Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a metal halide-amide reaction product, useful in the preparation of metal-modified amide-aldehyde polymers, which comprises
(1) reacting in a water-immiscible inert liquid medium a metal halide with at least one amide having at least two replaceable hydrogens to obtain a reaction product therebetween;
(2) hydrolyzing the reaction product obtained in step (1) above with water to form an aqueous solution of the reaction product;
(3) partially neutralizing the aqueous solution of the reaction product obtained in step (2) with a bicarbonate, and
(4) recovering the metal halide-amide reaction product obtained.
