Abstract:
This disclosure relates to amphiphilic compounds containing a cyclobutene or cyclobutane moiety. In some embodiments, the compounds are useful for treating infection by Mycobacterium such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Cyclobutene containing compounds are also useful as monomers in the preparation of amphiphilic polymers.
Abstract:
The racemate of 3-fluoro-alanine, and salts thereof, are prepared by reductive amination of 3-fluoro-pyruvic acid, its hydrate, or salts thereof, via the intermediate 2-imino-3-fluoro propionic acid salt, using alkali metal borohydrides as reducing agents. The racemates thus obtained are valuable in the production of 3-fluoro-D-alanine and its pharmacologically acceptable salts, and derivatives thereof, which are potent antibacterial agents.
Abstract:
This invention relates to 11,12-secoprostaglandins and processes for their manufacture. These compounds have prostaglandin-like biological activity and are particularly useful as renal vasodilators, for the treatment of hypertension, and for the prevention of thrombus formation.

Abstract:
The invention relates to process for the continuous production of 4-chloroacetoacetyl chloride, comprising the steps of (a) feeding diketene and chlorine into a thin film reactor and (b) reacting the diketene and chlorine to obtain 4-chloroacetoacetyl chloride. The invention also relates to a process for the production of 4-chloroacetoaceticacid ester, 4-chloroacetoaceticacid amide or 4-chloroacetoaceticacid imide from 4-chloroacetoacetyl chloride obtained according to the inventive process.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a process of producing an .alpha.-ketamide as an intermediate for use in the production of various alkoxyiminoacetamide compounds which are useful as fungicides. Also disclosed is an intermediate to be used in this process.
Abstract:
Perfluorocarbonyl compounds of the formulae IV and V ##STR1## in which R.sub.f denotes perfluoroalkyl, R'.sub.f denotes perfluoroalkylene, R denotes F, Cl, perfluoroalkyl or --OR"' (R"'=alkyl, aryl or aralkyl) and n denotes a number from 0 to 10, are prepared, starting from compounds of the formula I ##STR2## in which R.sub.f, R'.sub.f and n have the same meaning as in the formulae IV and V and R" is F, Cl or perfluoroalkyl, by electrolysis in an electrolyte consisting of fluorosulfonic acid/alkali metal fluorosulfonate and, if necessary, esterification with R"'OH, and decomposition ##STR3## in the presence of catalytic amounts of alkali metal fluorides and/or aprotic N-bases. Most of the compounds IV and V are new; the latter are, above all, valuable heat transfer fluids, lubricating oils or intermediates for the preparation of other F-organic compounds.
