  • Patent number: 6271401
    Abstract: Compounds of formula A(B)x,  (I), wherein x is an integer from 1 to 4, A is the radical of a chromophore of the quinacridone, anthraquinone, perylene, indigo, quinophthalone, isoindolinone, isoindoline, dioxazine, phthalocyanine or azo series, which radical contains x N-atoms attached to B, preferably with at least one directly adjacent or conjugated carbonyl group, B is a group of formula and, if x is 2, 3 or 4, may also be one, two or three hydrogen atoms. The symbols Q, R1, R2, R3, R4, X, Y, Z, m and n, are as defined in claim 1. These carbamate group-containing soluble chromophores are distinguished by outstanding solid state fluorescence in the UV range as well as the by ease with which they can be converted to the corresponding pigments in the substrate in which they are incorporated.

  • Patent number: 6232450
    Abstract: A new class of N-linked Lewis and LacNAc analogs of are synthesized and shown to be effective inhibitors of human fucosyltransferases. In a high yielding reaction sequence the glucosamine derivative 1 was transformed to the 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy sugar 2e under excellent stereocontrol. The LacNAc analog 4d was synthesized as a single isomer in three steps starting from 2e. In a one pot procedure iminocyclitol 5 was transformed into aldehyde 6 and successfully used for reductive amination with 4c and 2f yielding trisaccharide 8a, and disaccharide 7a.
