Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 1-nitroanthraquinone by oxidising 1-nitro-5,8,11,12-tetrahydroanthraquinone with oxygen, inorganic peroxo compounds or metal oxides.
Abstract:
A process is provided for removing impurities from the gaseous product of an alkyl nitrite production zone by contacting a portion of it with lower alcohol and oxygen to convert substantially all of the nitric oxide in that portion of the gaseous product stream to alkyl nitrite, the oxygen being present in an amount such that the mole ratio of nitric oxide to oxygen is in the range of about 4:1 to about 2:1 and the lower alcohol being present in the reaction zone such that the mole ratio of nitric oxide to lower alcohol is about 1:1 or less. A recovery stream, comprising alkyl nitrite substantially free of nitric oxide, is withdrawn from the reaction zone and at least a portion of the alkyl produced in the reaction zone is removed. A least a portion of the balance of the recovery stream from which the alkyl nitrite has been removed is purged, thereby removing impurities from the process.
Abstract:
A process for the halogenation (bromination or chlorination)/nitration/fluorination of aromatic derivatives substituted by at least one group containing a halogenoalkyl unit. The aromatic derivative is reacted with a halogen and a nitrating agent in liquid hydrofluoric acid. The products obtained are useful as intermediates for the synthesis of compounds having a plant-protecting or pharmaceutical activity.

Abstract:
The chlorophenols, e.g., 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, are efficiently prepared by chlorinating an ortho-/para-substituted phenolic compound with gaseous chlorine, whether in molten state or in a solvent reaction medium, in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a primary, secondary or tertiary amine.
Abstract:
The present invention provides 5-arylalkyl-4-alkoxy-2(5H)-furanones of the formula: ##STR1## wherein the oxygen atoms on C-5 and C-.alpha., relative to one another, are in the threo-position, with the exclusion of those compounds of the formula (I) wherein R.sup.2 is H or CH.sub.3 when n=0 or 2, R.sup.o =H, R.sup.1 =CH.sub.3, R.sup.3 =H and R.sup.4 =H.The present invention also provides processes for their preparation, as well as new 3-alkoxy-5-(subst.)-phenyl-2(E), 4(E)-pentadienoates as reactive intermediates for the preparation of the new furanone derivatives.The new furanone derivatives of the threo series are active as anticonvulsives/anti-epileptics. Therefore, the present invention also provides medicaments which contain these new furanone derivatives, as well as known furanones, the anticonvulsive/anti-epileptic effectiveness of which has been found for the first time.
