Abstract:
Disclosed is an agent for permanent hair waving that can realize permanent hair waving even in the neutral to weakly acidic pH range in which irritation particularly to the skin is not significant. The agent for permanent hair waving includes at least one heterocyclic mercapto compound represented by formula (1): wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; X represents -O-, -S-, -NH-, or -NR 3 -; R 3 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; n is an integer of 0 to 2; and, when n is 2, group SH may be attached to any carbon atom of an alkylene group having 2 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
A card support means is reciprocally moved by card drive means (109; 511) in a first direction. Optical heads (103; 503; 603) are reciprocally moved by head drive means (108; 507) in a second direction which is at right angles to the first direction. Motors in the drive means are surrounded by metallic vibration isolators (321, 323) and a rubber vibration isolator (322). Position of the optical card is determined by a pressing means (423) for urging the upper surface of the optical card downwardly and by a positioning means (425) capable of contacting the side surface of the optical card. The optical card inserted from the external side is placed in position by a roller means (506) which has a tilted rotary shaft. (505). The optical head (103) is usually controlled by feedback. When the drive speed has dropped, however, the open-loop control is carried out. The optical head is provided with electromagnetic drive means (833, 834) to scan the optical card. Signals read by the optical head are processed by a special binary circuit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for efficiently producing ß-mercaptocarboxylic acids using a solid acid catalyst such as zeolite, which product corresponds to respective starting materials selected from a, ß-unsaturated carboxylic acids (a, ß-unsaturated carboxylic acid, a, ß-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester, ex, ß-unsaturated amide, a, ß-unsaturated aldehide and a, ß-unsaturated ketone) and hydrogen sulfides (hydrogen sulfide, sulfide salt and hydrosulfide salt), wherein a solvent compatible with water is used in the reaction. According to the invention, ß-mercaptocarboxylic acids which are useful as additives in synthetic materials for pharmaceutical or agricultural agents and in polymer compounds can be industrially produced efficiently by using easily available a, ß-unsaturated carboxylic acid (such as crotonic acid) at high yield.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for industrially producing beta-mercapto carboxylic acids that are useful as synthetic raw materials for medicines and agrochemicals or as additives for polymer compounds from easily available alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids in high yields and productivity. The present invention is characterized in that a solvent having an amide group and represented by the formula (1) is used when the alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids are reacted with hydrogen sulfides to produce the beta-mercapto carboxylic acids. Particularly, it is more preferable to carry out the reaction at a pH range of 6.0 to 8.5: (In the formula (1), R 1 represents any one of a hydrogen atom, an alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an amino group, and an alkylamino group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R 2 and R 3 each represents independently any one of a hydrogen atom and an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; when both R 2 and R 3 are not a hydrogen atom, R 2 and R 3 may together form a ring structure through an alkylene group; and when both R 1 and R 2 are not a hydrogen atom, R 1 and R 2 may form a ring structure through an alkylene group).
Abstract:
A hair relaxer includes at least one specific mercapto compound such as 2-methoxyethyl 3-mercaptopropionate, 2-mercapto-4-butanolide and 2-mercapto-4-butyrolactam. The hair relaxer can achieve an excellent effect of shaping and relaxing hair over a wide range of pH values from weak acidity to weak alkalinity. In particular, the hair relaxer displays a more superior hair shaping and relaxing performance in a weakly acidic to neutral pH range. Consequently, the hair relaxer can drastically reduce the damage to the hair and skin and can reliably perform straightening, uncurling, curling and other hair processing.
Abstract:
The invention provides a slimming skin external preparation and a cosmetic that contain a carnitine derivative having excellent skin affinity and percutaneous absorption properties and capable of enhancing the fat metabolism, and that can treat, reduce or prevent the obesity by functioning as a lipolytic agent to enhance the fat metabolism of general or local subcutaneous fat tissues. The slimming skin external preparation contains a particular carnitine derivative such as a cylcarnitines and alcohol carnitine esters and preferably other slimming and skin-care ingredients.
