Abstract: The invention provides a composition and a method of using the composition for inhibiting the unwanted polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers. The composition is prepared by reducing a nitroxide stable free radical to its corresponding hydroxylamine through reaction with a dialkyl/aryl hydroxylamine and subsequent addition of a polymerization prevention component selected from phenolic antioxidants, phenylenediamine and phenylenediamine derivatives, or phenothiazine and phenothiazine derivatives targeted towards ethylenically unsaturated monomers. The conversion of the nitroxide by the dialkyl/aryl hydroxylamine is to prevent it or the polymerization prevention component from being “spent” by reaction with each other, impurities or any other incompatible components. This allows previously incompatible combinations to now work effectively. In fact, the combination is more efficacious as the combination exerts a synergy due to the presence of various polymerization prevention reagents.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions comprising an acylanilide, such as bicalutamide, having improved solubility in water. The bicalutamide particles of the composition have an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 nm, and are useful in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of formula (I) wherein A1 and R1 to R5 are defined as in the description and in the claims. The compound of formula (I) can be used as a medicament.

Abstract: An anthracene derivative represented by general formula (I):
wherein X and Y represent a trifunctional aromatic ring group or the like, A1 to A4 represent an aryl group or a monovalent heterocyclic group, R1 to R16 represent hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, cyano group, nitro group, alkyl group or the like, Q represents an arylene group or the like and p represents 0, 1 or 2; and an organic electroluminescence device which comprises at least an organic light emitting layer disposed between a pair of electrodes and the above anthracene derivative. The novel anthracene derivative exhibits a high efficiency of light emission and excellent heat resistance when the derivative is used as a material constituting an organic electroluminescence device.

Abstract: A method of stabilizing nitriles, and in particular iminodiacetonitrile (IDAN), ethylendiamine-triacetonitrile (EDTN), and especially nitrilotriacetonitrile (NTAN). The present invention also encompasses the resulting stabilized nitrile. The method of the present invention comprises contacting the nitrile with a mixture of silica and alumina, zeolites or glass.
Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing .beta.-nitroenamine represented by the formula I: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and independently indicate a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group which may be optionally substituted with at least one group selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom, a lower alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a hydroxyl group or an aryl group, or an aryl group which may be optionally substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, a nitro group, a cyano group, an acylamino group, a di-lower alkylamino group, an arylamino group, a hydroxyl group, an arylsulfonyl group, a mercapto group, a lower alkylthio group or an arylthio group, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may bond together to form a cycloalkyl or bicycloalkyl and R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group or an aralkyl group; and an intermediate for producing the .beta.-nitroenamine.
Abstract: A cyanoacrylate monomer adhesive formulation which has improved thermal properties resulting from the inclusion in the formulation of an effective amount for enhancing the thermal resistance of the cured polymer of a naphthosultone compound having at least one strong electron withdrawing group thereon, suitably a nitro group.
Abstract: The premature free-radical polymerization of a non-linear, readily polymerizable organic monomer under conditions where the monomer would otherwise polymerize is inhibited by incorporating within the non-linear, readily polymerizable monomer a polymerization inhibiting amount of a fullerene or a derivative thereof.
