摘要:
A method for synthesizing intermediates for use in the synthesis of carotenoid synthetic intermediates, carotenoid analogs, and/or carotenoid derivatives. The carotenoid analog, derivative, or intermediate may be administered to a subject for the inhibition and/or amelioration of any disease that involves production of reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, radicals and/or non-radicals. In some embodiments, the invention may include methods for synthesizing chemical compounds including an analog or derivative of a carotenoid. Carotenoid analogs or derivatives may include acyclic end groups. In some embodiments, a carotenoid analog or derivative may include at least one substituent. The substituent may enhance the solubility of the carotenoid analog or derivative such that the carotenoid analog or derivative at least partially dissolves in water.
摘要:
A method used for synthesizing intermediates for use in the synthesis of carotenoids and carotenoid analogs, and/or carotenoid derivatives. In some embodiments, the invention includes methods for synthesizing optically active intermediates useful for the synthesis of optically active carotenoids. Synthesis of optically active carotenoids, in one embodiment, may be accomplished by forming an optically active dihydroxy ketone intermediate from ketoisopherone.
摘要:
Highly active, recoverable and recyclable transition metal-based metathesis catalysts and their organometallic complexes including dendrimeric complexes are disclosed, including a Ru complex bearing a 1,3-dimesityl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene and styrenyl ether ligand. The heterocyclic ligand significantly enhances the catalytic activity, and the styrenyl ether allows for the easy recovery of the Ru complex. Derivatized catalysts capable of being immobilized on substrate surfaces are also disclosed. The present catalysts can be used to catalyze ring-closing metathesis (RCM), ring-opening (ROM) and cross metatheses (CM) reactions, and promote the efficient formation of various trisubstituted olefins at ambient temperature in high yield.

A process for the conversion of (3R,3′R,6′R)-lutein to 3′-epilutein, a carotenoid precursor for industrial production of naturally occurring (3R,3′R)-zeaxanthin, is disclosed.
摘要:
In a process for hydrogenating at least one organic compound, the organic compound or compounds is/are brought into contact with a hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst which comprises, as active metal, ruthenium either alone or together with at least one further metal of transition group I, VII or VIII of the Periodic Table applied to a support material based on amorphons silicon dioxide and is obtainable by: i) a single or multiple treatment of a support material based on amorphous silicon dioxide with a halogen-free aqueous solution of a low molecular weight ruthenium compound and subsequent drying of the treated support material at below 200null C., ii) reduction of the solid obtained in i) by means of hydrogen at from 100 to 350null C., with step ii) being carried out directly after step i).

One aspect of the present invention relates to novel ligands for transition metals. A second aspect of the present invention relates to the use of catalysts comprising these ligands in transition metal-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. The subject methods provide improvements in many features of the transition metal-catalyzed reactions, including the range of suitable substrates, reaction conditions, and efficiency.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel tertiary alcohol compounds which are useful as monomers for the preparation of photoresist materials having high transparency and a great affinity for the substrate and hence suitable for use in photolithography using a light source comprising preferably light having a wavelength of 300 nm or less and more preferably light emitted from an ArF excimer laser. Specifically, the present invention provides tertiary alcohols compounds represented by the following general formula (1): wherein R1 and R2 each independently represent a straigh-chain, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, in which some or all of the hydrogen atoms on the constituent carbon atoms may be replaced by a halogen atom or halogen atoms, or R1 and R2 may be joined together to form an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring; Z represents a straight-chain, branched or cyclic divalent organic group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms; and k is 0 or 1.
