Abstract: A process for the preparation of substituted urea derivatives, and compositions and concentrates for the same purpose are disclosed. According to the process the substituted urea derivatives of formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, alkoxy, oxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl, aryl or heteroaryl, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of carbamic acid phenyl esters of the formula (I) ##STR1## by acylating phenol derivatives of the formula (II) ##STR2## wherein R is alkyl having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, aryl, cycloalkyl having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, aralkyl having 7 to 16 carbon atoms which groups can be substituted by one or more alkyl groups,R.sup.1 is hydrogen, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or acylamino,R.sup.2 is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or alkoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or ifR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent alkyl and/or alkoxy, they can form together a carbocyclic ring.According to the invention the phenol derivatives of the general formula (II), wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above, are reacted with N-carbamoyl-saccharin derivatives of the formula (IV) ##STR3## wherein R has the same meaning as defined above, in the presence of a base.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing a carbamic acid phenyl ester of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, aryl, cycloalkyl having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, or aralkyl having 7 to 16 carbon atoms, wherein the aryl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl is unsubstituted or substituted by at least one alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms;R.sub.1 is hydrogen, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, cyanomethyl, 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl, or carboalkoxyamino wherein the alkoxy group contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms;R.sub.2 is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or alkoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; orR.sub.1 and R.sub.2 form together a carbocyclic ring or a heterocyclic ring fused to the phenyl ring wherein the carbocyclic ring of the heterocyclic ring is unsubstituted or substituted by at least one alkyl having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, which comprises acylating a phenol of the formula (II) ##STR2## with a compound of the formula (IV) ##STR3## in the presence of a base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of non-pyrophoric catalyst having controlledparticle size and activity comprising suspending active charcoal of homogeneous pore distribution in a diluted solution of a palladium salt or salt complex, if desired in the presence of an aliphatic alcohol, stirring the solution, filtering the catalyst coal, followed by treatment of the sorbed palladium salt or salt complex with alkali if desired and stirring it as long as required for the accumulation of the sorbed palladium compounds, reducing same by methods known, repeating the above mentioned steps, if desired any number of times and drying the obtained catalyst after washing.
