Daoanil Was first at Diamord to use anmoxidation to convert m-xylene to isophthalo-nitrile (Research Report 1243) and first to chlorinate IPN to Daconil.

Occasionally serve as an internal consultant on our crmercial amoxidation and chlorination orocesses for Daconil. Designed, operated, and suoervised operation of chlorination systems which produced 500 lb of Daconil and related comp)unds at up to three lb/hr. Prepared radiocarbon-labelled Damnil to _ help meet EPA registration requirements.

Demonstrated chlorination of anmoxidation process vapors to Daconil, etc.

(U. S. Patent 3,652,637). l Conceived and demonstrated an extraction process for renoving PCB's fran Daconil.

Chlorocyanopyridines c Used the ammoxidation and chlorination technology developed for Daconil to prepare novel chlorocyanop/ridines (U. S. Patent 3,325,503). In 1967, told the Patent Department that Dow had begun using one of our patented compounds to make Tordon herbicide. Dow first licensed, then bought our patent, but didn't apply for a patent on their Tordon process until 1981, according to U. S. Patent 4,336,384.

Thiofanon Insecticide Inproved the electrochemical pinacol process of U. S. Patent 3,497,430 by eliminating the membrane and close spacing of electro 3es.

Improved yields of pinacalone from electrochemical pinacal by flash distillation of the electrolyte from sulfuric acid (Research Rep 3rt 1605) .

Co-discovered a novel route to pinarlone. This catalytic reaction of acetone with pivalic acid was scaled up to 60 kg pinamlone/hr. The pro ss was extended to preparation of other ketones, and patented.

1 l Demonstrated the feasibility of ligai6 hase t nonochlorination of pinacolone; it I replaced the vapr phase process then in use.

i Miscellaneous Aided startup of Smi-Works production of Nopmcide 170 Slimicide (DS-649) and served as an internal consaltant daring proSuetion.

Helped develop a process for chlorinating ethylene dichloride to tetrachloro-ethanes (Research Report 1521) . Helped produce 20,000 lb of this trichlor-ethylene precursor at Smi-Warks.

Demonstrated substitution of ethane for the more costly ethylene in oxyhydro-chlorination to chlorinated ethanes (Research Report 1549) .

Discovered a process for treparing aromatic acid chlorides potentially useful '

for low HCB Dacthal (Research Rep 3rt 1082) . It was never commercialimd for this purpose, but it was used in preparing our first ton of Daconil. ,

1 Inproved the. final step of the Roetate herbicide process by reacting phenyl j isocyanate with dimethylorrrolidine in water instead of hectane. -l l

Imroved the diimide reductions used to prepare candidate pesticides such as DS-39264 by incremental a$dition of a more soluble catalyst [Cu(OAc), instead of CuSO,1, reducing hydrazine usage by a factor of ten. The reactions were '

also ma5e safer by substituting air for orfgen.

Prepared over 400 revel DS campounds which were screened for possible utility. 3 I

Assisted preparation of test quantities (0.1-20 kg) of numerous candidate {

products. J
