Abstract:
A process for the production of alpha-halo-N,N-dimethylpropionamides, preferably those which are optically active, comprising reacting the methyl or ethyl ester of an alpha-halopropionic acid with dimethylamine in an aqueous solution, with removal of the lower alkanol formed during the reaction.
Abstract:
A combination of fungal protease and pancreatin is used in enzymatically hydrolyzing protein. The combination of these enzymes in hydrolyzing a proteinaceous material provides good yield at short reaction time with limited organoleptic problems.
Abstract:
An herbicide antidote composition comprises a pyrrolidone herbicide and an antidote for that pyrrolidone crop injury having one of the following formulas:
Abstract:
Nouveaux S-benzyl thiolcarbamates ayant la formule suivante: $(8,)$dans laquelle R1 est choisi parmi le groupe constitué d'hydrogène et de méthoxy, R2 est choisi parmi le groupe constitué de méthyle, éthyle et allyle, et R3 est choisi parmi le groupe constitué d'un alkyle de C3 à C6 à chaîne droite éventuellement substitué avec un ou deux groupes méthyle, et allyle. Les composés sont particulièrement efficaces pour le contrôle des mauvaises herbes associées aux plantations de riz.
Abstract:
Phase stable compositions containing a paraffinic polyol chain extender, e.g., 1,4-butanediol, and an isocyanate-reactive prepolymer containing hydroxy and epoxy groups are formed by heating the polyol and prepolymer in the presence of one another to yield the phase stable composition. The composition, when reacted with a polyisocyanate, yields poly(oxazolidonelurethane) thermoset compositions.
Abstract:
A herbicidal composition of extended soil life characterised in that it comprises:
(a) a herbicidally-effective amount of a thiolcarbamate corresponding to the following general formula: wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 independently represent C 2 -C 4 alkyl; and (b) an amount sufficient to extend the soil life of the thiolcarbamate of an amine or an agriculturally-acceptable salt thereof, the amine corresponding to the following general formula: wherein
R 4 and R S independently represent hydrogen, cyano, C 1 -C 10 alkyl optionally substituted with cyano or hydroxy, C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, C S -C 7 cycloalkyl or phenyl and benzyl both optionally substituted with halogen, cyano, or methoxy; and R 6 represents hydrogen or C 2 -C 6 alkenyl; provided that at least one of the groups R 4 , R 5 and R 6 represents other than hydrogen is disclosed.
A method for controlling undesirable vegetation characterised in that it comprises applying to the locus where the control is desired such a composition or the components thereof is also disclosed. A method for extending the soil life of such a thiolcarbamate characterised in that it comprises applying to soil containing the thiolcarbamate or to which the thiolcarbamate is to be applied an effective amount of such an amine is further disclosed.
