Patent ID: 8519038

Claim:
An aldimino-containing compound AV obtained from a reaction of at least one aldimine of formula (I) with at least one compound D that bears at least one reactive group that can enter into addition reactions with an HX group of the aldimine of formula (I): where: A is either: a radical of an amine after removal of n primary aliphatic amino groups and m HX groups, or together with R 7 is an (n+2)-valent hydrocarbon radical that has 3 to 20 carbon atoms and optionally contains at least one heteroatom; n is 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, and m=1, with the proviso that m+n is 2 or 3 or 4 or 5; R 1 and R 2 are either: each independently a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or together are a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 4 to 12 carbon atoms that is part of an optionally substituted carbocyclic ring having 5 to 8 carbon atoms; R 3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group or an arylalkyl group or an alkoxycarbonyl group; R 4 and R 5 are either: each independently a monovalent aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or arylaliphatic radical that has 1 to 20 carbon atoms and is free of hydroxyl groups and optionally contains heteroatoms in the form of ether oxygen or tertiary amine nitrogen, or together are a divalent aliphatic radical that has 3 to 20 carbon atoms and is part of an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring having 5 to 8 ring atoms, this ring being free of hydroxyl groups and, as well as nitrogen atom, optionally containing further heteroatoms in the form of ether oxygen or tertiary amine nitrogen; and X is O or S or N—R 6 or N—R 7 , where R 6 is either: a monovalent hydrocarbon radical that has 1 to 20 carbon atoms and optionally has at least one carboxylic ester, nitrile, nitro, phosphonic ester, sulfone, or sulfonic ester group, or a substituent of formula (II): where: p is 0 or an integer from 1 to 10,000, and B is a (p+1)-valent hydrocarbon radical that optionally contains ether oxygen, tertiary amine nitrogen, hydroxyl groups, secondary amino groups, or mercapto groups; wherein, when m=0 and n=3, R 4 and R 5 do not contain any tertiary amine nitrogen.
