Abstract: Disclosed herein are some methods for synthesizing the base-assisted coupling of aromatic alcohols with substituted aromatic compounds including some substituted heteroaromatic compounds such as pyrimidines or pyridines to form esters. The reactions may include inexpensive bases such as potassium hydroxide and take place in a solvent mixture comprised primarily of hindered tertiary alcohols that are at least partially immiscible with water. In some embodiments the tertiary alcohol solvents forms azeotropes with water which stabilize the formation of an alkoxide intermediate when the alkoxide formation step is heated to the boiling point of the azeotrope and water is withdrawn from the reaction mixture.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns a plant of the genus, Brassica, or parts thereof, which comprise one or more traits selected from the group consisting of high oleic acid content, low linolenic acid content, increased herbicide resistance, restorer of cytoplasmic male sterility, and increased clubroot disease (Plasmodiophora brassicae) resistance, compared to a wild-type plant of the same species. This disclosure further relates to wild-type and mutant alleles of genes involved in these traits, molecular markers linked thereto, and methods of their use.

Abstract: A termite bait includes a plurality of cellulosic food material pieces palatable to termites embedded within a water resistant polyurethane foam matrix. Another termite bait includes a plurality of cellulosic food material pieces embedded within a water-absorbent polyurethane foam matrix. Yet another termite bait includes at least one cellulosic food material piece encapsulated within a water resistant polyurethane foam coating. Such termite baits can be used alone or in a monitoring device or other termite control device. Another termite control device includes a container, a cellulosic food material within the container and a water resistant polyurethane foam positioned to separate the food material from its environment. The container can contain a termite bait as described above or can include a chamber containing a cellulosic food material and at least one pocket containing a polyurethane foam barrier to reduce intrusion of water through the pocket to the food material.
