A 3,5-dioxa-12-azawurtzitane compound represented by the formula (I) shown in the specification. The dioxaazawurtzitane compound may be prepared by reacting an amino acid, an oligo- or polypeptide or a polyamino acid with a trialdehyde represented by formula (II) shown in the specification.

3,5-dioxa-12-azawurtzitane compound and process of preparing same

A method of producing a synthesis gas by a reforming reaction of an organic compound with a reforming agent, in which the reforming reaction is performed using nonthermal plasma.

Process for production of hydrogen using nonthermal plasma

A lactam-aldehyde compound represented by the formula (I) shown in the specification. The lactam-aldehyde compound may be prepared by subjecting a lactone-imine compound represented by formula (III) shown in the specification to an isomerization reaction. The precursor lactone-imine compound may be prepared by rearrangement of a 3,5-dioxa-12-azawurtzitane compound.

There is disclosed a method of treating a fire-retardant resin material, or a thermosetting resin material whose base is an epoxy resin or an ABS resin, to yield oil substances, which method comprises causing hydrocracking of a resin material in a hydrogen-donating solvent in the presence of a porous carbonaceous substance in a nitrogen atmosphere at 300 to 420.degree. C., to yield an oil substance. According to the treatment method to yield oil substances, fire-retardant resin materials and thermosetting resin materials whose decomposition has hitherto been difficult, can be converted entirely to oil substances, which can be reused as fuels or the like, and the volume of the resin materials can be reduced considerably. Therefore, the method can greatly contribute to the waste disposal and recycling.
