A process is disclosed for producing particular hydroxyalkyl glucosides in the presence of a binary catalyst.

Process for producing hydroxyalkyl glucosides

This invention relates to improved catalytic process for the manufacture of copper phthalocyanine by allowing phthalic anhydride to react with urea and a copper compound, in the presence of a hydrophobic liquid (dispersing agent), characterized by the presence, along with the catalyst and the dispersing agent, of a promoter selected from particular classes of amides, imides, ureas, thioureas, guanidines, amines or sulphoxides.

Catalytic process for the manufacture of copper phthalocyanine

Diethers of general formula: ##STR1## where R, R.sup.I, R.sup.II, R.sup.III, R.sup.IV and R.sup.V are the same or different and are H, C.sub.1-18 linear or branched alkyl, C.sub.5-18 cycloalkyl, C.sub.6.about. aryl, C.sub.7-18 alkylaryl or C.sub.7-18 arylalkyl radicals, provided that when R is alkyl, R.sup.I is other than H or alkyl and when R.sup.I is alkyl, R is other than H or alkyl; R.sup.VI and R.sup.VIII are the same or different and are C.sub.1-18 linear or branched alkyl, C.sub.5-18 cycloalkyl, C.sub.6-18 aryl, or C.sub.7-18 arylalkyl radicals; and two or more of R to R.sup.V may be bonded to form a cyclic structure having 5 to 18 carbon atoms. The diethers are particularly useful in the preparation of Ziegler-Natta catalysts.

Diethers usable in the preparation of Ziegler-Natta catalysts

A process of preparing taurine-containing peptides of formula (I): ##STR1## comprises reacting a protected aminoacid with cysteamine or cystamine in the presence of a condensing agent, oxidizing the resulting compound and deprotection.

Taurine derivatives

A process for the preparation of a pyrazine derivative of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydroxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, or a group of the formula NR.sub.2 R.sub.3 in which R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently a hydrogen atom or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are linked, form a saturated ring having five or six atoms which may contain one or more additional heteroatoms; which process comprises reacting a compound of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, Y represents a hydrogen atom or a sodium, lithium, or potassium ion, and A is a nitrile group or a substituent of the formula COR.sub.1 where R.sub.1 is as defined above either with pyruvic aldehyde oxime of the formula: ##STR3## or with a pyruvic aldehyde oxime acetal derivative of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are independently a hydrogen atom or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or may be linked together so that the compound of formula IV is a cyclic acetal; and, when A is a nitrile group, hydrolyzing the reaction product.

Preparation of pyrazine derivatives

Alkyl diesters of saturated dicarboxylic acids are prepared by catalytic reaction of olefinic hydrocarbons with carbon monoxide and alkoxylic copper salts, in the presence of a Palladium catalyst. The products obtained find useful applications in the field of plasticizers for synthetic resins, in the field of lubricants and of hydraulic fluids, etc.

Process for the preparation of diesters of saturated carboxylic acids

There is provided a process for the preparation of esters of oxalic acid comprising reacting at a temperature of between about 20.degree. and 200.degree. C. a copper (II) compound having the formula Cu(OR)X, where R is alkyl having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and X is chlorine or bromine, with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of palladium salts, metallic palladium and zero valent palladium complexes.
