Abstract:
The object of the present invention is the use of compounds designed to inhibit the activity of the enzyme 5α-reductase. This is a novel use of compounds of general formula (I): CH3(—CH═CH)n—R (I) where n=from 2 to 7, and R is chosen from among: CHO, CH2OH, CH2O—CO—R′, CO—O(−), where R′ is chosen from among H, and the alky from C1 to C22, each compound of general formula (I) being used as such or in mixtures with other compounds, as the active principle in a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition designed to inhibit the action of the enzyme 5α-reductase, and of the pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions deriving therefrom.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process of a cis/trans isomerization of an unsaturated compound A being selected from the group consisting of unsaturated ketones, unsaturated ketals, unsaturated aldehydes, unsaturated acetals, unsaturated carboxylic acids, esters of an unsaturated carboxylic acid and amides of an unsaturated carboxylic acid using nitrogen monoxide as cis/trans isomerization catalyst. It has been observed that the isomerization is very efficient and fast.

Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the production of an alcohol, the process comprising (a) reacting an olefin and water in the presence of a catalyst under conditions sufficient to form a crude alcohol stream comprising alcohol, and a dialkyl ether; (b) separating at least a portion of the crude alcohol stream into an alcohol-containing stream and a dialkyl ether stream; (c) contacting at least a portion of the dialkyl ether stream with an ether decomposition catalyst, the ether decomposition catalyst comprising a mixed metal oxide having the following composition XmYnZpOq where X is at least one metal selected from Group 4 of the Periodic Table of Elements, Y is at least one metal selected from Group 3 (including the Lanthanides and Actinides) and Group 6 of the Periodic Table of Elements and Z is at least one metal selected from Groups 7, 8, and 11 of the Periodic Table of Elements; m, n, p, and q are the atomic ratios of their respective components and, when m is 1, n is from about 0.01 to about 0.75, p is from 0 to about 0.1, and q is the number of oxygen atoms necessary to satisfy the valence of the other components, to form a crude dialkyl ether decomposition stream comprising alcohol and olefin; (d) recovering at least a portion of the olefin from the crude dialkyl ether decomposition stream; and (e) recycling at least a portion of the olefin recovered in step (d) to step (a).
Abstract:
E and Z isomers of alkene alcohols and/or alkene alcohol derivatives are separated by substantially continuously contacting an ion exchange medium which is ion exchanged with silver and/or copper ions with the feed stream comprising the E and Z isomers of at least one alkene alcohol and/or at least one alkene alcohol derivative, then removing a product stream having a higher concentration of the E or Z isomer of at least one alkene alcohol or derivative of the alkene alcohol relative to the concentration of the E or Z isomer of the alkene alcohol or derivative of the alkene alcohol in the feed stream.
