Abstract: Novel compounds of the general formula ##STR1## wherein Z represents a substituted lower alkyl radical; each of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl or a substituted lower alkyl identical with or different from Z and the functional groups NO.sub.2 and NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 can occupy all ring positions in relation to OZ, with the exception that if Z is .beta.-hydroxyethyl, --NO.sub.2 is in the 4 position and --N(R.sub.1)(R.sub.2) is in the 2 position then either R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is other than hydrogen.The novel compounds are for dyeing human hair in a variety of yellow shades. The compounds of formula (I) may be used as aqueous or water-alcohol solutions to form dye compositions for dyeing human hair.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of 4-[2-(dimethylamino)-ethoxy]-2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)-phenol esters (I) and their salts with organic and inorganic acids comprising the reaction of thymol with a salt of an 1-halo-dimethylaminoethane to obtain ethylamine-N,N-dimethyl-2-(thymyloxy) (II), the subsequent reaction of (II) with an acylating agent according to the Friedel and Kraft reaction to obtain 4-[2-(dimethylamino)-ethoxy]-2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)-1-acyl-benzene (III) and the oxidation of (III) to obtain the products (I) which, if desired, may be transformed in their salts with organic or inorganic acids.This process allows to obtain the products (I) in high quality and quantity without isolating any intermediate product.

Abstract: Novel meta-phenylenediamines are provided for use as couplers with dye bases in hair dye compositions. These meta-phenylenediamines have the formula: ##STR1## in which n is 2, 3 or 4. Their acid addition salts may also be used.

Abstract: Dye, especially for human hair that consists of the new chemical compounds of the general formula ##STR1## in which Z is selected in the group consisting of hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, acylaminoalkyl, carbalkoxyaminoalkyl, mesylaminoalkyl, ureidoalkyl, aminoalkyl, monoalkylaminoalkyl, dialkylaminoalkyl radicals, and the salts of the corresponding acids. Among the preferred acid salts are the sulfates, hydrochlorides, phosphates and tartrates.This dye is particularly suited for use with metadiphenols, metaphenylenediamines, metaaminophenols as well as the couplers of the formula ##STR2## in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are identical or different and may represent hydrogen, alkoxy, or alkyl and in which R.sub.5 is selected from the group consisting of acyl, carbalkoxy and ureido.

Abstract: Novel compounds derived from formylphenoxyacetic acid such as N,N-dihexadecyl-4-(aminomethyl)phenoxy acetamide and N,N-dihexacecyl-2-(4-(aminomethyl)phenoxy) ethylamine and their non-toxic acid addition salts are useful for combating viral infections in vertebrate animals.

Abstract: Sulfamo dihydrochalcones of the formula ##STR1## are disclosed wherein M.sup.+ is a physiologically acceptable cation, X is H or OH, and R is a lower alkyl. These materials are useful as sweeteners for edibles. They may be prepared by sulfonating the corresponding amino dihydrochalcone using, for example, catechol sulfate.

Abstract: Omega-[4-(polyfluoro-2-hydroxy-2-propyl)-2,3,6-substituted-phenoxy and phenylthio]alkanoic acids and compounds related thereto having antihypertensive activity are preparable by reaction of the appropriate 2,3,6-substituted-4-(polyfluoro-2-hydroxy-2-propyl)phenol or thiophenol with an alkyl ester of a bromoalkanoic acid, followed by hydrolysis to the free acid.
