Abstract: Products are described which can be obtained by reacting components a), b) and c), where component a) is a compound of the formula I or a mixture of compounds of the formula I, component b) is a compound of the formula II or a mixture of compounds of the formula II and component c) is a compound of the formula III or a mixture of compounds of the formula III, ##STR1## in which the general symbols are as defined in claim 1, the compound of the formula I being, for example, pentaerythritol, thiodiethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,4-propanediol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, diethanolamine or glycerol, the compound of the formula II being, for example, sunflower oil or coconut fat, and the compound of the formula III being, for example, methyl 3-(3',5'-di-tert-butyl-4'-hydroxyphenyl)propionate. The abovementioned products can be used as liquid antioxidants in polymers and lubricants.

Abstract: Mepiquat chloride is formed from the reaction between N-methylpiperidine and chloromethane in an anhydrous liquid solvent selected from the group consisting of acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, isopropanol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide and methylene chloride in the absence of sodium hydroxide. Mepiquat chloride precipitates as a solid of high purity and is recovered under a substantially moisture-free atmosphere.The solid mepiquat chloride can be sealed into a water soluble pouch or into a water soluble encapsulated solid form (e.g., granule, pellet, or briquette) for convenient handling. The pouch contains powdered mepiquat chloride or the encapsulated solid is merely introduced directly into a spray tank or reservoir for application with low human exposure and no containers in contact with the mepiquat chloride that require disposal.Mepiquat chloride is used as a component of a system for growing a number of commodity plants including cotton.

Abstract: The invention relates to new arylsulphonamides of the formula ##STR1## (wherein A, B and R.sub.1 to R.sub.6 are as defined in claim 1, the enantiomers, the cis- and trans-isomers thereof where R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together represent a carbon-carbon bond, and the addition salts thereof, more particularly for pharmaceutical use the physiologically acceptable addition salts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, if R.sub.6 represents a hydroxy group) which have useful pharmacological properties, particularly antithrombotic activities and thromboxane-mediating activities. Furthermore, the new compounds are also thromboxane antagonists (TRA) and thromboxane synthesis inhibitors (TSH). They also have an effect on PGE.sub.2 production.
