TOUGHENED VINYL ESTER RESINS

A vinyl ester resin is derived from the reaction of an unsaturated acid with an epoxy terminated polymer made from a dithio or a trithio initiator, and optionally from an epoxy resin. The vinyl ester resin can be blended with a miscible toughener and a diluent to provide a time stable system and subsequently crosslink to provide a composition with improved toughening properties.

2-Mercaptoaldehyde dimers and 2,5-dihydrothiophenes from 1,3-oxathiolan-5-ones

Representative 1,3-oxathiolan-5-ones (6), prepared from 2-mercaptoacids, have been reduced to 2-mercaptoaldehydes 1 with diisobutylaluminum hydride.The aldehydes 1, which appear to exist in several dimeric forms, react with vinyltriphenylphosphonium bromide to give 2,5-dihydrothiophenes.
