Hydroxy ether carboxylates represented by the formula
WHEREIN M is alkali metal, ammonium or alkanol ammonium and A is hydrogen or methyl, are useful as complexing agents and detergency builders. The ester and acid forms of such compounds are useful as intermediates for production of the salts.
摘要:
DL-Tartaric acid is produced by hydrolysis of epoxysuccinic acid in the presence of a catalyst of a metal compound of aluminum, iron, tin or bismuth. Conversion of epoxysuccinic acid as well as selectivity to dl-tartaric acid are very high.
摘要:
The nuclear hydroxylation of a nuclearly substituted aromatic acid is accomplished by treating the acid with hydrogen perioxide in the presence of a catalyst comprising a hydrogen fluoridecarbon dioxide complex at a temperature in the range of from about -10* to about 100*C. and a pressure in the range of from about ambient to about 100 atmospheres.
摘要:
A NOVEL AND SIMPLE PROCEDURE IS PROVIDED FOR SYNTHESIZING BENZILIC ACID COMPOUNDS AND PARTICULARLY, 4,4''DIHALOBENZILIC ACIDS SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, 4,4''-DIBROMOBENZILIC ACID AND 4,4''-DICHLOROBENZILIC ACID BY A NOVEL AND SIMPLE PROCEDURE INVOLVING REACTING A BIS-(SUBSTITUTED OR UNSUBSTITUTED PHENYL) ACETIC ACID WITH A HALOGENATING AGENT FOLLOWED BY HYDROLYSIS. THE BENZILIC ACID COMPOUNDS THUS PRODUCT ARE USEFUL AS INTERMEDIATES IN THE PREPARATION OF BEZILIC ACID ESTERS, THE LAST MENTIONED COMPOUNDS BEING EMPOLYED AS ACARICIDAL AND INSECTICIDAL AGENTS.
摘要:
CHLOROHYDROXY ACIDIC REAGENTS, SUCH AS CHLOROHYDROXYPROPIONIC ACID (CHP) AND CHLORINATION OF ACRYLIC ACID AND MALEIC ACIDS, RESPECTIVELY, ARE USED TO INTRODUCE CARBOXYL GROUPS INTO STARCH IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ALKALINE CATALYST. SOME OF THE RESULTING CARBOXYHYDROXY ALKYL STARCH DERIVATIVES, WHEN FURTHER MODIFIED, ARE USEFUL IN PAPER MANUFACTURE AS FILLER RETENTION AIDS. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE MODIFIED STARCHES OF THE INVENTION WILL ALSO BE USEFUL IN FOODS. CLEAVAGE OF THE ETHER LINKAGE SHOULD TAKE PLACE DURING METABOLISM, AND THE REACTION BY-PRODUCTS SHOULD INCLUDE GLYCERIC AND TARTARIC ACID, BOTH OF WHICH ARE NATURALLY OCCURRING METALBOLITES. THE STARCH DERIVATIVES MADE BY THE METHOD OF THIS INVENTION EXHIBIT ANIONIC CHARACTERISTICS, AND WHEN CHLOROHYDROXYPROPIONIC ACID REAGENT IS REACTED WITH A CATIONIC CORN STARCH, THE RESULTING PRODUCT IS A SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED FILLER RETENTION AID.
摘要:
Novel phenoxyalkanoic and phenylthioalkanoic acid derivatives of the formula wherein A is oxygen or sulphur; R is C3- 5 alkyl, cycloalkyl, e.g. cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl, cycloalkylalkyl, e.g. cyclopentylmethyl or cyclohexylmethyl, or aralkyl, e.g. benzyl, phenylethyl or phenylpropyl; X is OH, -OM (where M is an equivalent of a non-toxic cation), alkoxy or in which R1 and R2 are H or C1- 5 alkyl; X1 is H, halogen, C1- 5 alkyl or -NO2; X2 is halogen, C1- 5 alkyl, -CF3, CH3CONH- or carboxyalkoxy, e.g. -O.CH2.COOH; X3 and X4 are H, halogen, or C1- 5 alkyl and n is 1-5, are made by (a) reacting an alkanoyl halide R.CO.Halogen with the appropriate phenoxy- or phenylthioalkanoic acid, in the presence of a metallic halide; (b) reacting a 4-alkanoylphenol with a haloalkanoic acid, Halogen.CnH2n.COOH, or an ester thereof in the presence of a base and, if necessary, saponifying the product and/or acidifying to form the free acid or (c) hydrogenating a 4-(2-alkylidenealkanoyl) phenoxy- or 4 - (2 - alkylidenealkanoyl) phenylthio-alkanoic acid to its saturated derivative, thus giving products of the invention wherein R has an alkyl side chain in the a -position. The ester and amide derivatives, i.e. products, wherein X is alkoxy or may be made by conventional methods of esterification or amidation, e.g. by reacting the free acid with an alcohol or converting the acid to an acid halide and reacting with an alcohol or with ammonia or an amine. 4-Alkanoyl-phenols bearing substituents corresponding to X1, X2, X3 and X4 on the ring are made by treating an appropriately substituted anisole, phenetole or similar ether with an alkanoyl halide R.CO.Halogen in the presence of a metal halide, e.g. AlCl3 and splitting off the ether group by treating with an additional amount of AlCl3. 4 - (2 - Alkylideneacyl) - phenoxy- and 4 - (2-alkylideneacyl) - phenylthio - alkanoic acids, e.g. compounds having the structure R.C(=CH2).CO.C6H4.A.CnH2n.COOH bearing substituents X1, X2, X3 and X4 on the phenyl nucleus are made by (a) reacting a 4-alkanoylphenoxy- or 4-alkanoylphenylthio-alkanoic acid with the acid addition salt of a secondary amine and formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde to form a 2-secondaryaminomethyl-alkanoyl derivative, and treating this with a weak base such as sodium bicarbonate, or (b) acylating a phenoxy-or phenylthio-alkanoic acid with a 2-methylenealkanoic halide. Pharmaceutical preparations having diuretic activity comprise the above compounds of the invention in admixture with a carrier or excipient preferably in the form of a tablet, capsule, orally administrable or injectable solution or suspension, pill or powder.
