Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a process for preparing a 1,2-ethylenediamine; 1,2-propylenediamine; or a mixture thereof by way of a catalyzed reductive amination reaction employing hydrogen, a reductive amination catalyst, (C3-C40)polyhydric alcohol having at least three hydroxy groups on consecutive carbon atoms thereof, and primary amine, the catalyzed reductive amination reaction employing reaction conditions that are effective for reductively aminating at least two of the hydroxy groups of the (C3-C40)polyhydric alcohol and reductively eliminating at least one other of the hydroxy groups of the (C3-C40)polyhydric alcohol in such a way so as to give a 1,2-ethylenediamine; 1,2-propylenediamine; or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: The invention is a process for the preparation of at least one nucleic acid duplex by the steps of: (a) synthesizing a first single strand oligonucleotide to produce a crude solution of the first single strand oligonucleotide; (b) purifying the first single strand oligonucleotide from the crude solution by first liquid chromatography to produce a solution of purified first single strand oligonucleotide in a first liquid chromatography eluant; (c) synthesizing a second single strand oligonucleotide to produce a crude solution of the second single strand oligonucleotide; (d) purifying the second single strand oligonucleotide from the crude solution by second liquid chromatography to produce a solution of purified second single strand oligonucleotide in a second liquid chromatography eluant; (e) mixing the solution of purified first single strand oligonucleotide in the first liquid chromatography eluant with the solution of purified second single strand oligonucleotide in the second liquid chromatography eluant

Abstract: Starburst conjugates which are composed of at least one dendrimer in association with at least one unit of a carried agricultural, pharmaceutical, or other material have been prepared. These conjugates have particularly advantageous properties due to the unique characteristics of the dendrimer.

Abstract: The narrow poly- or mono-dispersed oligomers of the present invention are polyureas, polycarbonates, polyesters or polyamides having a recurring unit of from 3 to 50. These oligomers are water-soluble, preferably have a rigid backbone, have recurring units coupled by carbonyl linking moieties which have anionic groups, display predominantly linear geometry such that regular spacing between anionic groups exists in an aqueous medium, and are pharmaceutically-acceptable. The narrow poly- or mono-dispersed oligomers are useful for the treatment and/or diagnosis of AIDS and/or ARC or HSV.

Abstract: Dendritic polymer conjugates which are composed of at least one dendrimer in association with at least one unit of a carried material, where the carrier material can be a biological response modifier, have been prepared. The conjugate can also have a target director present, and when it is present then the carried material may be a bioactive agent. Preferred dendritic polymers are dense star polymers, which have been complexed with biological response modifiers. These conjugates and complexes have particularly advantageous properties due to their unique characteristics.

Abstract: A group of functionalized polyamine chelants that form complexes with rhodium are disclosed. The rhodium complexes can be attached to an antibody or antibody fragment and used for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.

Abstract: Unsaturated esters with an alkyl group at the 2 carbon, such as methyl methacrylate, react with .beta.-aminoalkanols, such as 2-aminoethanol, in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide or hydroxide such as sodium methoxide, under moderate temperatures to form an amide such as N-(2-hydroxyethyl)methacrylamide. The amide may be cyclized by a weak Lewis acid, such as ferric chloride, at about 220.degree. C. to form a 2-alkenyl oxazoline, such as isopropenyl oxazoline.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel process for preparing isothiocyanate functionalized chelates by reacting amino functionalized chelates with thiophosgene.

Abstract: Hydrazone compounds having two organic moieties joined by a hydrazone group, such as phenylacetone t-butyl hydrazone, are useful blowing agents for foaming polymers, such as bisphenol A/phosgene polycarbonate at temperatures above about 280.degree. C., and particularly at about 300.degree. C. to about 310.degree. C. Polycarbonate polymers formed using the hydrazones as foaming agents show a high impact strength.
