Abstract: (10'R)-Zearalanone is prepared from (10'S)-zearalenone by opening the lactone ring of the zearalenone in an alkaline medium to provide a hydroxy acid, esterifying the hydroxy acid to provide a hydroxy ester, tosylating the hydroxy ester, reacting the tosyl ester with a tetraalkyl ammonium alkyl ester to invert the (S) structure to the (R) structure, and reforming and hydrogenating the lactone to provide (10'R)-zearalanone. (10'R)-Zearalanone, when present in admixture with (10'S)-zearalanone, enhances the uterotropic activity of the latter compound.

Abstract: The high-melting diastereoisomer of zearalanol or derivative thereof is prepared by heating its corresponding low-melting diastereoisomer under dehydrogenating conditions in the presence of a Raney nickel catalyst and under an oxygen-free atmosphere, and then subjecting the solution to reducing conditions under a hydrogen atmosphere at elevated pressure.

Abstract: An improved process for recovering 1-glutamic acid from an aqueous solution containing it by the steps of adjusting the pH of the solution to about 4.5, at ambient temperature, holding at that pH until crystals of 1-glutamic acid begin to appear, heating to from 47.degree. to about 55.degree.C, adjusting the pH to 3.2, cooling, and recovering the crystals resulting therefrom.
