A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed highly selective Markovnikov hydrogenation of terminal epoxides to secondary alcohols is reported. Diverse substitutions on the aryl ring of styrene oxides are tolerated. Benzylic, glycidyl, and aliphatic epoxides as well as diepoxides also underwent facile hydrogenation to provide secondary alcohols with exclusive selectivity. Metal-ligand cooperation-mediated ruthenium trans-dihydride formation and its reaction involving oxygen and the less substituted terminal carbon of the epoxide is envisaged for the origin of the observed selectivity.

Polyether polyols based on bisphenol-S were prepared by alkoxylation and compared with analogs based on bisphenol-A, as well as standard aromatic polyester, and polyether polyols for viscosity and temperature stability. Thermo-oxidative stability was determined by thermo-gravimetric analysis, pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy, and evolved gas analysis mass spectroscopy. Incorporation of the sulfone moiety was found to dramatically improve the thermo-oxidative stability of the neat polyol. Significant char formation was observed with gas phase evolution of flame retardant SO2 and aromatic sulfone only apparent at about 600 °C.
Aromatic ethers and process for producing aromatic ethers

Page 13-14, (2010/02/08)
According to a production process, aromatic ethers are producible by reacting phenols with an oxirane compound with use of an anion exchange resin as a catalyst. According to another production process, aromatic ethers having an alcoholic hydroxyl group are producible by a crystallization-purification step of using a solvent having a solubility parameter ranging from 7.5 to 12.5 for purification by crystallization. Further, according to still another production process, producible are aromatic ethers having an alcoholic hydroxyl group, wherein the content of a metal in the aromatic ethers is less than 100 ppm by mass, and the content of a halogen element in the aromatic ethers is less than 100 ppm by mass.
