Abstract:
Compositions and methods for detecting the activity of an ion channel in a cell are described. The methods include providing a loading buffer solution to the cell, where the loading buffer includes a thallium ion indicator and optionally chloride ions, and providing a stimulus buffer that includes thallium ions to the cell. Providing the stimulus buffer can cause thallium ion influx into or efflux out of the cell through the ion channel. After providing the stimulus buffer, a change in at least one optical property of the thallium ion indicator is detected in response to thallium influx or efflux, thereby detecting the activity of the ion channel.
Abstract:
An organometallic molybdenum acetylide dioxo complex of formula (η5-C5H5)MoO2(—Cs≡CPh) and provides a simple, short, efficient process for the synthesis of organometallic molybdenum dioxo complex which is used as catalyst for a number of oxidation reactions.
Abstract:
An improved process for the preparation of nitrosobenzene by catalytically reducing nitrobenzene with the use of a reducing agent selected from the group consisting of aliphatic compounds containing from about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, cycloaliphatic compounds containing from about 4 to about 12 carbon atoms, benzene, naphthalene, and ethylenically unsaturated compounds containing from about 2 to about 10 carbon atoms is disclosed. The improvement comprises performing the reduction in the presence of from about 0.05 to about 4.0 moles of water per mole of nitrobenzene.
Abstract:
Preparation of nitro compounds of phenols and alkyl substituted derivatives thereof which includes nitrosating phenols or alkyl derivative thereof, oxidizing the nitroso compound, separating off nitrogen oxides, separating nitro compounds from reaction mixture, and subjecting mother liquor and washing liquids to destructive oxidation at elevated temperatures and recycling nitrogen oxides and nitric acid.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of organic isocyanates in which a furoxan is heated in the presence of a vicinal diketo compound containing two adjacent keto carbonyl groups. When the furoxan ring is fused to an organic ring system di-isocyanates are produced. An adduct of the furoxan and the diketo compound may be isolated from the reaction mixture and used as a stable isocyanate precursor, for example, a "one-pot" polyurethane composition.
Abstract:
Purification of chloronitrosocyclohexane dimer (CNCD) is effected by dissolving the crude CNCD in a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a lower aromatic hydrocarbon solvent and thereafter displacing the solvent of the solution with an aliphatic alcohol of higher boiling point. Pure CNCD crystallizes and is separated from the liquors, which retain colored matter and other impurities.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of nitrophenols by adding over a period of time a suspension containing from about 4 to about 20 per cent weight/volume of nitrosated phenol to a nitric acid solution containing between 45 and 100 per cent by weight of nitric acid, said solution being maintained at a temperature in the range from about 45.degree. to 100.degree.C.
Abstract:
1. A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF P-NITROPHENOLS WHICH COMPRISES (A) MIXING (1) A NITRILE OF THE FORMULA R.O.NO, IN WHICH R IS AN ALKYL GROUP HAVING 1-6 CARBON ATOMS WITH (2) PHENOLS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF PHENOL, M-CRESOL AND A MIXTURE OF MAND P-CRESOL IN AN ACIDIC AQUEOUS MEDIUN WHICH IS AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A STRONG ACID AT TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM -20* TO 20*C TO FORM A PRECURSOR P-NITROSOPHENOL; AND (B) TREATING THE P-NITROSOPHENOL WITH NITRIC ACID IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ALCOHOL OF THE FORMULA R1OH, IN WHICH R1 IS AN ALKYL GROUP HAVING 1-6 CARBON ATOMS, AT TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM ABOUT -10* TO 25*C.; AND (C) RECOVERING A P-NITRO-PHENOL
Abstract:
C-NITROSO COMPOUNDS, ESPECIALLY NITROSOBENZENE, ARE STABILIZED BY THE ADDITION OF COMPOUNDS SUCH AS SALTS OR CHELATES OF HEAVY METALS, ESPECIALLY MANGANESE, COPPER OR COBALT.
Abstract:
A process has been provided for preparing perhalo nitroso alkanes from a halocarbon compound of the formula RCX2H wherein X is fluorine, chlorine, or bromine and R is a halogen or a perhalo radical and wherein the halogens substituents are fluorine, chlorine, or bromine. The process is carried out by reacting the halocarbon with nitrosyl chloride in a vapor phase at a pressure of one atmosphere or less and at a temperature from 160* C. and lower while irradiating the reaction mixture with radiant energy at the characteristic wavelength displayed by nitrosyl chloride.
