The present invention relates to a hydroxy-sulphureous acid, to a method for preparation of the hydroxysulphureous acid and to products based on said hydroxysulphureous acid, to methods for preparation of said products and to use of said products, wherein said hydroxysulphureous acid is used as building blocks for polymer systems, e g aqueous polymer systems such as inks, coatings, and adhesives.

Low protonation constant hydroxy acids

A process for manufacture of a dendritic polyether comprising a core, derived from a compound having two or more hydroxyl groups, and at least one branching generation being built up from at least one hydroxyoxetane having one oxetane group and at least one hydroxyl group is disclosed. The process comprises ring opening addition to said core and ring opening polymerization of said hydroxyoxetane. A mixture of the core compound and at least one cationic initiator is prepared and said hydroxyoxetane is fed to said mixture at a rate resulting in and/or maintaining a reaction temperature below onset at thermal degradation and in an amount resulting in at least one branching generation. The initiator is present in an amount of 0.1&#x2013;0.5% by weight calculated on said core and said oxetane, preferably in an amount giving a ratio hydroxyl groups to initiator of between 1:0.01 and 1:0.05. Yielded dendritic polyether is sebsequently neutralised by addition of at least one alkaline compound and optionally purified.

Process for manufacture of a dendritic polyether

A hyperbranched dendritic polyether, which optionally is further processed, such as further chain extended, chain terminated and/or functionalised. The hyperbranched dendritic polyether is obtained in a process comprising the step of thermally initiated cationic ring-opening polymerisation of at least one oxetane having at least two reactive groups of which at least one is an oxetane group. The thermally initiated ring-opening polymerisation is performed using an effective amount of at least one initiator, such as a thermal onium salt, a Lewis acid and/or a Br&oslash;nsted acid. The terminal groups in said hyperbranched dendritic polyether are substantially hydroxyl groups and used for said optional further processing.

Hyperbranched dendritic polyether and process for manufacture thereof

A process for production of an oxetane, which process comprises subjecting an alcohol having two or more hydroxyl groups to reaction with a carbamide at a molar ratio employing 1-2 moles of said carbamide on 1-2 moles of said alcohol. The alcohols preferably have at least one 1,3-diol grouping. The reaction is carried out in the presence of at least one catalyst promoting and/or initiating transcarbonylation and/or pyrolysis. A reaction mixture comprising an oxetane and optionally an orthocarbonate of said alcohol is yielded. The oxetane is suitable recovered from said reaction mixture by for instance distillation.

Process for production of an oxetane

A process for synthesis of a polymeric polyalcohol substantially and preferably built up form polyester units and composed of a monomeric or polymeric initiator molecule to which at least one dentritic branch (dendron) consisting of a number of branching generations is added. The branching generations comprise a polymericor monomeric branching chain extender having three reactive functions of which two are hydroxyl groups. The two hydroxyl groups of the ranching chain extender is acetal protected by reaction between said two hydroxyl groups and an acetal-forming carbonyl compound, preferably an aldehyde. The acetal protected branching chain extender is then employed for addition to the initiator molecule of a first branching generation followed by an optional deprotection of the hydroxyl groups by decomposition of acetals and for addition in repeated steps of further branching generations. Additions of branching generations individually employ an acetal protected branching chain extender synthesized from the same or a different branching chain extender and/or acetal-forming carbonyl compound and addition of a branching generation is optionally followed by addition of a spacing generation.
