  • Publication number: 20230047158
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound selected from (R)-(+)-5-(p-cyanophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and in particular to the phosphate salt of (R)-(+)-5-(p-cyanophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine, both having preferably an enantiomeric excess of the (R) form higher than or equal to 97%.

  • Patent number: 5981006
    Abstract: A coupled spin-draw process for making a fully-oriented nylon yarn including extruding molten nylon polymer with a selected RV through a spinneret and cooling to produce a yarn. The yarn is withdrawn from the quench zone with a feed roll rotating at a speed of at least 4500 mpm. The process further includes cold drawing followed by relaxing the yarn using a steam intermingling jet and then winding up.
