Abstract: Methods are provided for using doxorubicin active agents in which reduced host toxicity is observed. Aspects of the methods including administering to a subject an effective amount of a doxorubicin active agent in conjunction with a doxorubicin toxicity-reducing adjuvant, e.g., a nitrone compound, or a nitrone compound in combination with a bisdioxopiperazine compound. Also provided are compositions for use in practicing the subject methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of different applications, including in the treatment of a variety of different disease conditions.

Abstract: Compounds represented by the following structural formulas can be used as photoacid generators: Such compounds are useful, for example, in fabricating arrays of polymers.

Abstract: A process for producing an aromatic compound is disclosed, which comprises coupling an aromatic sulfinic acid or a salt thereof with an aromatic halogen compound having at least one halogen atom attached to the carbon atom of the aromatic nucleus thereof or a vinyl group-containing halogen compound having at least one halogen atom attached to the carbon atom of said vinyl group in the presence of a catalyst compound containing an element selected from platinum metals.

Abstract: A process for preparing an explosive comprising contacting a ketone with a compound capable of producing a product, or compound, containing nitro groups for a time sufficient to obtain a product having a high-energy content and the product resulting therefrom.

Abstract: Geminal dinitro compounds are prepared by reacting an organic nitro compound having a replaceable hydrogen on the carbon to which the nitro group is attached with a source of nitrite ions in the presence of an oxidizing agent and a catalytic amount of an alkali metal ferricyanide.

Abstract: A process for synthesizing the alkali metal salts of dinitromethane by effecting the saponification of methyl cyanodinitroacetate previously prepared by the nitration of methyl cyanooximinoacetate.

Abstract: A method for synthesizing the alkali metal salts of dinitromethane by effecting the direct nitration of methyl malonate followed by the step of saponifying the nitrated reaction product.
