Abstract: Numerous alpha-carboxylic acids are prepared in a liquid medium by the reaction of an organic compound having at least one reactive hydroxyl or thiol group, with a monoketone, and a haloform, in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst and an alkali metal hydroxide. The term "alpha-alkoxycarboxylic acids" includes alpha-phenoxycarboxylic acids, alpha-thioalkoxycarboxylic acids and alpha-thiophenoxycarboxylic acids. Specific substituents on the beta carbon atom of an alpha-alkoxycarboxylic (or "2-alkoxycarboxylic") acid reaction product formed in this novel synthesis, are introduced by appropriate choice of the ketone reactant; alkoxy and phenoxy substituents on the alpha carbon atom of a 2-alkoxycarboxylic acid are introduced by appropriate choice of the organic compound having a hydroxyl or thiol group. De-alkoxylation of the 2-alkoxycarboxylic acid yields alpha-beta monoolefinically unsaturated carboxylic acids which are necessarily alpha substituted, and may also be beta-substituted.

Abstract: Vulcanizable rubber compositions are described which are inhibited from premature vulcanization by activated methylene di(thioethers) in which the adjacent activating groups are either carbonyl or cyano. Novel compounds are also described.

Abstract: New derivatives of 2-benzoyl-4-nitro anilides, their preparation and their use as medicaments.The new chemical derivatives of the invention have the general formula ##STR1## in which R represents a linear or branched alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group or a benzyl group,R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or a hydroxy alkyl group,R.sub.2 represents a hydroxy-alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group, possibly substituted one or more times by an alkyl radical, or a cycloalkyl group having three to six carbon atoms;R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may furthermore form, with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, a nitrogen heterocycle containing possibly a second heteroatom selected from among oxygen and nitrogen;under the condition, however, that when R.sub.2 represents a hydroxy-alkyl group R.sub.1 may not be a hydrogen atom.Use as hypnotic agents for the treatment of insomnia.

Abstract: This disclosure describes esters having prostaglandin-like activity of 15-deoxy-16-hydroxy-16-substituted-prostanoic acids formed by replacing the hydroxy group of the C.sub.1 -carboxylic acid substituent with para-acetamidophenoxy, methylsulfonylamido, para-acetylphenoxy, para-phenylphenoxy, C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 cycloalkoxy, arylalkoxy wherein the alkoxy group has from 7-12 carbon atoms, phenoxy or phenoxy substituted with 1-3 chlorine atoms or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, phenacyloxy or phenacyloxy ring-substituted with from 1-3 bromine atoms, a nitro moiety, C.sub.1-C.sub.8 arylalkyl, or arylalkoxy wherein the alkoxy group has from 7-12 carbon atoms; substituted arylamino (C.sub.1 -C.sub.12), substituted-naphthoxy, fluorenoxy, carboxyalkoxy (C.sub.5 -C.sub.
