The present invention relates to a process for preparing hydrophobically associating macromonomers M and to the novel macromonomers prepared by means of the process according to the invention. The macromonomers M comprise a copolymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated group and a polyether structure in block form, the latter consisting of a polyethyleneoxy block and a hydrophobic polyalkyleneoxy block consisting of alkyleneoxy units having at least 4 carbon atoms. Optionally, the macromonomers M may have a terminal polyethyleneoxy block. The macromonomers prepared by the process according to the invention are suitable for reaction with further monomers, especially with acrylamide, to give a water-soluble, hydrophobically associating copolymer.

Process for preparing a macromonomer

Water-soluble, hydrophobically associating copolymers which comprise new types of hydrophobically associating monomers. The monomers comprise an ethylenically unsaturated group and a polyether group with block structure comprising a hydrophilic polyalkylene oxide block which consists essentially of ethylene oxide groups, and a terminal, hydrophobic polyalkylene oxide block which consists of alkylene oxides with at least 4, preferably at least 5 carbon atoms.

Hydrophobically associating copolymers

A process for preparing polyether alcohols by reacting one or more unsaturated starters having at least one active hydrogen atom per molecule with one or more alkylene oxides in the liquid phase in the presence of a basic catalyst in a reactor, wherein the one or more alkylene oxides are introduced into the reactor in such a way that the concentration of unreacted alkylene oxide in the liquid reaction mixture in the reactor is increased as far as possible with increasing degree of addition of the alkylene oxide onto the starter, with the proviso that the temperature at the end of a runaway reaction is at any point in time at least 100 K below the onset temperature of the decomposition reaction of the liquid reaction mixture, is proposed.

Process for preparing allyl alcohol alkoxylates

A process for a continuous production of a polyetherol first involves reacting a catalyst () with an alcohol starter () or an alkoxylated precursor, to give a mixture comprising an alcoholate and water. Water is then removed from the mixture. The process further involves feeding the alcoholate into a bubble column and feeding an alkylene oxide into the bottom of a compartment of the bubble column, such that the alkylene oxide rises in the alcoholate. The alkylene oxide then reacts with the alcoholate or a secondary product from the reaction between the alcoholate and alkylene oxide, to give the polyetherol.

Process for a continuous production of polyetherols

A process for the preparation of polyether alcohols by reacting at least one alkylene oxide with at least one unsaturated starter having at least one active hydrogen atom per molecule under basic catalysis,
