Abstract:
The invention provides a process for preparing bronopol, which process comprises charging a reaction vessel with water, bromopicrin, nitromethane and paraformaldehyde, gradually feeding a base into said reaction vessel under stirring, bringing the reaction to completion and separating bronopol from the aqueous reaction mixture.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing isoxazolene of the formula (I), where the substituents have the following meanings: R1 is hydrogen, C¿1?-C6 alkyl, R?2 is C¿1-C6 alkyl, R?3, R4, R5¿ are hydrogen, C¿1?-C6 alkyl or R?4 and R5¿ together form a linkage, R6 is a heterocyclic ring, and n is 0, 1 or 2. Said method comprises the production of an intermediate compound of the formula (VI) where R?1, R3, R4 and R5¿ have the meanings given above. This step is followed by halogenation, thiomethylation, oxidation and acylation to yield compounds of formula (I). The invention also relates to new intermediate products for producing compounds of formula (I) and new methods for producing the intermediate products.
Abstract:
A method of nitrating electron-deficient carbocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic compounds such as pyridines, diazines and triazines and benzenoid aromatics having electron-withdrawing substituents involves first reacting the aromatic species with a sulphilimine species or with the corresponding N-alkali metal salt thereof to generate an N-(hetero)aryl-S,S-dialkyl, diaryl or alkylarylsulphilimine derivative. This intermediate may then be readily oxidised under relatively mild conditions using a peroxycarboxylic acid such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, peracetic or peroxytrifluoroacetic acid. Good yields of nitrated products are obtained including some previously unprepared. The novel N-alkali(alkylaryl)sulphilimine reagents are prepared by reacting an alkali metal hydride, an alkali metal hydrogenous base or an alkyl lithium with the corresponding sulphilimine. Preferred salts are the N-lithio types and the preferred sulphilimine is diphenylsulphilimine. Where the salt is used reaction should be in an aprotic solvent but if the sulphilimine per se is the reagent a polar solvent is used.

Abstract:
The invention pertains to a method in which a halogen atom of an organic compound is replaced with a group derived from a nucleophilic agent, at high yield and high efficiency, by the following method which includes a step of reacting the nucleophilic agent with an organic material having a halogen atom bonded to a carbon atom having four σ bonds, more specifically: a method for producing an organic compound having Q, the method including a step of reacting a compound represented by general formula (2) with an organic starting material having at least one halogen atom bonded to a carbon atom having four σ bonds so as to replace the halogen atom in the organic starting material with Q:
MQ a (2)
(wherein M represents an alkali metal atom, an alkali earth metal atom, or a rare earth metal atom; Q represents a moiety of an inorganic acid or an active hydrogen compound derived by eliminating a proton, wherein Q is a halogen atom different from the halogen atom in the organic starting material having the halogen atom bonded to the carbon atom having the four σ bonds; and a represents an integer of 1 to 3) in the presence of a compound represented by general formula (1) (wherein Z - represents an anion derived by eliminating a proton from an inorganic acid or an active hydrogen compound; R 2 is the same or different; R 2 each independently represent a C 1 -C 10 hydrocarbon group or two R 2 on the same nitrogen atom may be bonded with each other to form a ring with the nitrogen atom).
