The present invention relates primarily to a process for preparing certain phosphorus-containing cyanohydrins of the formula (I), and also to certain phosphorus-containing cyanohydrins per se and to their use for the preparation of glufosinate and/or glufosinate salts. The present invention further relates to certain mixtures particularly suitable for preparing the phosphorus-containing cyanohydrins of the formula (I).

Disclosed is a phosphorus-containing compound capable of serving as a flame retardant to be used in conjunction with other ingredients to make resin compositions, useful for fabricating such as a prepreg, a resin film, a resin film with copper foil, a laminate or a printed circuit board, having improved one or more properties including glass transition temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal resistance, flame retardancy, dielectric constant, and dissipation factor. In addition, a method of preparing the phosphorus-containing compound and a resin composition comprising the phosphorus-containing compound are also disclosed.

A flame-retardant sugar derivative, a process for forming a flame-retardant sugar derivative, and an article of manufacture comprising a flame-retardant sugar derivative are disclosed. The flame-retardant sugar derivative can be synthesized from sorbitol, gluconic acid, or glucaric acid obtained from a bio-based source, and can have at least one phosphoryl or phosphonyl moiety. The process for forming the flame-retardant sugar derivative can include reacting sorbitol, gluconic acid, or glucaric acid and a flame-retardant phosphorus-based molecule to form the flame-retardant sugar derivative.

The present disclosure is drawn to a photo active agent which includes a bisacylphosphinic compound in the form of an acid or salt having Structure I: where A and A are independently aryl or from C2 to C8 lower alkyl; M is H, a monovalent cation, a divalent cation, or mixture thereof; n is 1 or 2; and q is 1 or 2. The photo active agent can be present in a composition that includes from 0.001 wt % to 5 wt % of a dialcohol phosphinic acid precursor or dialcohol phosphinic salt of the bisacylphosphinic compound of Structure I. ##STR00001##

The invention relates to agriculture, and specifically to regulators of plant growth and development that can be used for the pre-sowing treatment of cereal crop seeds and are in the form of bis(oxymethyl)phosphinic acid and biogenic metal salts thereof with the general formula (I) Me.sup.n+[OP(O)(CH.sub.2OH).sub.2].sub.n, where n may be 1 or 2 and Me may be any of the following: H, Na, Ca, Mg, Co, Cu, Zn, Mn. The claimed compounds of formula I are effective regulators of plant growth and development when acting in concentrations of 1.Math.10.sup.7-1.Math.10.sup.12%. Pre-sowing treatment of the seeds of cereal crops, namely wheat, corn and rice, by means of the claimed compounds increases germination energy and germination capacity up to 13%, also increases plant vigor, and rootlet and shoot lengths increase up to 36%. Crop harvests increase and the quality of the resulting grain improves, which expands the range of effective, environmentally friendly plant growth and development regulators that act at the level of natural phytohormones.

The invention relates to alkenyl(perfluoroalkyl)phosphinic acids, to the preparation and intermediates thereof, to the use thereof as monomers for the preparation of oligomers and/or polymers, to the corresponding oligomers/polymers, to the corresponding support materials comprising the oligomers/polymers, and to the use thereof as ion exchangers, as catalysts or extraction medium and corresponding salts thereof.
