20130267681 | CHEMICAL LIGATION BY RING OPENING OF OXO-THIOMORPHOLINES - The invention discloses processes for preparing compounds comprising an α-amino acid motif. The compounds are useful in e.g. the chemical ligation of peptides. | 10-10-2013 |
20130018110 | HYDROGEL SYNTHESISAANM Khutoryanskiy; VitaliyAACI ReadingAACO GBAAGP Khutoryanskiy; Vitaliy Reading GBAANM Khutoryanskaya; OlgaAACI ReadingAACO GBAAGP Khutoryanskaya; Olga Reading GBAANM Cook; Joseph PeterAACI ReadingAACO GBAAGP Cook; Joseph Peter Reading GBAANM Goodall; Glenn WilliamAACI PeterboroughAACO GBAAGP Goodall; Glenn William Peterborough GB - The invention provides a method for preparing a hydrogel from a hydrophilic polymer having one or more functional groups which are capable of co-reacting in a condensation reaction which method comprises the steps of: (i) preparing a solution of the polymer; (ii) heating the solution to a temperature sufficient for the condensation reaction to take place for a period of time sufficient for the hydrogel to cross-link wherein where the hydrophilic polymer comprises a first and a second hydrophilic polymer, step (i) comprises a step of mixing the hydrophilic polymers to prepare a homogeneous intimate mixture of the polymers; and wherein the heating step (ii) is carried out at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. The method of the invention is advantageous because it is relatively low cost, it is a safer procedure with less health & safety concerns, it is carried out in a liquid state and is not limited by film thickness. | 01-17-2013 |
20120264935 | SYNTHESIS OF LIGANDS FOR USE IN ACTINIDE EXTRACTION - The invention discloses an improved process for the preparation of 2,2,5,5-tetrasubstituted hexane-1,6-dicarbonyl compounds, and in particular diethyl 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexanedioate and dimethyl 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexanedioate, by the alkylation of 1,2-difunctional ethane compounds with enolates of carbonyl compounds. The process provides higher yields and greater synthetic brevity than existing processes. | 10-18-2012 |
