Reaction Steps

This can be accomplished by a partial replacement of the aforementioned diols by other diols such as 1,2-propane diol and 2,3-butane diol, or by using methyl-substituted dicarbonic acids. By using the aforementioned longer-chained glycols, such as 1,4-butane diol, 1,5-pentane diol and/or 1,6-hexane diol, elastomers of increased hydrolytic stability are obtained.
