Abstract
Abstract 1,4-Diaminobutanes of the formula ##STR1## in which R 1 is H or --CH 3 and R 2 and R 3 independently of one another are each a radical of the formula ##STR2## in which A is alkyl having 1 to 3 C atoms, --OCH 3 , --N(CH 3 ) 2 , --Cl or --Br and R 2 also is alkyl having 1 to 3 C atoms, are prepared according to the invention by catalytically hydrogenating succinic acid dinitrile of the formula ##STR3## in the presence of acetic anhydride and hydrolyzing the N,N'-diacetyl-1,4-diaminobutanes thus obtained to diamines of the formula I, which are valuable curing agents for epoxide resins.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A curable mixture comprising (a) a 1,4-diaminobutane, of the formula I ##STR12## in which R 1 is H or --CH 3 and R 2 and R 3 independently of one another are each denote a radical of the formula ##STR13## in which A is alkyl having 1 to 3 C atoms, --OCH 3 , --N(CH 3 ) 2 , --Cl or --Br, and R 2 is also alkyl having 1 to 3 C atoms, and (b) a polyepoxide compound (X) having, on average, more than one epoxide group in the molecule, there being, in the mixture, 0.5 to 1.5 equivalents of active hydrogen atoms, bonded to nitrogen, in the particular 1,4-diaminobutane per 1 equivalent of epoxide groups in the epoxide compound (X).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A curable mixture comprising (a) a 1,4-diaminobutane, of the formula I ##STR12## in which R 1 is H or --CH 3 and R 2 and R 3 independently of one another are each denote a radical of the formula ##STR13## in which A is alkyl having 1 to 3 C atoms, --OCH 3 , --N(CH 3 ) 2 , --Cl or --Br, and R 2 is also alkyl having 1 to 3 C atoms, and (b) a polyepoxide compound (X) having, on average, more than one epoxide group in the molecule, there being, in the mixture, 0.5 to 1.5 equivalents of active hydrogen atoms, bonded to nitrogen, in the particular 1,4-diaminobutane per 1 equivalent of epoxide groups in the epoxide compound (X).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A mixture according to claim 1 which comprises a 1,4-diaminobutane of the formula I in which R 1 is H or --CH 3 , R 2 is one of the radicals ##STR14## or alkyl having up to 3 C atoms and R 3 is one of the radicals ##STR15## it being possible for R 2 and R 3 to be identical or different.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A mixture according to claim 1 which comprises, as the 1,4-diaminobutane of the formula I, 1,4-diamino-2,3-diphenylbutane which has a melting point of 144° to 145° C. and is in the meso form.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
96 words
A mixture according to claim 1 which comprises the 1,4-diaminobutane of the formula I in the form of an adduct curing agent (E) having an amine number of 4.0 to 4.7, said adduct being obtained from the 1,4-diaminobutane of the formula I and a liquid epoxide compound (Z) having, on average, more than one epoxide group per molecule, and optionally phenylglycide, there being, in the mixture, 0.8 to 1.2 equivalents of active hydrogen atoms bonded to the nitrogen atoms of the adduct curing agent (E) per 1 equivalent of epoxide groups in the epoxide compound (X).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
63 words
A mixture according to claim 4 which comprises an adduct curing agent (E) which has been prepared by reacting the 1,4-diaminobutane of the formula I with the epoxide compound (Z) and optionally with phenylglycide, at a temperature of 120° to 200° C., the 1,4-diaminobutane, the epoxide compound (Z) and the phenylglycide having been in a molar ratio of 1.0:0.13:0.2 in the reaction mixture.
