  • Publication number: 20030191157
    Abstract: An injectable composition comprises a benzimidazole compound having an antiulcer action and a strong alkali (e.g., an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide) in a proportion of about 1 equivalent of the latter relative to 1 mol of the former, and is substantially free from a nonaqueous solvent. The injectable composition may comprise N-methylglucamine, and a saccharide (such as mannitol). The injectable composition may be a freeze-dried preparation. The freeze-dried preparation is dissolvable in or dilutive with a distilled water for injection or an infusion solution without a nonaqueous solvent. The injectable composition is useful as an antiulcer agent.

  • Patent number: 6222047
    Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of pyrocarbonic acid diesters by an improved process and to the novel pyrocarbonic acid diesters prepared according to said process as well as to the use thereof. The core of the invention is a process for the preparation of a pyrocarbonic acid diester of formula (I) wherein R1 and R1′ are each independently of the other branched or straight-chain C1-C24alkyl, C3-C24alkenyl, C3-C24alkynyl, C4-C12cycloalkyl, C4-C12cycloalkenyl or C7-C24aralkyl, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more than one substituent which is inert under the reaction conditions, by reacting at least one ester carbonate of formula (II) with 40-50 mol % of a sulfochloride of formula (IV) in the presence of 0.
