The invention relates to polyoxyalkylene quaternized salts as phase transfer catalysts for liquid/liquid phase cyclopropanation, substitution or addition reactions involving a normally liquid or solvent soluble olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon and the process in which said quaternary compound is utilized. The involved quaternized salts are defined by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl having 8 to 30 carbon atoms, blends thereof or alkyl-substituted phenyl of 10 to 24 carbon atoms;

Thiocyano-containing polyoxyalkylenes

The sulfur-containing polyoxyalkylenes having the formula: ##STR1## wherein E is --SW or a halogen atom; W is hydrogen, phenyl, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkali metal or ammonium ion, or a heterocyclic radical containing from 2 to 4 hetero atoms in a 5-or 6-membered ring which may be monocyclic or may be fused to an aromatic ring; A, C and D represent lower alkylene of 2 to 4 carbon atoms; B is alkylene of 2 to 8 carbon atoms; y and z are each integers having a value of 0 to 50; x is an integer having a value of from 2 to 50; and n is an integer having a value of from 1 to 30; and intermixtures of said polyoxyalkylenes. The above compounds display a wide variety of uses; however, all are active metal working lubricants. Additional fields of utility, which may vary in the degree of activity for the various members of the above group include liquid dispersants, emulsifiers, low foaming surfactants for paints, pigments and dyes, anti-static agents, mold release agents, heat transfer fluids and anti-oxidants.

Sulfur-containing polyoxyalkylenes

The sulfide polymers of polyoxyalkylenes having the formula: ##STR1## wherein M is alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, benzyl, phenyl, hydrogen or an alkali metal or ammonium ion; A, C and D represent lower alkylene of 2 to 4 carbon atoms; B is alkylene of 2 to 8 carbon atoms; y and z are each integers having a value of 0 to 50; x is an integer having a value of from 1 to 50; n is an integer having a value of 1 to 30; and m has a value of from 2 to 10; and intermixtures of said polyoxyalkylene sulfide polymers. The above polymers have excellent antioxidating properties and are useful as synthetic metal working lubricants, antistatic agents and antioxidants for various other types of applications. They can also be used as crosslinking agents to impart oxidation resistance and static elimination.
