Abstract:
This invention describes the preparation of fatty acid esters of glycerol formal either by a triglyceride transesterification process or, alternatively, by an esterification process of fatty acids previously obtained from the hydrolysis of triglycerides (fat splitting), with glycerol formal in the presence of an acid or basic catalyst. Also the invention describes the use of these fatty acid esters of glycerol formal prepared by said process as biofuel. In an embodiment, such biofuel is used in the preparation of other biofuels by its mixture with a product selected from a group formed by: glycerol formal, biodiesel, petrol-derived diesel, and mixtures thereof. The biofuels thus obtained are characterised to allow the complete incorporation of the glycerol obtained in the current biodiesel production process in a biodiesel fuel.
Abstract:
A method of using organic compounds and providing slow release flavoring in or for food products wherein flavor precursors are added to flavor compositions and/or food products and release flavor compounds upon consumption of the food products, and novel flavor precursor compounds. The flavor precursors can be prepared from monoglycerides and flavor compounds which comprise one or more carbonyl groups.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel homochiral compounds which are intermediates for the preparation of a number of azole antifungal drugs of formula (V), in an enantiomerically pure form, wherein Ar is a phenyl or substituted phenyl group, so that the substituted phenyl group can contain one to three substituents, which can independently be fluorine, chlorine, bromine, (C1-C4)-alkyl or (C1-C4)-alkyloxy; Y is a CH group or a nitrogen atom; Z is a group COCH3, CH(CH3)2 or (a). The present invention also relates to the compounds (+)-terconazole and (-)-terconazole. Said compounds show antifungal and antibacterial activities and they can be used in human and veterinary therapies.
Abstract:
Fluorinated alkene compounds useful for and methods of controlling nematodes, insects, and acarids that prey on agricultural crops. Polar compounds, for example, 3,4,4-trifluoro-3-butene-1-amine or 3,4,4-trifluoro-3-butenoic acid, are particularly useful for systemic control of pests. Novel method and intermediates for the preparation of 3,4,4-trifluoro-3-butene-1-amine are also provided.
Abstract:
Lepidoptericidal and herbicidal active compounds having the generic formula (FORMULA) wherein R, R u, R u and R u are as disclosed herein. In general, these compounds show enhanced lepidoptericidal activity and show reduced phytotoxic effect on crops to be protected from the lepidoptera.
Abstract:
