Abstract:
Methods for substituting aromatic carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof and amino substituted aromatic carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof, by forming imides and imide-amides, respectively, by acylation with aliphatic carboxylic acids, substituting at least one nitrogen atom under mild basic conditions with an aliphatic compound having as alkylating agent a displaceable functionality and removing undesired acyl group, as appropriate.
Abstract:
In a process for preparing N,N'-diacetylethylene diamine by mixing ethylene diamine with the stoichiometric amount of acetic acid, a greater or smaller part of which may be aqueous, and distilling off any water originating from the use of aqueous acetic acid, and then dehydrating the ethylene diamine diacetate salt at a temperature of from 140 DEG C to 150 DEG C while using an auxiliary agent for distilling off water, as said auxiliary agent use is made of an organic solvent forming with water an azeotropic mixture having a boiling point preferably lying between 80 DEG C and 200 DEG C.
Abstract:
Novel non-ionic contrast media are efficiently prepared from generally available ionic contrast media or non-iodinated precursors. Particularly, polyhydroxyhalo-hydrocarbons are employed with a triiodo-substituted acylamido benzoic acids in aqueous weakly basic media to selectively substitute the amido nitrogen, followed by activation of the carboxyl group for amide formation.
Abstract:
Synergistic antimicrobial compositions are provided by combining effective amounts of Na-long chain alkanoyi di basic amino acid alkyl ester salts with glycerol monofatty acid esters resulting more effective anti-microbials and food preservatives.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 5-acylamino-2,4,6-triiodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives of formula (I), wherein X is I or Br, R is H or a variously substituted alkyl, or a group of formula (II), wherein X has the above meanings; Y is hydroxy, alkoxy, hydroxyalkoxy, alkylamino or hydroxyalkylamino; Z may be the same as COY or it is hydroxyalkylaminocarbonyl provided that at least one of the two acyl or R groups is hydroxy-substituted, which process comprises the rearrangement of the corresponding 5-(alkylaminocarbonyl-alkoxy)-2,4,6-triiodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives, in the presence of bases.
Abstract:
Compounds of general formula (I), wherein: R1 is acyl of the formula -C(=O)-R5; R2, R3, R4, R6, R7 and R8 are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and acyl of the formula: -C(=O)-R5, wherein R5 is selected from the group consisting of alkyls, substituted alkyls, alkenyls, substituted alkenyls, cycloalkyls, substituted cycloalkyls, arylalkylenes, substituted arylalkylenes, alkylenecycloalkyls, alkylene substituted cycloalkyls, alkynyls, substituted alkynyls, aryls and substituted aryls, wherein R2, R3 and R4 are selected such that at least one of R2, R3 and R4 is an acyl. When R2, R3 and R4 include one or more acyls that are not identical to the acyl of R1, these compounds of formula (I) are novel compounds. The invention also includes processes to produce the compounds of formula (I). Compounds of formula (I) complex and/or chelate tissue tri-valent ions, especially iron and aluminum (Fe+++, Al+++), when administered to a human being, and are therefore useful in therapy in the treatment of diseases in which tissue ion levels in the body have increased or toxic levels. These iron-related diseases include, for example, thalassemia major, sideroachrestic anemic, Blackfan-Diamond anemia, aplastic anemia, sickle cell anemia, hemolytic anemias and hemosiderosis brought about by multiple blood transfusions including treatment for the anemia accompanying conditions requiring kidney dialysis. Aluminum-related diseases or conditions include Alzheimer's disease, senile dementia and dialysis encephalopathy.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of aromatic amide antioxidants from a simple aliphatic or aromatic ester and primary amine in the presence of a metal alkoxide and an alcohol. Unsaturated products produced using this process are sufficiently pure to use as comonomers in the preparation of elastomers.
Abstract:
Described herein are compounds of the formulae (I)-(III) as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods for using such compounds/pharmaceutical compositions for treating Alzheimer's disease.
Abstract:
