Patent number: 7199242Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of a compound of formula (I): wherein P1 and P2, which may be the same or different, are amino protecting groups, which comprises protection of a compound of formula (II) in solution phase continuous operation mode. This confers advantages over batch mode operation. The process is usually conducted in reaction equipment adapted for use in continuous processing mode, for example comprising one or more static mixers or a plug flow reactor. Preferably, the plug flow reactor comprises a jacketed tubular reactor fitted inside with internal mixing elements which continually split and remix the reaction streams promoting mass and heat transfer, whereby a uniform plug flow profile with turbulent fluid flow is achieved. The invention also provides a process for production of the antibacterial compound gemifloxacin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate thereof, comprising converting a compound of formula (I).Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2002Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: LG Life Sciences LimitedInventors: Clemens Michael Helmut Brechtelsbauer, Stephen Thomas Carpenter, Trevor John Grinter, Michael Anthony Harris, Yeongdae Kim, Youngwoon Kwon, Dongchul Lee, François Xavier Ricard, Richard Neville Saunders

Publication number: 20030053900Abstract: A cargo carrying trailer includes a mobile body having a floor and upright wall structure mounted upon the floor such that the floor and wall structure together define at least one load compartment for hauling cargo therein. The floor has an opening extending from adjacent to a peripheral portion of the floor to an inwardly spaced location. The trailer also includes a ramp disposed in the floor opening and an arrangement for converting the ramp relative to the floor between vertically displaced raised and lowered positions to permit loading cargo over the ramp to the compartment from locations at different elevations. In the raised position the ramp extends substantially coplanar with the floor and thus at an elevated location, whereas in the lowered position the ramp has one end disposed adjacent to the floor and an opposite end disposed below the one end of the ramp and thus below the elevated location.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2001Publication date: March 20, 2003Inventor: Richard A.
