Phosphonous acid derivatives of the general formula I ##STR1## or the corresponding zwitterion form, in which R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 have the meanings given hereinafter, are valuable microbicides. They are being manufactured according to known methods of peptide synthesis and may be used to protect plants from the attack of plant-pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

Phosphonous acid derivatives, processes for their preparation and their

Phosphorylated alkylated phenol/phenol ester mixtures in which the weight ratio of the alkyl moiety to the phenol moiety ranges from 0.05 to about 0.65, and the number of carbon atoms per alkyl moiety ranges from 3 to 16, preferably from 3 to 12, which mixtures have satisfactory viscosity range and impart to polymeric materials and especially to polyvinylchloride plasticized therewith good light and heat stability: a process for producing such phosphorylated alkylated phenol/phenol ester mixtures; and polymeric materials plasticized therewith.

Phosphorylated secondary butylated phenol/phenol ester mixtures

Phosphorylated alkylated phenol/phenol ester mixtures in which the weight ratio of the alkyl moiety to the phenol moiety ranges from 0.05 to about 0.63, and the number of carbon atoms per alkyl moiety ranges from 3 to 16, preferably from 3 to 12, which mixtures have satisfactory viscosity range and impart to polymeric materials and especially to polyvinylchloride plasticized therewith good light and heat stability: a process for producing such phosphorylated alkylated phenol/phenol ester mixtures; and polymeric materials plasticized therewith.

Phosphorylated tertiary butylated phenol/phenol ester reaction mixtures

Phosphorylated alkylated phenol/phenol ester mixtures in which the weight ratio of the alkyl moiety to the phenol moiety ranges from 0.05 to 0.65, and the number of carbon atoms per alkyl moiety ranges from 3 to 16, preferably from 3 to 12, which mixtures have satisfactory viscosity range and impart to polymeric materials and especially to polyvinylchloride plasticized therewith good light and heat stability; a process for producing such phosphorylated alkylated phenol/phenol ester mixtures; and polymeric materials plasticized therewith.

Chemical process and products

A compound having the general formula ##SPC1## In which R.sup.1 , R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 may be the same or different and represent hydrogen, a straight or branched chain alkyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aralkyl radical having 7 to 20 carbon atoms which may be substituted by one or more alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or may be of the type: ##SPC2## Wherein R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are each a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and each R represents the others of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, an alkenyl radical having 2 to 20 carbon atoms; a cycloalkyl radical having 5 to 12 carbon atoms which may be substituted by one or more alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; an aryl radical having 6 to 10 carbon atoms; an alkaryl radical having 7 to 12 carbon atoms; a cyclohexyl alkyl radical in which the alkyl moiety has 2 or 3 carbon atoms and the cyclohexenyl ring may contain a methyl group as substituent; an alkenyl cyclohexyl radical in which the alkenyl moiety has 2 or 3 carbon atoms and the cyclohexyl ring may also contain a methyl group as substituent; or a group -OR.sup.7 wherein R.sup.7 represents an alkyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl radical having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by one or more alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an aryl radical having 6 to 10 carbon atoms or an alkenyl radical having 3 to 20 carbon atoms; or any two adjacent radicals R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 may be joined together to form an aryl ring which may be substituted by one or more alkyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; X represents an anion; and n is the valency of X, is useful for the extraction of metals from aqueous solutions.
