carried out in an aqueous/organic two-phase system in the presence of an auxiliary base and of a phase transfer catalyst.

Preparing cyclocarbonate-functionalized compounds

A water-dispersible, cyclocarbonate-functionalized vinyl copolymer binder, a process for the preparation of the binder, an aqueous dispersion containing the binder, a system comprising the binder, water and an (amine) curing agent and the use of the binder for the production of a hardened coating are proposed. It was surprisingly found that this binder, in which the emulsifier groups according to the invention are incorporated in the polymer chain, gives stable aqueous dispersions having a solids content of up to a 30% by weight.

Water dispersable, cyclic-carbonate-functionalized vinyl copolymer system

Proposed are 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxylic acid and derivatives thereof, according to the following formula, in which Rrepresents a negative charge, hydrogen or can be preferably Me or Et or a radical having a valency of 2 to 5, which is substituted with an amount of further 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxyl groups equal to the radical valency minus 1, as well as a process for their preparation by means of carboxylation of the corresponding epoxides, a process for their transesterification and their use for the preparation of hydroxyurethanes and as end groups for the blocking of amines.
