Abstract: Condensation of the addition product of glyoxylic acid and amides with hydroxyaryl compounds is effected by a first step, wherein the reaction is carried out hot, at a temperature below 60.degree. C, of an aliphatic amide having at the most 4 carbon atoms selected from the group of acetamide, chloracetamide, propionamide, acrylamide and butyramide, on an aqueous solution of glyoxylic acid. Then in a second step, after the addition of acetic acid and gaseous hydrochloric acid, condensation is effected at a temperature below 35.degree. C of the carboxamidoglycolic acid with an excess reaching 500% of hydroxyaryl compound selected from the group comprising phenol and its alkyl derivatives, their halogen derivatives, polyphenols and their ethers and betanaphthol. After the condensation of said second step, the volatile products are removed by vacuum distillation.

Abstract: This is an improved process of manufacturing N-acyl derivatives of glycines .alpha.-substituted by radicals with an aromatic nature by condensation of the addition product of glyoxylic acid and an amide, with an aromatic compound. In a first stage, the reaction is carried out at low temperature, in a concentrated sulfuric medium, of an aliphatic nitrile of the formula R--C.tbd.N in which R is a radical selected from the group of substituted and unsubstituted, saturated and unsaturated alkyl radicals, with a concentrated aqueous solution of glyoxylic acid. Then in a second stage, the mixture obtained is condensed also at low temperature with a compound of aromatic nature not including a hydroxyl group and having at least one substitutable free hydrogen, and the resulting product is collected. The concentrated sulfuric acid may be supplemented with acetic acid during the second stage. A surface active agent may be also added in this stage.

Abstract: The method is for manufacturing imidazoles corresponding to the general formula: ##STR1## in which R represents hydrogen or an alkyl radical of 1 to 17 carbon atoms. Glyoxal is condensed with an aliphatic aldehyde and ammonia, in a hydroalcoholic medium at a pH comprised between 6 and 8. The glyoxal is in the form of its bisulfite combination and the ammonia being supplied by an ammonium salt of a weak acid.

Abstract: Bis(hydroxyphenyl)-alkanoic acid esters the phenyl radicals of which are alkylated twice are prepared by alkylation of corresponding compounds carrying one alkyl radical at the nucleus, using isobutylene as alkylating agent. The alkanoic acid esters are obtained in crystalline form and are suitable as stabilizers for polyolefins.

Abstract: The invention relates to new industrial chemical compounds imparting anti-soiling properties on cellulose and synthetic fabrics said compounds having the general formula: ##STR1## IN WHICH A is a radical resulting from the removal of at least three atoms of hydrogen replaceable by methylols on atoms of nitrogen of a compound capable of supplying aminoplasts; R.sub.1 is either a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or acyl radical comprising less than 4 atoms of carbon; R.sub.2 is an aliphatic alkyl or acyl radical comprising at least 10 atoms of carbon or aliphatic alkyl or acyl radical comprising at least 10 atoms of carbon or an alkyl radical comprising at least 2 atoms of carbon and at least one halogen substituent; R.sub.3 is a radical resulting from the removal of a hydroxyl from the alcohol group of the addition product of 5 to 30 molecules of identical or different alkylene oxides on an alcohol or an acid; and m, n and p are equal to or greater than 1.

Abstract: A method of preparation of 6-aza uracile, comprising the steps of:A. Cyclization of semi-carbazone of glyoxylic acid by heating this latter with an excess of a trialkyl-silylation agent taken as a solvent and isolating the resulting product, namely the O-disilylated derivative of 6-aza uracile (or di-3,5 (trialkylsiloxy)1,2,4 triazine) andB. subjection of the product resulting from step a) to an acid hydrolysis.

Abstract: A process of production of linear, water-soluble polymers and co-polymers of very high molecular weight in powder form, from monomers which are themselves soluble in water comprises operating in emulsion with an inversion of phase during the course of the operation with, as solvent, a hydrocarbon giving with water an azeotrope boiling at a temperature lower than 100.degree.C, and with, as emulsifying agent, a non-ionic emulsifying agent having a H.L.B between 8 and 13 in a proportion of 1.5 to 5 % of the total weight of the monomers and the solvents, initiating the polymerization at a temperature lower than 35.degree.C by adding the quantity of initiator of the Redox type to the whole of the reactants and especially carrying out the polymerization in a closed vessel without external cooling, until the maximum temperature is reached.

Abstract: An improvement to the process for preparing a polyhydric alcohol bromohydrin from the group consisting in the polymethylol-alkanes, penta-erythritols, amino-substituted polyhydric alcohols by the action of hydrobromic acid on the said polyhydric alcohol, consisting of effecting the reaction in an acetic medium with an aqueous solution of hydrobromic acid, eliminating the water during the course of the reaction by distillation of a water-acetic acid mixture rich in water, by means of an apparatus comprising a distillation column adapted to extract vapours at a temperature lower than 103.degree.C, collecting the resultant product, subjecting this latter to a transesterification reaction with a monohydric-alcohol of low molecular weight from the methanol group, and subjecting said product to a purification treatment.
