Abstract: A process for producing 3-[1'-(R)-hydroxyethyl]-4-acyloxyazetidinone from 3-[1'-(R)-hydroxyethyl]-4-alkyl (or aryl) thioazetidinone using a copper salt of aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid is disclosed. The process is an effective route for producing 3-[1'-(R)-hydroxyethyl]-4-acyloxyazetidinone, and intermediate for synthesizing penems or carbapenems, without using a mercury salt which can cause an environmental hazard.

Abstract: A cathodic sediment type of electrodeposition paint composition which consists of an aqueous medium, a resinous binder dissolved or dispersed therein and an accelerating catalyst. The resinous binder is an acid neutralized reaction mixture of a first and a second component in a weight ratio of 99 to 20 parts of the first component to 1 to 80 parts of the second component. The first component is an addition material of a polybutadiene terminating in an epoxy group and a primary or secondary amino compound. The second component is an addition material of an epoxy resin and a primary or secondary amino compound. The accelerating catalyst is selected from the group consisting of an oleosoluble organic acid salt of a transition metal, the metal in turn being selected from the group consisting of iron, vanadium and titanium.

Abstract: A continuous cyclic process for production of calcium hypochlorite wherein an aqueous solution saturated with calcium hypochlorite and sodium chloride is chlorinated by using chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride crystals and an aqueous chlorinated reaction mixture, the formed sodium chloride crystals being then separated from said aqueous chlorinated reaction mixture. First sodium hydroxide is added to the foregoing aqueous solution which solution also contains calcium hypochlorite and sodium chloride in the crystal phase. Then calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide is further added to the aqueous chlorinated reaction mixture remaining after separation of said crystals therefrom. This mixture containing calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide is again chlorinated with chlorine gas to produce a slurry containing mainly sodium chloride crystals, calcium hypochlorite crystals and a mother liquor saturated with calcium hypochlorite and sodium chloride.
