Abstract:
The present invention relates to a synthesis of chromanones or chromanes in a stereospecific matter in view of the 2-position in the chromanone or chromane ring. It has been found that this synthesis is particularly possible in the presence of a chiral compound of formula of a specific type and of at least one phenol or thiophenol.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of propanediol mononitrate in combination with certain natural substances for reducing the production of methane emanating from the digestive activities of said ruminant as well as in increasing the organic matter digestibility in said ruminant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of reduction of methane emission in ruminants. Particularly. it relates to the administration of gossypol in an amount of at least 7.5 g gossypol/animal/day to a ruminant for reducing the production of methane emanating from the diges-5tive activities of said ruminant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the synthesis of p-alkylphenols and of 2,6-dimethyl-4-alkyl phenol from 2-alkylfurans with acetylene in the presence of a gold(I) complex as well as to 2,3,6 trimethylhydroquinone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel synthetic pathway for alpha-tocopherol. The invention discloses different reactions yielding some new intermediates in a very high yield and stereoselectivity.
Abstract:
