Abstract: A process for the preparation of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid which comprises cultivating under aerobic conditions a yeast belonging to Candida tropicalis which is capable of producing an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid from an unsaturated fatty acid or its ester, such as Candida tropicalis 104-04 strain, in a medium containing an unsaturated fatty acid having 14 to 22 carbon atoms or its ester, to produce an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid having 14 to 22 carbon atoms; or effecting oxidation of said fatty acid or its ester in the presence of microorganisms of said yeast produced in advance by cultivation in an assimilable carbon source to produce an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid having 14 to 22 carbon atoms; and then recovering the thus-produced unsaturated dicarboxylic acid.

Abstract: A new substance having antitumor activity is obtained from an epidermal portion of rice. A substance called RBF-P is obtained by adding ethanol to an aqueous alkaline extract of rice bran, removing the insolubles and precipitating the substance by addition of an acid. This substance comprises an active substance called RBF-PM, which is insoluble in methanol, and an active substance called RBF-X, which is soluble in acetone. The substance RBF-PM is a protein containing extremely little cystine and said protein can suppress solid cancers of mice. The substance RBF-X is a mixture of hexane-solubles such as fatty acids and a hexane-insoluble called RBF-H. A synergistic suppressive action on ascites hepatoma of mice is exhibited by the combination of the RBF-H and the fatty acids.

Abstract: 4-OXOPENTADECANEDIOIC ACID IS PREPARED BY OXIDIZING A .alpha.-CYCLODODEC-1-ENYLPROPIONIC ACID DERIVATIVE HAVING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CHEMICAL FORMULAE AT ITS ETHYLENIC DOUBLE BOND WITH OZONE. ##STR1## The compound is useful as an intermediate for a musk perfume compound. The compound having the formula II is selectively prepared from cyclododecanone and di-alkyl succinate.

Abstract: 13-Oxabicyclo(10.4.0)hexadec-1(12)-en-14-one is prepared by intramolecular cyclization of .beta.-(2-oxocyclododecyl) propionic acid, or derivatives thereof, in the presence of an acid catalyst or a basic catalyst. The compound is an important intermediate for producing musk perfume fragrance.
