Abstract: It has been discovered that fungal foliar phytopathogens may be controlled by the use of a broad class of 2,6-dinitroanilines. The fungicidally-effective compounds may bear a broad range of substituent groups on the anilino nitrogen and in the 3- and 4-positions of the benzene ring.

Abstract: A class of novel 2-oxazolyl ureas and carbamates having anti-allergic activity are described together with methods of making such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing the active compounds of the invention.

Abstract: Certain halogenated phenylthioacetamido cephalosporanic acids and derivatives thereof, e.g., 7-[2'-(2",5"-dichlorophenylthio)acetamido]cephalosporanic acid, are effective antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus cultures which show heterogeneous resistance to methicillin.

Abstract: Novel 1,3,4-trisubstituted-4-arylpiperidines are prepared by alkylating a 2,3-disubstituted-3-arylpyrroline to afford a 1,2,3-trisubstituted-3-aryl-1-pyrrolinium salt, reacting the salt with diazomethane to provide a 1,2,3-trisubstituted-3-aryl-1,2-methylene-pyrrolidinium salt, heating the pyrrolidinium salt to effect a ring expansion to the corresponding 1,3,4-trisubstituted-4-aryl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridinium salt, neutralizing the salt and reducing the tetrahydropyridine to provide a 1,3,4-trisubstituted-4-arylpiperidine. The piperidines so formed are useful as pharmacological agents and as intermediates in the preparation of other piperidines of the invention. The compounds provided herein are especially useful as narcotic agonists analgesics and as narcotic antagonists.
