The graphics capabiUties of the CAD/CAM environment offer a number of opportunities for data manipulation, pattern recognition, and image creation. The direct appHcation of computer graphics to the automation of graphic solution techniques, such as a McCabe-Thiele binary distillation method, or to the preparation of data plots are obvious examples. Graphic simulation has been appHed to the optimisation of chemical process systems as a technique for energy analysis (84). 

It must be emphasised that under the optimised preparation conditions, no byproducts, such as carbon nanoparticles or amorphous carbon fragments are formed. Thus this preparation method for PCNTs is promising for large-scale synthesis of MWCNTs, since apart from removal of the metal catalyst tedious purification processes are avoided. 

The pharmacological activity of the 1,5-benzothiazepine derivative diltiazem has given further impetus for synthetic routes to this ring system. A traditional preparation of the intermediate 62 by the reaction sequence shown in Scheme 12 has been subject to microwave studies, when the final product was obtained as a mixture of isomers <96TL6413>. Under optimised conditions irradiation in toluene at 390 watts for 20 minutes gave mainly the cis-isomer as the main product (cis/trans 9 1) in 75% yield. However, reaction at 490 watts in the presence of acetic acid resulted in a reversal of this ratio and a yield of 84%. The... 

New catalysts were prepared after optimisation of the Ugand structure. The most efficient organo catalyst for this reaction was an amido-thiourea derivative (Scheme 43). Interestingly, dissymmetrical ligands were more efficient and selective for this reaction. 

Natural ingredients based lipstick formulations have been prepared. The effects of the natural waxes, oils and solvent compositions on the viscosity and melting point of the lipstick have been studied. The result indicates that the viscosity and melting point of the lipstick can be manipulated by changing the composition of natural candelilla wax, camauba wax and beeswax in the formulation. Another important lipstick characteristic, which is hardness, will be studied. Consumer acceptance towards the product will be investigated. Finally, by relating the consumer data and instrumentation analysis, optimisation process will be conducted. 

During optimisation of a preparative procedure, heating mixtures of 4-chloroaceto-phenone and dimethylamine (4.22 1) at 234°C led to two explosions. Use of a safety screen is advised.
