Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing 5-nitro-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalinone, 1,5-naphthalenediamine and 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, in which 4-(2-nitrophenyl)-n-butyronitrile is converted to 4-(2-nitrophenyl)-n-butyric acid.
Abstract:
Aromatic compounds having one or more electron-withdrawing substituents are fluorinated, preferably in a nitromethane solvent, by contact with tri(halo- or trifluoromethyl) substituted N-fluorotriazinium salts of the following Formula I: wherein three A moieties are independently CR, where each R is independently halogen or trifluoromethyl; two A moieties are independently Z, where each Z is independently nitrogen or a quaternary nitrogen atom and Y is a counterion or group of counterions which are inert to chemical attack by fluorine. Preferably the cation of the salt is 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazinium.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a process for preparing 5-fluorooxindole represented by the formula (3): 1 which comprises (A) a first step of cyclizing 2-(5-fluoro-2-nitrophenyl)malonic acid diester represented by the formula (1) : 2 wherein R1 and R2 may be the same or different from each other and each represents a group which does not participate in the reaction, under reductive conditions to form 5-fluorooxindole-3-carboxylic acid ester represented by the formula (2): 3 wherein R1 has he same meaning as defined above, and (B) then, a second step of decarboxylating the 5-fluorooxindole-3-carboxylic acid ester, and a process for preparing its synthetic intermediates.
Abstract:
An osmium-assisted process for the oxidative cleavage of oxidizable organic compounds such as unsaturated organic compounds, including alkenes and olefins into aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, or ketones. The process uses a metal catalyst comprising osmium and a peroxy compound selected from the group consisting of peroxymonosulfuric acid and salts thereof to oxidatively cleave the oxidizable organic compound. In particular, the process enables aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, or ketones to be selectively produced from the corresponding mono-, 1,1-di-, 1,2-di-, tri-, or tetra-substituted olefins in a reaction that produces the result of ozonolysis but with fewer problems. The present invention further provides a process for oxidizing an aldehyde alone or with the osmium in an interactive solvent to produce an ester or carboxylic acid.
Abstract:
A process is described for preparing isoxazoles of the formula I 1 where the substituents are as defined below: R1 is hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl, R2 is C1-C6-alkyl, R3, R4, R5 are hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl, or R4 and R5 together form a bond, R6 is a heterocyclic ring, n is 0, 1 or 2; which comprises preparing an intermediate of the formula VI 2 where R1, R3, R4 and R5 are as defined above, followed by halogenation, thiomethylation, oxidation and acylation to give compounds of the formula I. Also novel intermediates for preparing the compounds of the formula I and novel processes for preparing the intermediates are described.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of an allylic aromatic compound in which an aromatic amine is reacted first with a nitrite and then with an allylic olefin having an eliminatable terminal substituent. Novel allylic derivatives of disubstituted benzene compounds are also described.
Abstract:
A process for preparing 2-chloro-4-nitroalkylbenzenes is provided which comprises a ring chlorination of 4-nitroalkylbenzenes with elemental chlorine or chlorine-releasing compounds in liquid phase and in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts and specific sulphur-containing aromatic compounds as co-catalysts.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for making propargylic alcohols by zinc-mediated catalytic, asymmetric addition of acetylenes to aldehydes. The compounds are represented by formula I:
Abstract:
The family of dyes of the invention are fluoresceins and rhodols that are directly substituted on one or more aromatic carbons by fluorine. These fluorine-substituted fluorescent dyes possess greater photostability and have lower sensitivity to pH changes in the physiological range of 6-8 than do non-fluorinated dyes, exhibit less quenching when conjugated to a substance, and possess additional advantages. The dyes of the invention are useful as detectable tracers and for preparing conjugates of organic and inorganic substances.
