Disclosed are methods of improving germination rates of plants/crops, as well as preventing or arresting water evaporation loss from targeted soil areas, which allows for improved water usage efficiency by crops, plants, grasses, vegetation, etc.

Soil additives for promoting seed germination, for prevention of evaporation and methods for use

Provided is a process for the conversion of a tertiary phosphine oxide to the corresponding tertiary phosphine, comprising at least reacting said tertiary phosphine oxide with a phosphite compound, in the presence of at least a catalyst. Furthermore, provided is a composition comprising at least a tertiary phosphine oxide and a phosphite compound, and optionally a catalyst.

Phosphine oxides reduction

This invention concerns a method for the production of at least a furanic compound having at least one aldehyde function and electrical power, by oxidizing at least a furanic compound having at least one hydroxyl function.

Selective oxidation of furan based alcohols via electro-generative process

Disclosed is a process to produce a hypophosphite salt defined as [Chypophosphite] by reacting P4 with a hydroxide salt defined as [COH], or a hydroxide salt precursor and a catalyst, wherein Cis the cationic moiety of [Chypophosphite] salt.

Process for the production of hypophosphite salts

The present invention relates to novel cyclic sulphates of (poly)glycerol, particularly to the novel compound of 4-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3,2-dioxathiolane-2,2-dioxide. The present invention also relates to the preparation process of the cyclic sulphate compounds, and to the use thereof as an intermediate to prepare green surfactants containing sulphate groups.

Cyclic (poly)glycerol sulphates and preparation and use thereof

The present invention relates generally to novel methods of preparing compounds such as sulfate betaines by reacting an amine with a cyclic (poly)glycerol sulphate (CGS) compound and the compound such as sulfate betaine products obtained by using the same.

Method to manufacture surface active compounds such as sulfate betaine

The present invention relates to methods of improving germination rates of plants or crops, and of preventing or arresting water evaporation loss from targeted soil areas by use of soil additives, which allow for improved water utilization by crops, plants, grasses, vegetation, etc.
