Abstract: The herbicidally active substituted N-carbamoyl-tetrazolinones of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents, inter alia, an (optionally substituted) phenyl radical,R.sup.2 represents, inter alia, an alkyl radical, andR.sup.3 represents, inter alia, a cycloalkyl radical,are obtained in very good yields and at high purity--i.e. free from the isomeric O-carbamoyloxytetrazoles (Ia)--by reacting tetrazolinones of the formula (II) with carbamoyl halides of the formula (III) (X=halogen) ##STR2## in the presence of an acid acceptor and in the presence of a diluent, at temperatures of between 0.degree. C. and 200.degree. C., and either isomerizing the O-carbamoylation product of the formula (Ia), which is formed under these circumstances as a byproduct, into the desired product of the formula (I) by heating, or else converting it by hydrolysis or alcoholysis into water-soluble, and thus readily separable, components (variable (a)).

Abstract: The invention relates to antimycotic compositions comprising (1) an antimycotic effective amount of an azole derivative having antimycotic activity, said azole derivative being in the form of particles less than 4.mu. in size, (2) an acid and/or a buffer system consisting of an organic acid and a salt thereof to provide a pH of 3 to 4 or less in aqueous solution and (3) an inert pharmaceutical carrier. Also included in the invention are methods for the short term treatment of vaginal infections utilizing the compositions of the invention.

Abstract: Polyglycidyl compounds are prepared by reacting certain polyallyl compounds with a percarboxylic acid containing 3 or 4 C atoms, subsequently removing, by distillation, the carboxylic acid formed from the percarboxylic acid, then separating the remaining mixture by simultaneous extraction with a lipophilic and a hydrophilic phase, subsequently working up the laden lipophilic phase and the laden hydrophilic phase separately in a manner which is known per se, and obtaining the polyglycidyl compound as the residue from working up of the laden hydrophilic phase.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of o-nitrobenzaldehyde, comprising converting to the corresponding acetals a mixture of nitrated benzaldehyde which contains about 10 to 30% of o-nitrobenzaldehyde and about 70 to 90% of m-nitrobenzaldehyde, removing the o-nitrobenzaldehyde acetal by distillation, and then converting the o-nitrobenzaldehyde acetal to o-nitrobenzaldehyde.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved process for the isolation and purification of aminoglycoside antibiotics of Formula (I) as defined herein combining selective lipophilization of the compound of Formula (I) in the crude product obtained by fermentation with controlled liquid/liquid extraction.

Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of an antimicrobial antibiotic obtained by culturing Actinoplanes strain ATCC 31440 under aerobic conditions in the presence of sources of carbon and nitrogen and in the presence of trace amounts of minerals. In addition to their use as antimicrobials, the antibiotics of the invention can be used for improving the growth and feed utilization in animals.

Abstract: Glucopyranosido-1,6-mannitol, represented by the formula: ##STR1## and a process for its preparation are provided. The glucopyranosido-1,6-mannitol is obtained by catalytically hydrogenating neutral aqueous solutions of isomaltulose and cooling the hydrogenated solution.In a second embodiment of the invention the use of the glucopyranosido-1,6-mannitol as a sugar substitute, sweetener for food or beverages, and sweetened food composition is provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides, as compounds, the substituted 4,5-dihydroxy-imidazolidine-2-thiones of the general formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, which are selected independently of one another each represent hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkoxy or halogen andR.sup.4 represents optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl or alkenyl.It has been found that the compounds of this invention have a powerful ectoparasiticidal action, in particular against acarids.
