Abstract: New nitro aliphatic compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are disclosed.

Abstract: New Nitro aliphatic compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are disclosed.

Abstract: Bisamide and bisurethane bisphenols and bishaloformates are prepared by the reaction of amines with dicarboxylic acid halides or bisphenol bishaloformates. They are useful as intermediates for the preparation of cyclic heterocarbonates, which may in turn be converted to linear copolycarbonates.

Abstract: Herbicidal utility for 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones and sulfur analogs is disclosed and exemplified. Many of the disclosed compounds are novel. Methods for preparing the herbicidal compounds and intermediates therefor are also disclosed.

Abstract: A compound of the formula: ##STR1## useful as a fungicidal agent against phytopathogenic fungi, particularly their strains resistant to benzimidazole, thiophanate and/or cyclic imide fungicides.

Abstract: The present invention provides certain novel substituted naphthalenes, indoles, benzofurans, and benzothiophenes of Formula I which are useful as inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis and as inhibitors of lipoxygenase. They are thus employed wherever it is medically necessary or desirable to inhibit these systems.
