radical C.S.N 1/

C.- I\ wherein a: and y mean vicinal carbon atoms of an aromatic nucleus (benzene or naphthalene nucleus, for example) or :1 means nitrogen and y sulfur, oxygen or the -NH group.

It is the idea of the invention to have found that organic compounds containing the above grouping are valuable vulcanization accelerators,

possessing an especially'good critical temperature,

The new accelerators, furthermore, can .be applied with vulcanization accelerators of other types without the good critical temperature'being substantially impaired.

The following formula: are intended to show some types of compoundspossessing the above allkyl (aryl, aralkyl) 'R. and R1 in the above formula may stand, for example, for similar or dissimilar alkyl, aralkyl or hydroaryl groups or jointly may represent a chain of alkylene groups, which may be interrupted by oxygen or sulfur. The group -etc. Obviously -al1 the compounds in 'question 'mtybvsubstituted-in the mostvariouemanner '-I.-A metal swltflalttli metal mt, ,forwxample) of a compound containing-.the grouping is caused to react with a N halogen amine containing the grouping 1'10 11. A compound containme the grouping is caused to react with a compound containing the grouping is caused to react with a compound cozltainingmo the groupin I at elevated temperature (40-l50 0., for instance). For. egrample:

(The letters a: and y in the.abov:e1 ,groupings are tobe :expla'inedas .mentioned-m,-page 1.)

For mulcanization; purposes the new vulcanization accelenatorsmay be incorporated within rub- 25 ber in any desired manner, for example, by rolling or kneading. lA vulcanizing agent, such as sulfur, selenium, aromatic nitro compounds metal oxides, are added to tthe vulcanization mixture together with or apart from the new,-;, o vulcanization accelerators, and, if desired, filling materials (zinc oxide, carbon black etc.), plasticizing agents (stearie-aciddtam etc.) and other ingredients known to favorably influence vulcanization processes or to: improve the properties 5 of the vulcanization products. vulcanization of the mixture is then performed by heating the same 'to'temperatures usually applied in vulcanization processes (-150 C. for example), until vulcanization is complete.

It may be mentioned that the term rubber as used in the disclosure andin the claims is intended to includenas well natural rubber as the various artificial rubber-like: masses obtainable, for example, by polymerizing butadiene, isoprene, dimethyl-butadienes, chlorobutadiene etc. alone or in admixture with other polymerizable compounds, such asstyrene, vinylnaphthalene, acrylic acid derivatives, unsaturated ketones etc.
