Patent number: 7211704Abstract: In a process for preparing p-dichlorobenzene by nuclear chlorination of benzene and/or chlorobenzene as the starting material with chlorine molecules, chlorination is carried out using aluminum chloride in an amount of 0.1–3 millimols per mol of the starting material and phenothiazines such as 10H-phenothiazine-10-carboxylic acid phenyl ester in an amount of 0.1–0.9 mols per mol of aluminum chloride so as to be a chlorination degree in a range of 1.2–2.5, by which p-dichlorobenzene can be obtained in a high para-selectivity and a short reaction time.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2003Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Kureha CorporationInventors: Takashi Wakasugi, Tsugio Nonaka, Tadashi Miyakawa, Takanobu Hanabusa, Kazuhiko Sunagawa, Shigeru Mizusawa

Patent number: 7166750Abstract: 5-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-2,2-dimethylcyclopentanone is produced by reacting 1-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-methyl-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl ester or 1-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-methyl-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester with sodium hydride and methyl halide, then hydrolyzing the obtained 1-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3,3-dimethyl-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl ester or 1-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3,3-dimethyl-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester. The process provides 5-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-2,2-dimethylcyclopentanone, an important intermediate of an agricultural or horticultural fungicide, e.g., Metconazole.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: Kureha CorporationInventors: Kazuhiko Sunagawa, Hajime Hoshi, Shigeru Mizusawa, Nobuyuki Kusano, Satoru Kumazawa

Patent number: 6562992Abstract: The optical material in accordance with the present invention contains a specific phosphonate monoester compound such as monoethyl 3-methoxy butyl phosphonate, and a metal ion such as a copper ion or rare-earth metal ion. They may be contained in a solvent or resin. The use of such a specific phosphonate monoester compound improves the compatibility with a resin, whereby the metal ion can favorably be dispersed into the resin. Consequently, spectral characteristics can be improved when the optical member is formed into a resin-made optical member.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Kureha Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naoki Hayashi, Shigeru Mizusawa, Tomoyoshi Koizumi, Katsuichi Machida

Patent number: 4881137Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette is provided with a pivotal closure lid pivotably secured to both sides of a casing for movement between a closed position, in which the front opening of the casing, through which a magnetic tape is accessible for loading onto a rotary head, is covered, and an open position wherein the closure lid is pivoted away from said opening to expose the tape while the cassette is in use. The magnetic tape cassette is also provided with a sliding closure member slidably mounted on the bottom of the casing and cooperative with the aforementioned pivotal closure lid. The sliding closure member is in a closed position while the pivotal closure lid is in its closed position, in which it covers a bottom clearance through which a device constituting part of a tape holding system is inserted, and in an open position while the pivotal closure lid is in its open position to allow the aforementioned device of the tape handling system to reach into the casing through the bottom clearance.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1988Date of Patent: November 14, 1989Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Meguro, Yoshinori Yamamoto, Masao Ohyama, Kenichi Horikawa, Shigeru Mizusawa, Kenji Kawakami
