Abstract: Disclosed are a phenoxyalkylamine represented by the following general formula I and a salt of said phenoxyalkylamine represented by the following general formula II: ##STR1## wherein R represents a linear saturated hydrocarbon having 7 to 12 carbon atoms, n is an integer of from 1 to 5, m is an integer of from 2 to 4, and HX represents a mineral acid.These compounds have strong bacteriostatic and bactericidal actions for plants with no phytotoxicity. Therefore, these compounds are effectively used as the active ingredient of an agricultural and horticultural bactericide.
Abstract: This invention relates to use of cyclodextrins to complex urushiols to protect against and to treat irritation arising from exposure to urushiols. Cyclodextrins, particularly gamma-cyclodextrins, are capable of binding strongly to urushiols and can be used effectively to prevent irritation of tissue that is exposed to urushiols.Cyclodextrin-urushiol complexes can also be used to desensitize against urushiol. Compositions containing cyclodextrin/urushiol complexes may be provided as tablets for buccal administration in dosages sufficient to induce desensitizing response.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of 8-N,N-dialkylaminotricyclo[5.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ]decane by reaction of tricyclo[5.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ]decan-8(9)-one with an amine of the formula HNR.sub.1 R.sub.2, where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each an alkyl radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, in the presence of hydrogen and a platinum-containing supported catalyst, preferably at elevated pressure and elevated temperature.
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing a nonequilibrium distribution of methylamines by the catalyzed reaction of methanol and/or dimethyl ether with ammonia and by the catalytic reforming of a methylamine containing feedstock. One process selectively affords a reaction product enriched in mono and dimethylamines and low in trimethylamine, at high conversion of methanol or dimethylether. A variation of the process effects reforming a methylamine containing feedstock, optionally containing ammonia over a catalyst. The key to achieving this low TMA selectivity at high conversion resides in the use of a microporous zeolite, preferably chabazite, catalyst having a geometric selectivity index (GSI) less about 3, a shape selectivity index (SSI) greater than about 5 and a sorption capacity for 1-PrOH of at least 0.5 mmol/g.

Abstract: An improved process for reducing the amount of at least the glycol ether byproducts formed in a process for making unsubstituted ethanolamines from the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia or in a process for making substituted ethanolamines via the reaction of ethylene oxide and a substituted amine, wherein carbon dioxide or a material which will evolve carbon dioxide is fed to a reactor for making the unsubstituted or substituted ethanolamine.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reacting polyamides or mixtures thereof with ammonia to obtain a mixture of monomers. The reaction is carried out in the presence of certain Lewis Acid catalyst precursors.
Abstract: Amines are produced in high yield by the process which comprises allowing a cyclic ketone to react with ammonia in the presence of active carbon to produce imino derivatives and then, allowing the imino derivatives to react with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenating catalyst.
Abstract: A process for making unsaturated .alpha.-amines from olefins wherein the process includes adding an aminating agent, an olefin and a molybdenum based catalyst to a reaction vessel having a nitrogen atmosphere. The catalyst may be described by the general formula LL'MoO.sub.2, L.sub.2 L'MoO.sub.2, or LL'MoO(X--Y).

Abstract: A method for selectively preparing dimethylamine and monomethylamine, while the production of trimethylamine is inhibited to a sufficiently low level. The method comprises carrying out a gaseous reaction of methanol and ammonia by the use of a mordenite modified with a silylating agent by a silylation treatment in a liquid phase. According to the present invention, recycling trimethylamine is unnecessary, and the amount of steam or the like to be used can be decreased.
Abstract: Novel compounds have been discovered that are particularly effective as nucleation accelerators or boosters when employed with hydrazide nucleators in the formulation of silver halide emulsions for lithographic film. The novel compounds contain bis ureido groups joined by an alkyleneoxy moiety or recurring alkyleneoxy moieties. The 2-nitrogen of each ureido group can carry groups comprising hydrogen, aryl, alkyl or dialkylaminoalkyl, alike or different.
