Abstract: Isoxazolines of the general formula I ##STR1## where the substituents have the following meanings: R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, or a saturated or unsaturated 5- or 6-membered heterocycle;R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or benzyl andR.sup.7 is substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkenyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkenyl, phenyl, naphthyl or thienyl,processes for their manufacture, and their use.

Abstract: Dioxazocine derivatives, their preparation and composition containing them, said derivatives being represented by the formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen or alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms,R.sub.2 represents alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, andn is equal to 0 or 1,and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof formed with an inorganic or organic acid.Two different reactions are described for making these compounds. They can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions in the usual manner and exhibit central nervous system affecting activities.

Abstract: A transparent window member for a tape cassette, which together with a reel pressure spring, forms a subassembly of the cassette. The reel pressure spring has a U-shaped central portion, the bight of the U being parallel to the plane of the spring arms, and the reel pressure spring having a longitudinal edge with two transverse slits spaced the same as the legs of the U of the central portion of the pressure spring. The central portion may thus be transversely inserted in the longitudinal edge of the window member and it thus forms a locating element for the pressure spring.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of finely divided acicular hexagonal ferrites which have a high coercive force and are of the general formula MFe.sub.12 O.sub.19, where M is barium or strontium, and their use for the production of magnetic recording media and plastoferrites.

Abstract: A novel process for the preparation of 4,5-dihydrodithieno[3,4-b:3',4'-e]azepine-5,9-dione is described.

Abstract: Hard, fracture-resistant catalysts are prepared from zeolites of the pentasil family by a process in which water, organic additives which increase the viscosity and a silicate are added to the zeolite powder, and the material is molded, dried and calcined.The fracture-resistant zeolites obtained are used as catalyst carriers.

Abstract: Organic materials which contain from 0.001 to 10% by weight of an aminoreductone I ##STR1## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are H, methyl or ethyl and R.sup.4 is the radical of a naturally occurring .alpha.- or .beta.-aminoacid or of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 -alkyl ester thereof or, in the case of an .alpha.-aminoacid, a lactone having a 2--OH group in the cyclohexenone ring, or R.sup.4 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 -alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by --OH, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -acyloxy, or is --(CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.n H, which may be etherified with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanol or esterified with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -fatty acid, and where n is from 2 to 10, or a mineral salt thereof.Novel compounds Ia differ from I in having the radical R.sup.4a, where R.sup.4a is R.sup.4 with the exception of methyl. Compounds I are prepared by reacting the corresponding 2,3-dihydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one with an amine HN(R.sup.3)R.sup.4 or a mineral acid salt thereof.
