A novel unsaturated copolymer of ethylene comprises a random copolymer of (i) ethylene, (ii) an .alpha.-olefin of 3 to 20 carbon atoms and (iii) at least one straight chain or branched chain nonconjugated triene or tetraene having one vinyl group in the molecule, which contains 30-92% by mol of ethylene units (i), 6-70% by mol of .alpha.-olefin units (ii) and 0.1-30% by mol of triene or tetraene units (iii), and which has a molar ratio of ethylene units (i) to .alpha.-olefin units (ii) of 40/60 to 92/8 (ethylene units (i)/.alpha.-olefin units (ii)) and an intrinsic viscosity (.eta.), measured in Decalin at 135.degree. C., of 0.05 to 10 dl/g. This novel unsaturated copolymer of ethylene is excellent in weathering resistance, heat resistance and ozone resistance and has a high vulcanizing rate.

Process for preparing polyalkyl-2-alkoxy-7-hydroxychroman derivative of the general formula (V): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 denotes lower primary alkyl, R.sup.2 denotes hydrogen or lower primary alkyl and R.sup.3 denotes loweralkyl, by reacting resorcin with either an aliphatic ketone of the general formula (I): ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above, and an alcohol of the formula (II):

Process for preparing polyalkyl-2-alkoxy-7-hydroxychroman derivatives

Novel substituted aryloxyureas, processes for their production, and herbicides comprising them as active ingredients are provided. The substituted aryloxyureas exhibit an excellent herbicidal efficacy against weeds when applied, for example, to the weeds in a wide range of period from a preemergence stage to a growth stage. The substituted aryloxyureas of the invention have the excellent advantage of maintaining high safety on crops or crop plants in spite of their herbicidal efficacy.

Aromatic urea derivatives and their use as herbicide

A novel cyanoguanidine derivative represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein X stands for a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom or a bromine atom, and R stands for a lower alkyl group, is an effective precursor for the synthesis of N-cyano-N'-methyl-N'-(2-(5-methyl-4-imidazolylmethylthio(ethyl)-guanidine (Cimetidine) which has an action of controlling secretion of gastric acid and is valuable as an agent for the remedy of a gastric ulcer. This cyanoguanidine derivative is prepared by reacting a methylvinylketone derivative with a mercaptoguanidine derivative or by reacting an amidinoketone derivative with a halogenating agent.
