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.

The invention relates to the use of derivatives of F-type prostaglandins as ocular hypotensives. The PGF derivatives used in accordance with the invention are represented by the following formula I: 1 wherein wavy line attachments indicate either the alpha (null) or beta (null) configuration; dashed bonds represent a double bond, or a single bond, R is a substituted heteroaryl radical, R1 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical having up to six carbon atoms, X is selected from the group consisting of nullOR1 and nullN(R1)2, Y is nullO or represents 2 hydrogen radicals. Certain of the compounds represented by Formula I comprise another aspect of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to silica gel supported bis-cinchona alkaloid compounds of the formula: wherein Q is dihydroquininyl or dihydroquinindinyl; X is a compound having 4 carbon atoms; and R is methoxy, ethoxy or methyl; and methods of preparation and use thereof. The silica gel supported bis-cinchona alkaloid derivatives of this invention are useful re-useable catalysts for preparing vicinal diols by asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins.
摘要:
The method of the invention uses raw corn, or a corn by-product as a source. The source is mixed with an alcohol to produce an alcohol-corn slurry. Centrifugation or filtration produces a clear filtrate from the alcohol-corn slurry. A membrane filtration step is then used to separate purified xanthophylls. Other steps may be combined with the basic process to produce additional corn products, such as oil and zein.

摘要:
An improved method for the recovery of xanthophylls from corn gluten is provided. More specifically, a method for the recovery of xanthophylls from corn gluten whereby relatively dry corn gluten is extracted with an organic alcohol followed by a saponification reaction to convert xanthophyll esters to xanthophylls is described. Using this method, xanthophylls can be recovered from corn gluten in higher yields, greater efficiencies, and higher purity as to compared to prior art methods. Moreover, the xanthophyll product recovered in this method is a crystalline, powdery solid ideally suited for use in food products and pharmaceuticals. This material is especially suited for use in poultry feeds to provide the desired, healthy yellow color or hue in broiler and egg yolks.
