Abstract: N-phenethylacetamide compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X.sub.1 represents a lower alkoxy group, X.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkoxy group and R represents a phenyl group, a pyridyl group, a pyrimidinyl group or a benzoyl group, each of which may have one or more substituents selected from a halogen atom, a carbamoyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a sulfamoyl group, an amino group, a lower alkylamino group, a lower alkylthio group, a hydroxy group and a lower alkoxycarbonyl group; the parmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and hydrates thereof; as well as the process for preparing such compounds and salts and hydrates thereof; the compounds, their salts and their hydrates having a distinct anti-peptic ulcer activity in human and animals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to halo-substituted 2,2 dimethylcyclopropaneamides, useful as intermediates for the preparation of imidates having pesticidal properties.

Abstract: A herbicidal composition comprises a novel compound of benzamide derivative having the formula ##STR1## wherein R represents a straight or branched chain alkyl group; a straight or branched chain alkoxy group; or amino group.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of o-(2,6-dichloroanilino)phenylacetic acid (Diclofenac) or its pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salt, which comprises hydrolyzing an N,N-disubstituted-o-(2,6-dichloroanilino)phenylacetamide derivative with an alkali. Also a novel intermediate for use in the preparation of Diclofenac, that is, an N,N-disubstituted-o-halogenophenylacetamide in which the halogen is iodine or bromine, is disclosed.

Abstract: Yellow pigments having a greenish hue are represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 may be the same or different from one another and each is hydrogen, halogen (chlorine, fluorine or bromine), lower alkyl or alkoxy having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be the same or different from one another and each is the residue from an acyl-acetyl-amino-aromatic coupling agent or the residue from a pyrazolone coupling agent. Pigments are obtained by coupling of (1) an aceto-acetyl-amino-aromatic compound or (2) of a pyrazoline, with a 4,4'-diamino-benzanilide. The yellow pigments have the characteristic of having a high tintorial yield, a high degree of purity of tone (brightness), a good fastness to light, and good resistance to organic solvents. These pigments are particularly useful in the polychrome graphic industry.
