Abstract: The present invention provides new chemical compounds, N-(4-phenyl-2-thiazolyl)carbamate derivatives, a process for preparing the same and pharmaceutical compositions containing the carbamate derivatives. More particularly, the present invention provides N-(4-phenyl-2-thiazolyl)carbamate derivatives which have immuno-modulating activity and are thus effective against immunodiseases such as chronic rheumatoid arthritis and also useful against viral diseases or for the immunotherapy of cancers with low toxicity.

Abstract: A process for efficiently preparing 1-(2-tetrahydrofuryl)-5-fluorouracil useful as an antitumor agent or an antiviral agent which comprises reacting 5-fluorouracil with 2,3-dihydrofuran. This reaction proceeds advantageously in the presence of a reaction accelerator such as a Lewis acid in a polar solvent such as pyridine.

Abstract: A metallic tone coating composition which comprises a coating resin, a polymer-encapsulated metal powder containing a metal component in an amount between 0.1 part by weight and 50 parts by weight, inclusive per 100 parts by weight of the coating resin and a solvent or dispersion medium. This coating composition is excellent in stability and provides a coating film with excellent film characteristics including excellent durability and beautiful appearance.

Abstract: A metallic tone powder coating composition of acrylic resin series which prises a polymer-capsulated metal powder composite material wherein a vinyl monomer is chemically combined with a powder of a metal such as aluminum and a copolymer having a glass transition temperature of at least 20.degree. C wherein the sum of an acrylic ester and a methacrylic ester is at least 30% by weight of the total monomer constituting the copolymer. This powder coating composition provides a coating film having excellent weather-resistance and beautiful appearance and is suited for use in electrostatic powder spraying.

Abstract: A reinforcing composition for mineral structures which comprises as reactive ingredients one or more radical-polymerizable or copolymerizable monomer and a bisulfite ion-supplying substance. The use of the reinforcing composition facilitates reinforcement of natural or artificial mineral structures and products.
