Abstract: Processes for the preparation of high purity alkyl esters of polyene macrolide antibiotics are disclosed. The processes involve treating an amphoteric polyene macrolide antibiotic with an aldehyde to yield the corresponding Schiff base which is soluble in the reaction medium. The solution is then treated with an alkylating agent in the presence of a hindered tertiary amine as acid acceptor to yield the alkyl ester of the polyene macrolide antibiotic in the form of its Schiff base derivative. Contacting this derivative with water converts the Schiff base derivative to the desired alkyl ester of the polyene macrolide antibiotic which is recovered from the reaction medium.

Abstract: A process for the regioselective N-alkylation of 2-alkyl-5,6,7 or 8-substituted-4(3H)-quinazolinones in the presence of lithium salts.

Abstract: The invention is the simultaneous addition of boron tribromide and a solution of [R-(R*,R*)]-5-(3-chlorophenyl-3-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2- oxazolidinone in methylene chloride to methylene chloride while maintaining a constant ratio of 2.10:1.00 of boron tribromide to the substrate [R-(R*,R*)]-5-(3-chlorophenyl-3-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2- oxazolidinone at a temperature of -5.degree. C. to 10.degree. C. gives [R-(R*,R*)]-5-(3-chlorophenyl-3-[2-(3,4-hydroxyoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2 -oxazolidinone in an isolated yield of 86.7% and a purity of 98.7%.

Abstract: A novel process for producing 2-alkyl-3,5,6,7 or 8-substituted-4 (3H)-quinazolinones of the formula: ##STR1## where R, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are defined in the specification by reacting the appropriately N-acyl substituted aminobenzoic acids with ethylchloroformate followed by further reaction with ammonia or a primary amine.

Abstract: In chemical light devices comprising a chemi-luminescent mixture with a first fluorescer contained in a transparent or translucent container, a second fluorescer is incorporated in the walls of the container to shift at least part of the emissions from the device from the shorter wavelength emission of the first fluorescer to a longer wavelength emission of the second fluorescer. The second fluorescer has an absorption spectrum substantially overlapping the emission spectrum of the first fluorescer. The shift is usually about 20 to 100 nanometers and may be as much as 200 nanometers.

Abstract: Water-soluble sulfonated rubrenes are used as fluorescer components in water-soluble chemiluminescent mixtures and particularly in combination with a water-soluble amide of oxalic acid which reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce chemiluminescence.

Abstract: An improved single-pot process for synthesis of 3,5,6-trichlorosalicylic acid and esters thereof is described. Salicylic acid is chlorinated first in concentrated sulfuric acid and then with iodine catalyst to make the trichlorosalicylic acid which is extracted and then reacted with an alcohol to make the ester.

Abstract: N,N'-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)oxamides are described with a number of variations by substitution at the amido nitrogen atoms. These compounds when used in chemiluminescent formulations will furnish superior light intensity and quantum efficiency. Preparation of compounds and their use for chemiluminescence are described.

Abstract: Process for preparing known classes of 2-substituted azoles (I) and N-acylazolinones (II) by reacting carbon monoxide at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of a cocatalyst composition, of which 5% palladium on carbon with a Lewis acid such as ferric chloride is representative, with a nitrogenous compound (III): ##STR1## to form the products (usually in admixture): ##STR2## where R is alkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl, aryl, styrl or ##STR3## R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, halo or, when taken together on adjacent carbon atoms, -CH.dbd.CH-CH.dbd.CH-; R.sub.4 may be alkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl, aryl, styryl, ##STR4## X is oxygen, sulfur or imino, Y is alkylene, alkenylene or arylene; and Z is nitro, azo or azoxy.
