3-Hydroxy-.alpha.-cyclocitral derivatives of the general formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is ##STR2## wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 can be identical or different and are each straight-chain or branched alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together form an ethylene or propylene group which can be substituted by methyl or ethyl, processes for their preparation and their use for the preparation of safranal and 3-hydroxy-.beta.-cyclocitral, as well as optically active - cyclocitral derivatives of the general formulae A and B ##STR3## where R.sup.1 is ##STR4## if X is hydrogen and Y is OH, but is otherwise ##STR5## where R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 have the above meanings, and X and Y together are oxygen, or X is hydrogen if Y is OH, and a process for the preparation of optically active 3-oxo-.alpha.-cyclocitral acetals, wherein a mixture of the corresponding racemic 3-oxo-.alpha.-cyclocitral acetals is separated into the optically active compounds by chromatography over a suitable chiral adsorbent. The novel compounds open up a novel advantageous route to optically active 3-hydroxy-.beta.-cyclocitrals, which are desirable because they are important intermediates for carotinoids identical to the natural products.

Esters of optically active 2-arylalkanoic acids I ##STR1## where Ar is an isocyclic or heterocyclic aryl radical and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, are prepared by subjecting an optically active ester II ##STR2## where X is Cl, Br or --O--SO.sub.2 --Y and Y is Cl or a hydrocarbon radical, to a Friedel-Crafts reaction with an aromatic compound ArH (III).
摘要:
Nutraceutical compositions comprise biotin in an amount sufficient to administer to a subject a daily dosage of 0.01 mg per kg body weight to about 3 mg per kg body weight and at least one additional component selected from pantethine or a metabolite thereof, EGCG, phytanic acid, lipoic acid and policosanol. The compositions are useful for the treatment of both type 1 and 2 diabetes, and for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in those individuals with pre-diabetes, or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or obesity.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of 1,2-propanediol by catalytic hydrogenation of glycerol at elevated temperature and elevated pressure, which comprises using glycerol having a water content of up to 20% by weight and a catalyst comprising the metals cobalt, copper, manganese and molybdenum in amounts of, based on the total weight of the catalyst,from 40 to 70% by weight of cobalt,from 10 to 20% by weight of copper,from 0 to 10% by weight of manganese andfrom 0 to 10% by weight of molybdenum,where this catalytically active material may additionally contain inorganic polyacids and/or heteropolyacids in an amount of up to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the catalyst.
摘要:
Salts of riboflavin 5'-phosphate which are obtained by phosphorylation of riboflavin and reaction of the resulting riboflavin 5'-phosphate (5'-FMN), contaminated with unconverted riboflavin and isomeric riboflavin monophosphates and diphosphates, with an alkali metal hydroxide or a nitrogen base are purified by a process in which(a) a roughly 1-15% strength by weight homogeneous, clear, aqueous 5'-FMN salt solution having a pH of from 4 to 7 is prepared from the crude 5'-FMN obtained in the phosphorylation, water and the alkali metal hydroxide or the nitrogen base, preferably sodium hydroxide solution, if necessary with heating at from 30.degree. to 100.degree. C.,(b) the resulting solution is treated with a suitable polymeric adsorber resin and(c) the 5'-FMN salt substantially freed from unconverted riboflavin is isolated from the resulting solution and, if desired, the solution is fed to a subsequent fine purification.Treatment with the suitable polymeric adsorber resin is advantageously carried out in a column filled with adsorber resin. The subsequent fine purification can be effected by evaporative crystallization or by chromatographing a 5'-FMN solution, containing from 1 to 15% by weight of dry substance, in water or in a mixture of water and a lower aliphatic alcohol, having a pH of from 4 to 7, in a minimum amount of from 5 to 50% of the bed volume of the column over RP silica gel derivatized with alkyl groups, using water, or a mixture of water and a lower aliphatic alcohol, as the eluant. Preparative chromatography of 5'-FMN salts over derivatized RP silica gel using water, or a mixture of water and a lower aliphatic alcohol, as the solvent and eluant is also claimed independently of pretreatment with the suitable adsorber resin.

Alkyl-substituted aromatic ketones are prepared by reacting alkylbenzenes with carboxylic anhydrides in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst by performing the reaction in the presence of a tertiary amine or diamine.
摘要:
Aryl ether ketones of the general formula I ##STR1## where n is from 0 to 5,X is ##STR2## and Y is tert-butyl, acetyl, benzyl, benzoyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl or, in the case of n=0, H,and the ring-substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkoxy, aryl, chlorine or fluorine derivatives thereof are useful for preparing highly heat-resistant polyaryl ether ketones.
