Abstract:
Novel antihypertensive and coronary dilating asymmetric diesters of 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid (or the stereoisomers or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof) have the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein Ph is phenyl, Ar is 2-nitrophenyl, 3-nitrophenyl, 2,3-dichlorophenyl or benzofurazan-4-yl, A is a straight or branched chain alkylene radical having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R is a straight or branched chain alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, optionally mono-substituted by an alkoxy substituent having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R.sub.1 is hydrogen, hydroxy or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl. The subject diesters are facilely prepared from the aldehydes ArCHO and esters of acetoacetic and 3-aminocrotonic acids.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a novel process for effecting an ether interchange reaction by heating together in the presence of a basic catalyst, a nitroaromatic ether or thioether and an organic compound containing at least one hydroxyl or mercapto group. The novelty resides particularly in carrying out the interchange in an inert solvent while sparging the heated reactants thereby to remove at least a portion of solvent along with an evolving alcohol or thiol.The process is particularly adapted to the capping of organic polyols with nitroaromatic ether groups. The capped products are useful as intermediates for the preparation of high molecular weight polyamines which in turn find utility in various polymer applications.
Abstract:
Liquid crystalline side-chain polyesters prepared by polycondensing a dicarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof with a diol of a certain general formula. Of such diols the essence is that they have a delocalized .pi. electron system to which both an electron donor group and an electron acceptor group are coupled directly (D.pi.A-system). Because of the structure of the diol to which the D.pi.A-system is linked the polyesters exhibit excellent Tg and Tc values. The polyesters are to be used in optical waveguides or for optical data storage.
Abstract:
Essentially, a process is described for the preparation of the 1-triazolylethyl ether derivatives, defined in claim 1, of the general formula I ##STR1## which consists in (a) reacting an oxirane of the formula II ##STR2## at temperatures of -20.degree. to +100.degree. C., in the presence of an acid catalyst or an acid condensation agent, with an alcohol of the formula IIIR.sub.3 --OH (III) to give a glycol monoether of the formula IV ##STR3## and (b) subsequently reacting the glycol monoether of the formula IV or one of its esters, in the presence of an acid-binding agent or condensation agent, at temperatures of 0.degree. to 150.degree. C., with a triazole of the formula V ##STR4## the substituents R.sub.1, R.sub.2 ; amd R.sub.3 in the formula II to IV being as defined under formula I and M in formula V being hydrogen or a metal atom. The novel compounds within the scope of formula I and their use are also described.
