Abstract: Described are methods of preparing reduced 3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazine (DAPTZ) compounds of formula: wherein: R1 and R9 are independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of R3NA and R3NB is independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of R7NA and R7NB is independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of HX1 and HX2 is independently a protic acid; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof. These methods are particularly useful for producing stable reduced forms, and with high purity. The stability and purity are especially relevant for pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of disease. The compounds are useful for treatment of e.g. tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease, and also as prodrugs for the corresponding oxidized thioninium drugs.

Abstract: Compounds having bi-cyclic structure comprising a partially unsaturated 6-carbon first cyclic moiety interconnected to a 6-carbon second cyclic moiety second via a divalent linking moiety are provided. The compounds can be used as intermediates compounds in methods for the synthesis of carbazoles and derviatives thereof, including carvedilol, and tricyclic alkylhydroxamates, which do not require Fischer indole synthetic steps. Methods of preparing the compounds having bi-cyclic structures are also provided.

Abstract: Methodologies for the alpha-monohalogenation of acid sensitive ketones, especially cyclic, acid-sensitive, ketalized ketones. As one approach, the ketone is reacted with a halogen donor compound, e.g., N-chlorosuccinimide, in anhydrous, highly polar organic reagents such as dimethylformamide (DMF). As another monohalogenation approach, it has been observed that organic salts generated from amines and carboxylic acids catalyze the monohalogenation of ketalized ketone in reagents comprising alcohol solvent (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, etc.). The monohalogenation is fast even at ?5° C. The salt can be rapidly formed in situ from ingredients including amines and/or carboxylic acids without undue degradation of the acid sensitive ketal. Aryl ketones are monooxygenated using iodosylbenzene. This methodology is applied to monohalogenation of an acid sensitive monoketal ketone. The ability to prepare monohalogenated, acid sensitive ketones facilitates syntheses using halogenated, acid sensitive ketones.

Abstract: A stereoscopic imaging lens includes a first lens set and a second lens set. The lens receives collimated laser light from the scanning laser ophthalmoscope and, focuses on the fundus of the eye. By use of a prism set, two offset images are provided to the scanning laser ophthalmoscope. The system provides virtually simulatneous side-by-side but offset images that can be viewed with a stereoscopic viewing device, which provides apparent depth perception.
