摘要:
Processes for producing substituted or unsubstituted 3-thia furans and 3-furan thiols comprising the steps of: I. Providing a 2-ene-1,4 dione having the structure:
II. Intimately admixing said 2-ene-1,4 dione with a thiol having the formula R3SH thereby providing a substituted or unsubstituted 2-thia substituted 1,4 dione having the structure:
III. Cyclizing said 2-thia substituted 1,4 dione to form a substituted or unsubstituted 3-thia furan having the formula:
IV. Optionally but only when R3 hydrolyzing is acyl or aroyl, said 3-thia furan thereby forming a 3-mercapto furan having the structure:
V. Optionally, reacting said 3-mercapto furan with an acyl halide thereby forming a 3-thia furan having the formula:
WHEREIN R1 and R2 are the same or different lower alkyl; wherein R3 is either acyl, aroyl, or alkyl; wherein R4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; and wherein R5 is different from R3 and is either acyl or aroyl. If either of R1 or R2 are hydrogen, then step (ii) is performed in the presence of an organic base such as piperidine, pyridine, triethyl amine, quinoline, or Alpha picoline.

摘要:
A NICKEL-BASE HYDROGENATION CATALYST COMPRISES NICKEL AND AN ADDITIVE METAL IN A STATE OF INTIMATELY CLOSE COMBINATION, THE ADDITIVE METAL BEING GERMANIUM OR A METAL OF GROUP I-A OR II-A OF THE PERIODIC TABLE. THIS CATALYST IS EFFECTIVE WHEN USED IN THE CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION OF A DICARBOXYLIC ANHYDRIDE OR A PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED PRODUCT THEREOF THEREBY TO PRODUCE A CORRESPONDING CYCLIC LACTONE OR CYCLIC ETHER.
WHEREIN R1 AND R2 ARE AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. THE THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF THE STARTING MATERIAL IS PREFERABLY EFFECTED AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF 120*C. TO 200*C. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ALKALI METAL SALT OF AN ORGANIC ACID. THE HYDROXY FURANONES ARE USEFUL SOLVENTS AND INTERMEDIATES FOR THE PREPARATION OF POLYOLS USEFUL, FOR EXAMPLE, AS SOLVENTS AND IN THE MANUFACTURE OF POLYESTERS.
摘要:
Cranial placodes are embryonic structures essential for sensory and endocrine organ development. The efficient derivation of cranial placodes from human pluripotent stem cells is disclosed where the timed removal of the BMP inhibitor Noggin, a component of the dual-SMAD inhibition strategy of neural induction, triggers placode induction at the expense of CNS fates. Further fate specification at the pre-placode stage enables the selective generation of placode-derived trigeminal ganglia capable of in vivo engraftment, mature lens fibers and anterior pituitary hormone-producing cells that upon transplantation produce hormones including, but not limited to, human growth hormone and adrenocortiocotropic hormone in vivo. Alternatively, anterior pituitary hormone-producing cells are generated in cell culture systems in vitro.
