Abstract: Compounds having the formula ##STR1## in which X is hydrogen, chloro or bromo; R is hydrogen or lower alkanoyl; R.sub.1 is lower alkyl, cyclopropyl or NR.sub.3 R.sub.4 ; R.sub.2 is hydrogen or lower alkanoyl; and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl, are useful as herbicides, primarily for post-emergent application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel biologically active tricyclic compounds of the general formula: ##STR1## and salts thereof, in whichR.sub.1 and R.sub.2 stand for hydrogen, alkyl or alkenyl, an optionally substituted aralkyl group or an acyl group orR.sub.1 +R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom represent a heterocyclic 5- or 6-membered ring, andX and Y stand for hydrogen, hydroxy, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms, nitro, trifluoromethyl or an acyloxy group,which compounds have valuable biological activities, particularly anorectic activity.

Abstract: Described are D-(threo)-1-aryl-2-acylamido-3-fluoro-1-propanols, methods for their preparation, and methods for their use as antibacterial agents.Of particular interest are D-(threo)-1-p-nitrophenyl-2-dichloroacetamido-3-fluoro-1-propanol and D-(threo)-1-p-methylsulfonylphenyl-2-dichloroacetamido-3-fluoro-1-propanol and the corresponding 2-difluoroacetamido compounds which are the 3-fluoro-3-deoxy analogs of chloramphenicol, thiamphenicol, difluoroacetyl analog of chloramphenicol, and of fluorthiamphenicol, respectively, and which are active both against organisms sensitive to and resistant to the parent amphenicol antibiotics.Other particularly valuable antibacterial agents include the corresponding 2-(chlorofluoroacetamido)-, 2-dichlorodeuterioacetamido, 2-difluorodeuterioacetamido-, and the 2-(chlorofluorodeuterioacetamido)- derivatives of the foregoing 3-fluoro-3-deoxy amphenicols.

Abstract: Diphenylamine which is N-monosubstituted in the 4'-position carries at least one acylamino group at the 2- or 6-position. The diphenylamine is usefully employed in a composition for dyeing keratinic fibers.

Abstract: N-(2-aminocycloheptyl)N-alkanoylanilides and their 2-N-oxides of the formula ##STR1## e.g., trans-3,4-dichloro-N-[2-(allylamino)cycloheptyl]propionanilide, and their pharmacologically acceptable salts, have been found to possess potent Central Nervous System antidepressant properties. Many of them are new.These compounds are promising antidepressant drugs which are characterized by lower toxicity than imipramine, and long acting activity which may allow longer durations between administrations, e.g., once a day. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and a process for treating conditions of depression with these compositions are disclosed.

Abstract: This disclosure describes esters having prostaglandin-like activity of 15-deoxy-16-hydroxy-16-substituted-prostanoic acids formed by replacing the hydroxy group of the C.sub.1 -carboxylic acid substituent with para-acetamidophenoxy, methylsulfonylamido, para-acetylphenoxy, para-phenylphenoxy, C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 cycloalkoxy, arylalkoxy wherein the alkoxy group has from 7-12 carbon atoms, phenoxy or phenoxy substituted with 1-3 chlorine atoms or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, phenacyloxy or phenacyloxy ring-substituted with from 1-3 bromine atoms, a nitro moiety, C.sub.1-C.sub.8 arylalkyl, or arylalkoxy wherein the alkoxy group has from 7-12 carbon atoms; substituted arylamino (C.sub.1 -C.sub.12), substituted-naphthoxy, fluorenoxy, carboxyalkoxy (C.sub.5 -C.sub.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a trihalomethyl group, an alkyl group, or a cyano group,Y is a hydrogen atom, or a trihalomethyl group, andZ is an alkoxy group, an alkoxyalkoxy group, a hydroxyalkoxy group, an alkyl group, a halogen atom, an alkylamino group, a dialkylamino group, an alkylthio group, a carboxy group, a carbalkoxy group, a carboxyalkoxy group, a carbalkoxyalkoxy group, a carboxyalkyl group, a carbalkoxyalkyl group, a dialkylureido group, an alkanoylamino group, or carbalkoxyamino group,and compositions containing these compounds exhibit herbicidal activity.
