Abstract: Novel 4-monoalkylamino-benzaldehydes, 4-mono-alkylamino-alkanophenones, and 4-monoalkylamino-benzophenones, and derivatives and salts thereof, are disclosed which are useful as anti-atherosclerotic agents.

Abstract: The invention discloses 2-oxo- and 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiol compounds of the formula I below which have an advantageous action on plant metabolism. They selectively promote the formation of separation tissue on fruit and leaves and are suitable for facilitating the harvesting of olives and citrus fruit. The compounds have the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl optionally interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms or substituted by halogen or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or phenoxy, unsubstituted or halogen-substituted C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 alkenyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 alkynyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl, or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, R.sub.2 is a hydrogen, methyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkoxycarbonyl or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, and X is oxygen or sulfur.

Abstract: This invention discloses new compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X,Y,Z and Q are each independently selected from the group consisting of oxygen and sulfur; R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, and ##STR2## wherein A may be different at different positions and is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, halogen, nitro and cyano, p is an integer from 0 to 5; R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino and ##STR3## wherein B may be different at different positions and is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, halogen, nitro and cyano, and q is an integer from 0 to 5; R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl and ##STR4## wherein D may be different at different positions and is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, halogen, nitro and cyano, and r is an integer from 0 to 5; R.sup.
