  • Patent number: 6005113
    Abstract: The invention relates to fluorescent dyes that are substituted or unsubstituted derivatives of 1-(isoindolyl)methylene-isoindole that are bound through both isoindole nitrogens to a boron difluoride moiety, forming a fluorescent dibenzopyrrometheneboron difluoride compound ##STR1## that is further substituted by bathochromic substituents that are aryl or heteroaryl moieties further substituted by an additional aryl or heteroaryl, that is itself optionally further substituted by an additional aryl or heteroaryl. These aryl and heteroaryl groups are separated by a covalent bond, or by an ethenyl, butadienyl or hexatrienyl linkage. The dyes of the invention are particularly useful as labels for carriers, particularly polymeric microparticles. The resulting microparticles have a long-wavelength fluorescence emission, and possess utility for tracing flow in biological systems, particularly in tracing blood flow.

  • Patent number: 5171915
    Abstract: It is disclosed that aromatic compounds can be alkylated with mono-olefinic HVI-PAO dimer in contact with an acidic catalyst to produce novel alkylated aromatic compositions. It has been found that the novel HVI-PAO dimer alkylated aromatic compositions exhibit an extraordinary combination of properties relating to low viscosity with high viscosity index and low pour point which renders them very useful as lubricant basestock. Further, it has been found that the novel alkylaromatic compositions of the present invention show improved oxidative stability. Depending upon the substituent groups on the aromatic nucleus, useful lubricant additives can be prepared for improved antiwear, antioxidant and other properties. HVI-PAO dimer is prepared as a product or by-product from 1-alkene oligomerization using reduced chromium oxide on solid support.

  • Patent number: 5166375
    Abstract: The antioxidant is safe for human health, has excellent antioxidation activity and is suitably utilized for preventing oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, esters of unsaturated fatty acids and various kinds of products comprising these acids and esters. The oxidation resistant polyunsaturated oil is made by giving strong antioxidation activity to polyunsaturated oils, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fats.The antioxidant comprises musizin and tocopherol as the effective components. The oxidation resistant polyunsaturated oil and fat of the invention is characterized in that an antioxidant comprising musizin as the effective component is added to a polyunsaturated oil.

  • Patent number: 5117062
    Abstract: A novel synthesis of aromatic tertiary amines involves reacting an aromatic anil and an aromatic ether in a molar ratio of 1:1; adjusting the ratio to 2:1 produces novel enamines and by employing a two step process for enamine production, various unsymmetrically substituted enamines can be obtained which are readily hydrolyzed to corresponding deoxybenzoins which in turn are readily oxidized to benzils, the aromatic tertiary amines may be used to produce charge transport layers in xerography, while the benzils may be used to produce a variety of desired polymers.

These odd pattern substituted compounds decompose to emit light of greater intensity and of a different wavelength than that emitted by the corresponding even pattern substituted isomers.
