Acid improving

Commercially, sulfonation is carried out by the classic method with sulfuric acid. Modem reactors are glass-lined older equipment was made from cast iron or coated with enamel Processes often use chlorosulfonic acid or sulfur trioxide to minimi2e the need of excess sulfuric acid. Improved analytical methods have contributed to the success of process optimi2ation (9—12). 

Adhesives for paper tubes, paperboard, cormgated paperboard, and laminated fiber board are made from dispersions of clays suspended with fully hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol). Addition of boric acid improves wet tack and reduces penetration into porous surfaces (312,313). The tackified grades have higher solution viscosity than unmodified PVA and must be maintained at pH 4.6—4.9 for optimum wet adhesion. 

As with poly(ethylene terephthalate) PBT-based copolymers have been introduced to overcome some of the deficiencies of the homopolymer. For example, the rather low notched impact strength of unreinforced grades has been overcome by partial replacement of the terephthalic acid with a longer chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. Improved toughness has also been obtained by grafting about 5% of ethylene and vinyl acetate onto the polyester backbone. 

NaBH3CN, TiCl4, CH3CN, rt, 3 h, 83% yield. NaBH3CN, THF, ether/HCl converts a 4,6-benzylidene to a b-O-benzylpyranoside". The use of triflic acid improves this process because the stoichiometry is more conveniently controlled." ... 

Most recently, a phase-I-study defined a dose of 13-ris-retinoic acid that was tolerable in patients after myeloablative therapy, and a phase-III-trial showed that postconsolidation therapy with 13-cis-retinoic acid improved EFS for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma [7]. Preclinical studies in neuroblastoma indicate that ATRA or 13-cw-RA can antagonize cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation, such that use of 13-cis-RA in neuroblastoma is limited to maintenance after completion of cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation. It is likely that recurrent disease seen during or after 13-cis-RA therapy in neuroblastoma is due to tumor cell resistance to retinoid-mediated differentiation induction. Studies in neuroblastoma cell lines resistant to 13-cw-RA and ATRA have shown that they can be sensitive, and in some cases collaterally hypersensitive, to the cytotoxic retinoid fenretinide. Here, fenretinide induces tumor cell cytotoxicity rather than differentiation, acts independently from RA receptors, and in initial phase-I-trials has been well tolerated. Clinical trials of fenretinide, alone and in combination with ceramide modulators, are in development. 

Phenol-formaldehyde reactions catalyzed by zinc acetate as opposed to strong acids have been investigated, but this results in lower yields and requires longer reaction times. The reported ortho-ortho content yield was as high as 97%. Several divalent metal species such as Ca, Ba, Sr, Mg, Zn, Co, and Pb combined with an organic acid (such as sulfonic and/or fluoroboric acid) improved the reaction efficiencies.14 The importance of an acid catalyst was attributed to facilitated decomposition of any dibenzyl ether groups formed in the process. It was also found that reaction rates could be accelerated with continuous azeotropic removal of water. 

The addition of an ester sulfonate of an unsaturated fatty acid improves the rinsing properties in washing tests. A mixture of 50% sodium methyl a-sulfostearate and 50% sodium salt of sulfonated methyl oleate (30 70 mono-sulfonate/polysulfonate ratio) was used [83]. 

Ethoxylated mono-, di-, and triesters of phosphoric acid improve the miscibility of solvents, especially butylhydroxypropionate, with water [303]. A mixture of monolauryl phosphate sodium salt and triethylamine in H20 was treated with glycidol at 80°C for 8 h to give 98% lauryl 2,3-dihydroxypropyl phosphate sodium salt [304].

Relatively high molecular weight is a feature of the chemotype exemplified by 4-11 and this can require creative formulation techniques. Pharmacokinetic properties of a lead candidate (structure unknown) from the same series that provided 10 were inadequate to provide sufficient exposures at high doses to support preclinical safety studies. However, cocrystal formulations with saccharin or gentisic acid improved water solubility by 50-fold and increased oral exposures up to 10-fold relative to traditional formulations at 20mg/kg [64]. 

For the Ti(OiPr)4/silica system, the advantage of MCM-41 (a mesoporous silica) over an amorphous silica is not evident either in terms of activity or selectivity for the epoxidation of cyclohexene with H202 in tert-butyl-alcohol.148 Nevertheless, deactivation of the catalysts seems slower, although the selectivity of the recovered catalysts is also lower (allylic oxidation epoxidation = 1 1). Treatment of these solids with tartaric acid improves the properties of the Ti/silica system, but not of the Ti/MCM-41 system, although NMR,149 EXAFS,150 and IR151 data suggest that the same titanium species are present on both supports.

In the mechanism illustrated in Figure 6, the combination of the redox and acid properties of the catalyst determines the relative contribution for the formation of MA and PA. It is generally accepted that the higher the crystallinity of the VPP, the more selective to PA is the catalyst (3,4,10-12,17,18). Poorly crystalline VPP, like that one formed after the thermal treatment of the precursor (especially when it is carried out under oxidizing conditions), is selective to MA, but non-selective to PA. On the contrary, a fully equilibrated catalyst, characterized by the presence of a well-crystallized VPP, yields PA with a good selectivity. The presence of dopants that alter the crystallinity of VPP may finally affect the MA/PA selectivity ratio (19). Moreover, the surface acidity also influences the distribution of products (17) an increase of Lewis acidity improves the selectivity to PA, while that to MA is positively affected by Bronsted acidity (2).

Excellent stability and suspendabi1ity are provided to the highly-alkaline formulations by a combination of Acusol 810 and Acusol 820 stabilizers. Both formulations can be pumped with a peristalic pump. Acusol 445 low-molecular-weight poly-acylic acid improves overall cleaning, prevents soil redeposition and, in the slurry formulations, aid in the precipitation and dispersion of the hydrated STPP.
