Appeal No. 2002-2283
Application No. 08/882,513
1. A process for preparing haloamine electrophiles,
comprising reacting one or more amines with at least one
I,a-dihaloalkane or I,a-dihaloalkene or a mixture thereof,
said I,a-dihaloalkane or I,a-dihaloalkene having two
displaceable halides, in the absence of a phase transfer
catalyst, wherein said reacting step is not initiated by
ultraviolet radiation.
5. The process of Claim 1, wherein said at least
one I,a-dihaloalkane or I,a-dihaloalkene or mixture
thereof is selected from the group consisting of
1-bromo-3-chloro-propane, 1-bromo-4-chloro-butane,
1-bromo-5-chloro-pentane, 1-bromo-6-chloro-hexane, 1-bromo-
8-chloro-octane, 1,4-dichloro-2-butene, 1,3-dibromopropane,
1,3-dichloropropane, 1,4-dibromobutane, 1,4-dichlorobutane,
1-bromo-3-chloro-2-methylpropane, 1,3-dibromo-2-methyl-
propane, 1,3-dichloro-2-methylpropane, 1,3-dichloro-
2,2-dimethylpropane, 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethylpropane,
1-bromo-3-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane, and mixtures thereof.
20. A process for preparing haloamine electrophiles,
comprising reacting hexamethyleneimine with at least one
I,a-dihaloalkane or I,a-dihaloalkene or a mixture thereof,
said I,a-dihaloalkane or I,a-dihaloalkene having two
displaceable halides, in the absence of a phase transfer
catalyst, wherein said reacting step is not initiated by
ultraviolet radiation.
26. The process of Claim 1, wherein said
I,a-dihaloalkane or I,a-dihaloalkene or a mixture
thereof comprises halogen atoms selected from the group
consisting of bromine, chlorine and mixture thereof.
Looking at the claims themselves, the phrase “displaceable
halides” in independent Claims 1, 20 and 32 is presumed to
encompass halides other than the chlorides and bromides of
dependent Claim 26. The phrase, however, should not be interpreted
