Abstract: The present invention provides 6,8-Dimercaptooctanoic acid derivatives substituted at the 6-S and/or 8-S position with the (3-methylthiopropanoyl) radical, wherein they correspond to the following formula (I): ##STR1## in which: R represents OR.sub.3 or ##STR2## R.sub.3 representing a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkyl radical, or a radical of the formula ##STR3## n being an integer from 1 to 10 and r' and r", which are identical or different, representing a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkyl radical or, taken together, form with the nitrogen atom, a nitrogen-containing heterocycle optionally substituted with an optionally substituted oxygen or nitrogen atom,R.sub.5 and R.sub.4, identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl radical,R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which are identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom, a radical --COCH.sub.3 or a radical of formula:--CO(CH.sub.2).sub.2 SCH.sub.3 (II)with the proviso that at least one of the radicals R.sub.1 or R.sub.

Abstract: A compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represent a hydrocarbon gp which can be substituted and/or carry a heteroatom, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together represent a hydrocarbon, optionally substituted, forming with the carbon atom to which they are attached, a ring capable of carrying a heteroatom, R.sub.3 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl or aryl, and R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 each independently represent hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group, as well as the acid addition salts thereof. A method of preparing the compounds and the use thereof as an anti-tumor medicine are disclosed.

Abstract: .alpha.,.delta.-Diethylenic carbonyl compounds of the formula ##STR1## are made by an oxy-Cope rearrangement of an acetylenic alcohol of the formula ##STR2## in the presence of a catalyst based on a metal of Group Ib of the periodic table or palladium. In the formulae (I) and (II), R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4, which may be identical or different, each denote a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon radical R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 being capable together of forming an alkylene radical (--CH.sub.2 --).sub.n in which one or more carbon atoms may be substituted by one or more alkyl radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, n is 3 to 20 inclusively and R.sub.5 denotes a hydrogen atom.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of .delta.-ethylenic carbonyl compounds of the formula: ##STR1## by the oxy-Cope rearrangement of a diethylenic alcohol of the formula: ##STR2## in which the transformation is carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of a divalent palladium compound.In the depicted formulae R.sub.1, R.sub.4 and R.sub.6 each represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon radical, R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom and R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 each represent a hydrocarbon radical, or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together represent an alkylene radical (--CH.sub.2 --).sub.n (wherein n is an integer from 3 to 20 inclusive) in which one or more carbon atoms can optionally carry as substituent(s) one or more alkyl radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms.The carbonyl products are useful as starting materials for the preparation of compounds intended for use in pharmacy, in agriculture or perfumery.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of .delta.-ethylenic carbonyl compounds of the formula (I) by the oxy-Cope rearrangement of a diethylenic alcohol of the formula (II), in the presence of a mercuric salt: in formulae (I) and (II), R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6, which are identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom or an acyclic hydrocarbon radical and R.sub.3 represents an acyclic hydrocarbon radical, it being understood that R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 can together form a trimethylene radical, or alternatively that R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 can together form an alkylene radical containing 3 to 20 carbon atoms.
