`The term "hydroxyalkyl" embraces
`linear or branched alkyl radicals having one to
`about
`ten carbon atoms any one of which may be
`
`substituted with one or more hydroxyl
`radicals.
`More preferred hydroxyalkyl
`radicals are "lower
`hydroxyalkyl" radicals having one to six carbon
`atoms
`and
`one
`or more
`hydroxyl
`radicals.
`Examples of
`such radicals include hydroxymethyl,
`hydroxyethyl,
`hydroxypropyl,
`hydroxybutyl
`and
`hydroxyhexyl.
`The terms "alkoxy" and "alkyloxy"
`embrace
`linear
`or
`branched
`oxy-containing
`radicals
`each having alkyl portions of
`one
`to

`ten carbon atoms.
`More preferred alkoxy
`radicals are "lower alkoxy" radicals having one
`to six carbon atoms. Examples of such radicals
`include methoxy,
