Abstract:
A new organophotoconductor comprising a conductive substrate, a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer wherein the charge generation layer comprises a bisazo compound and a squarylium compound as the charge generation material. The organophotoconductor exhibits high sensitivity, low residual potential and improved durability and reproducibility.
Abstract:
A method for resolving racemic dimethyl-4,4'-dimethoxy-5,6,5',6'-di(methylenedioxy)biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate ("DDB"), in which a chiral .alpha.-alkyl benzyl alcohol is used as the resolving agent. More specifically, racemic DDB is first hydrolyzed to form dicarboxylic acid, which is then reacted with chiral .alpha.-alkyl benzyl alcohol to form two chiral isomers. The chiral isomers, after separation either by chromatography or by recrystalli-zation, are respectively hydrogenated and esterified to form chiral DDB isomers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel compounds of formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, hydroxy or alkoxy; R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be hydrogen or alkyl; and n is 0,1 or 2; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The invention also relates to the processes for preparing the compounds of formula (I), and the pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use as a low density lipoprotein peroxidation inhibitors, anti-atherosclerotic agents and/or antihyperlipidemic agents.
