Abstract: Pesticidal water-soluble aminoacid sulfenylated carbamates useful as broad spectrum insecticides and miticides, particularly useful as systemic insecticides.

Abstract: Tocopherol diester derivatives having high vitamin E potency can be produced by the esterification of tocopherol acid esters with amino alcohols. Some preferred tocopherol diesters also have excellent water solubility. One of the preferred diesters is the tocopherol diester having choline, a vitamin B.sub.4 moiety.

Abstract: Tocopherol derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## in which X and X.sub.1, which may be identical or different, each represent hydrogen or chlorine and their acetates are useful in the synthesis of vitamin E.

Abstract: Process for preparing chlorinated ethylenic derivatives of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 represents acetyl, formyl optionally in the form of an acetal, hydroxy optionally as an ether or ester, alkyloxycarbonyl, alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms substituted by one or more acetyl, formyl optionally in the form of an acetal, hydroxy optionally in the form of an ether or ester, or alkyloxycarbonyl, alkenyl of 2 to 12 carbon atoms containing one or more double bonds optionally substituted by one or more of acetyl, formyl optionally in the form of an acetal, hydroxy optionally in the form of an ether or ester, or alkyloxycarbonyl, or R.sub.1 represents 3-sulpholenyl or a radical of formula ##STR2## in which R.sub.2 denotes a hydrogen or acetyl, by reacting chlorine in a nonpolar aprotic solvent with a compound of general formula ##STR3## in which R.sub.1 is defined as above. The products of formula I, some of which are new, are useful as intermediates in the synthesis of terpene products such as vitamin E.

Abstract: The invention relates to intermediate compounds having the general formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is H, an alkyl, arylalkyl or an aliphatic acyl radical, preferably a benzyl or acetyl group and wherein X and Y together span an additional bond between the X and Y carrying C atoms (Ia) or in which Y is OH and X is H (Ib) and in which the dotted line can represent an additional bond particularly [2R,1'Z,3'E,7'E]-6-benzyloxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(4',8',12'-trimethyl-tr ideca-1',3',7'-trien-1'-yl)chroman and 6-benzyloxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(1'-hydroxy-4',8',12'-trimethyl-trideca- 3',7'-diene-1'-yl)chroman, as well as compounds and methods of preparing compounds having the general formula II ##STR2## in which Z is one of the groups ##STR3## wherein R.sup.2 is an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms preferably CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.

Abstract: The present invention describes the preparation and utilization of tocopherol acetylsalicylate compounds which have utility for lessening erythema.
