Insecticide-impregnated nets made of textile fibers, which nets have a small mesh size, and their use for the protection against pests.

Insecticide-impregnated nets and use thereof for protecting against pests

Process for producing actives-comprising polymeric networks from oligomers containing (meth)acrylate groups, optionally from further monomers, and from actives, the polymeric networks obtainable by the process, and the use of the networks for various purposes, more particularly for protecting materials or in crop protection.

Actives-comprising polymer networks, processes for producing them, and their use

N-(D)-ribitylxylidine (I) is prepared by reacting (D)-ribose (II) with 3,4-dimethylaniline (III) or 3,4-dimethyl-1-nitrobenzene (IV) in aqueous or aqueous/organic solution or in solution in a water-soluble organic solvent under an elevated hydrogen pressure and in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst and of a boric acid compound,

Preparation of ribitylxylidine

2-Amino-3-cyano-5-dialkoxymethylpyrazine derivatives of the general formula III ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each hydrogen or a protective group usually employed for amino groups and R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are each alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or together form an ethylene or propylene radical which is unsubstituted or substituted by methyl, are prepared starting from a novel 3-halomethyl-5-dihalomethyl-2-aminopyrazine derivative of the formula IV ##STR2## where X is Cl or Br, via a novel intermediate of the general formula I ##STR3## where R.sup.3 is --CH.sub.2 --O--CO--CH.sub.3 (a), --CH.sub.2 OH (b), ##STR4## or --C.tbd.N (d) and R.sup.4 is --CHCl.sub.2 or --CHBr.sub.2 or, where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each a protective group, R.sup.4 may furthermore be ##STR5##

Preparation of 2-amino-3-cyano-5-dialkoxymethylpyrazines and

2-Amino-3,5-di-(halomethyl)-pyrazines of the general formula I ##STR1## where X is either chlorine or bromine, m and n may each be 0, 1, 2 or 3 and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each hydrogen or a protective group or may furthermore be bonded to one another, in particular those compounds of the formula I in which m is 1 and n is 2 and/or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together form a phthaloyl radical, are useful intermediates for the pteridine building block of folic acid or folic acid analogs. They are obtained by a method in which a 2-amino-3,5-dimethylpyrazine of the general formula II ##STR2## is treated with a chlorinating or brominating agent and, where R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 are protective groups, these are, if desired, eliminated when the chlorination or bromination is complete.

2-amino-3,5-di-(halomethyl)-pyrazines and their preparation

Dihydro-4,4-dimethylfuran-2,3-dione is prepared by oxidation of racemic dihydro-3-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-2(3H)-furanone by a process in which the oxidation is carried out by gradually adding powdered calcium oxide to a solution of racemic dihydro-3-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-2(3H)-furanone and chlorine in the inert organic solvent.
