Abstract:
Beta acids, separated from hop extracts, are purified prior to hydrogenolysis by mixing with an aqueous solution of polyvalent metal ions, preferably edible ions such as magnesium or calcium ions, separating the aqueous beta acids from insoluble materials containing catalyst poisons, and recovering the thus-purified beta acids which are catalyst-poison free and in a form suitable for hydrogenolysis to 4-desoxy alpha acids.
Abstract:
This invention relates to antiviral compositions, a process for producing the compositions and a method for inhibiting viruses utilizing the compositions. More particularly, the compositions are halogenated chamigrenes extracted from sea hares which diet upon red algae.
Abstract:
A distillable liquid containing non-volatile impurities is freed of those impurities by boiling the liquid to form vapors of the liquid, passing the vapors through a packed column heated to a temperature such that liquid entrained in the vapors is completely vaporized and the non-volatile impurities remain in the packed column, and condensing the vapors from the column.
Abstract:
A method for the production of p-methoxybenzaldehyde by the vapor-phase catalytic oxidation of p-methoxytoluene, which method comprises cooling and condensing a mixed gas formed by said reaction of oxidation thereby preparing a solution containing p-methoxybenzaldehyde, treating said solution in the presence of at least one alkali selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal compound and an ammonium compound soluble in water and alkaline in nature, and subsequently distilling the resultant treated solution.
Abstract:
Ketones or aldehydes containing one or more carbon-carbon double bonds and a carbonyl group conjugated with at least one double bond are hydrolyzed by the action of heat and pressure in the presence of water. The ketone or aldehyde cleaves at the double bond conjugated with the carbonyl group to produce additional carbonyl-containing compounds.
Abstract:
Cobalt values are removed from the crude product of a cobalt-catalyzed hydroformylation reaction by contacting the product with stripping gas to entrain volatile cobalt compounds, in the presence of water or aqueous acid to dissolve cobalt values not so entrained.
Abstract:
A fluorinated carbonyl compound ##STR1## where x is 2 or 3 and A represents CF.sub.3 or H, coexisting with hydrogen fluoride in a mixed gas is purified by first adjusting the temperature of the mixed gas to 100.degree.-300.degree. C. to cause decomposition of a usually coexisting complex of the fluorinated compound with HF and then bringing the hot mixed gas into contact with concentrated sulfuric acid maintained at 10.degree.-40.degree. C. Almost the entire amount of HF is absorbed in sulfuric acid and subsequently recovered, while the purified compound neither dissolves in sulfuric acid nor reacts with HF present in sulfuric acid.
Abstract:
The compound 5-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-heptanone (sitophilure) having the structural formula ##STR1## has been identified as an aggregation pheromone for both males and females of grain weevils belonging to the genus Sitophilus. The compound and compositions containing the same are useful tools for the monitoring and control of these major agricultural pests of stored grain.
Abstract:
Crude hexafluoroacetone (HFA) containing chlorofluoroacetone(s) (CFA) as well as hydrogen halide(s) is purified by initially allowing the crude HFA to be absorbed in water to give an aqueous solution in which HFA and CFA are in the form of their respective hydrates, adding a calcium compound such as carbonate, hydroxide or oxide to the solution to neutralize the hydrogen halide(s), and decomposing the hydrated CFA by first adding an alkali metal compound such as K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 or Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 or an alkaline earth metal compound such as Ca(OH).sub.2, Ba(OH).sub.2, CaO or BaO to the solution and subsequently adding a mineral acid such as HCl or H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 to the same solution. This procedure results in complete decomposition of CFA without causing decomposition of HFA and spontaneous separation of the liquid reaction system into two layers, one of which is exclusively HFA hydrate. Accordingly it is easy to separate pure HFA hydrate from the decomposed impurities.
