  • Patent number: 9114390
    Abstract: An organocatalyst for oxidizing alcohols in which a primary alcohol is selectively oxidized in a polyol substrate having a plurality of alcohols under environmentally-friendly conditions. The organic oxidation catalyst has an oxygen atom bonded to a nitrogen atom of an azanoradamantane skeleton and at least one alkyl group at positions 1 and 5. The oxidation catalyst has higher activity than TEMPO, which is an existing oxidation catalyst, in the selective oxidation reaction of primary alcohols, and better selectivity than AZADO and 1-Me-AZADO. This DMN-AZADO can be applied to the selective oxidation reaction of primary alcohols that contributes to shortening the synthesizing process for pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical raw materials, agricultural chemicals, cosmetics, organic materials, and other such high value-added organic compounds.

  • Patent number: 7291185
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a both-side metallized insulation film comprises steps of: depositing zinc or a blend of zinc and aluminum onto both sides of an insulation film; and winding this metallized film into a product roll. The method is characterized in spraying an oxidizing gas onto a deposited layer on an inner side of the insulation film to be wound, during the winding step. During a vacuum deposition step, an oil layer is formed on at least one side of the metallized film. In addition, an oxide layer is formed by exposing a deposited layer on at least one side to oxygen, or by spraying an oxygen-containing gas onto the deposited layer on at least one side during the winding of the metallized film into the product roll.

  • Publication number: 20070232838
    Abstract: An organic oxidation catalyst for alcohols which is environmentally less harmful and with which efficient oxidation can be conducted. The oxidation catalyst for alcohols is a 1-alkyl-2-azadamantan-N-oxyl which has a nitroxyl group incorporated in the adamantane skeleton and was synthesized from as a base material a bicyclic compound obtained by the Grob-type ring-opening reaction of 1,3-adamantanediol. Due to the nitroxyl group on the adamantane skeleton, the ?-position hydrogen is stabilized based on Bredt's rule and the stability of the oxoammonium group generated by the oxidation thereof is ensured. Compared to TEMPO, which is a conventional oxidation catalyst, this catalyst is reduced in steric hindrance and is usable in a wide range of reaction fields. Because of this, not only a primary alcohol but a secondary alcohol having a sterically complicated structure, which has been difficult to oxidize with TEMPO, can be oxidized at a high efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20040207970
    Abstract: The method of manufacturing double surface metallized insulating film of the present invention comprises vacuum depositing zinc or zinc-aluminum mixture on both sides of insulating film and winding the film to a product roll, wherein oxidizing gas is sprayed to an inner side deposited film when it is wound up. Also, during the deposition, oil layer is formed on at least one side of the film, and the deposited film on at least on one side is exposed to an oxygen-contained atmosphere, or oxygen-contained gas is sprayed to at least one side of the vacuum deposited film in the step of winding the film to a product roll, to form an oxide layer. According to the method of manufacturing of the present invention, the problem of a blocking that occurs as a sticking together and peeling off of the deposited films inside the product roll is avoided.
