Abstract:
Compounds, compositions, and methods for controlling an arthropod pest population that employ an eremophilane sesquiterpene parent structure are presented. The compounds have minimal adverse or toxic effects on humans, non-human animals, and the natural environment. The compounds may be isolated from natural sources, semi-synthesized from naturally occurring compounds, or completely synthesized. The compounds may be applied directly to a pest, or the locus of a pest, and function as topical or ingestible toxins. Eremophilane sesquiterpenes 13-hydroxy-valencene, valencene-11,12-epoxide, valencene-13-aldehyde, and nootkatone-1,10-11,12-diepoxide are exemplary compounds.
Abstract:
Novel Isoprene Derivatives which have mucosa-protective and gastric acid secretion-inhibiting properties and are useful for combatting ulcers both by treating and as a prophylaxis against gastric and/or duodenal ulcers.
Abstract:
A process comprising the steps of reacting 1-acetyl-3,3-dimethylcyclohexane with an alkyl acetate, thereby forming a diketone having the structure: ##STR1## reacting the said diketone with an allyl halide to form a substituted diketone having the structure: ##STR2## which is transformed into the compound having the structure: ##STR3## by means of a retro-Claisen reaction. Also described is the use in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfume compositions, colognes or perfumed articles of the compound having the structure: ##STR4##
Abstract:
Unsaturated alicyclic compounds of formula ##STR1## having a methyl radical bound to the carbon atom in position 5 or 6 of the ring, possess interesting perfuming and flavoring properties and consequently they can be used advantageously in the fragrance and flavor industry. They can develop various notes of green, flowery, fruity and fresh type.
Abstract:
Process for producing 3-thia substituted alkane 1,4 diones comprising the steps of:I. Providing a 2-ene-1,4 dione having the structure: ##SPC1##Ii. Intimately admixing said 2-ene-1,4 dione with a sulfur compound having the formula:R.sub.3 SH thereby providing a substituted or sunsubstituted 2-thia substituted alkane 1,4 dione having the structure: ##SPC2##WhereinR.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of acyl and royl, wherein R.sub.2 is lower alkyl; and wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.4 and r.sub.6 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl; wherein when R.sub.1 is hydrogen, the reaction (ii) is carried out in the presence of an organic base; and wherein when R.sub.1 is lower alkyl, the reaction (ii) is carried out in the absence of catalyst. Examples of such organic bases are piperidine, pyridine, triethyl amine, quinoline or alpha-picoline.

-CH2OOCR"
R* IS STRAIGHT CHAIN LOWER ALKYL (C4-C6); AND R IS HYDROGEN, ALKYL CYCLOALKYL OR -OCR"; R'' IS HYDROGEN (OR A SUBSTITUTE SALT FORMING CATION) OR R"; AND R" IS ALKYL, AS DIFINED OR QUALIFIED IN THE FOLLOWNG SPECIFICATION, E.G. 1(2''4''-DIMETHOXY-6''-W-HYDROXYETHYL-1''-PHENYL) - 1 -OCTEN3-ONE, SAID COMPOUNDS BEING USEFUL AS PHARMACEUTICAL AGENTS, E.G. AS AGENTS FOR CONTROL OF REPRODUCTION INFE FEMALES. THE ABOVE FINAL PRODUCTS AMY BE PREPARED BY REACTING A 6-W-SUBSTITUTED-HEXYL-,4-DISUBSTITUTED - BENZALDEHYDE WITH A DIALKYL-2-OXOALKYL PHOSPHORANE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE BASE OR FROM CERTAIN OF THE FINAL PRODUCTS BY OXIDATION, ESTERFICATION OR REDUCTION DEPENDING ON THE FINAL PRODUCT DESIRED. THE 6-W-SUBSTITUTED-HEXYL - 2,3-DISUBSTITUTED-BENZALDEHYDES ARE OBTAINED BY BENZYLIC OXIDATION OF A 4-HYDROXYMETHYL-5-W-HYDROXYLHEXYL-1,3-DISUBSTITUTED-BENZENE WHICH IN TURN ARE OBTAINED BY REDUCTION OF A 6-2-CARBOXYPENTYL-2,4-DISUBSTITUTED-BENZOIC ACID.
Abstract:
USEFUL ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ARE PRODUCED BY CONTACTING AN ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED ORGANIC COMPOUND WITH AN ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUND OF A GROUP VIII METAL HAVING AN ATOMIC NUMBER IN THE RANGE OF 44-78 IN THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF A CUPRIC SALT, AND THE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS PRODUCED ARE CONDENSATION PRODUCTS OF TE ORGANO GROUP WITH THE UNSATURATED ORGANIC COMPOUND.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a synthesis process of a compound of the following formula (I) or one of the salts thereof, wherein R represents a COOH, CH2OH or CHO group, comprising the step according to which the but-3-ene-1,2-diol (BDO) is subjected to an oxidation in the presence of a catalyst, said catalyst comprising an active phase based on at least one noble metal selected from palladium, gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, osmium, ruthenium and iridium, and a support containing alkaline sites.
