CARBON DIOXIDE CO-FLUID

Paragraph 0082; 0083, (2017/11/16)
A carbon dioxide/co-fluid mixture is provided for use in a refrigeration cycle in which the carbon dioxide is alternately absorbed and desorbed from the co-fluid. Suitable co-fluids are selected from the class of alkoxylated carboxylic amides, wherein the amides are cyclic or non-cyclic. It has been discovered that N-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecyl-2-pyrrolidinone and its homologs exhibit an advantageous property of a high rate of desorption at lower temperatures.

We recently reported on a series of pyrrole Mannich bases orally active in inhibiting the conditioned avoidance response (CAR) in rats.These compounds exhibit affinity for both D2 and 5-HT1A receptors, and some are noncataleptogenic.Such a profile suggest that they may be potential antipsychotic agents which lack the propensity for causing extrapyramidal side effects and tardive dyskinesias in humans.One of these compounds, 1--1-piperazinyl>methyl>-1H-pyrrol-2-yl>methyl>-2-piperidinone (RWJ 25730, 1), was chosen for further development but found to be unstable in dilute acid.In order to improve stability, we replaced the pyrrole methylene linkage to the piperazine ring with ethylene, employed ethylene and dicarbonyl as linkers between the lactam and the pyrrole ring, placed electron-withdrawing groups on the pyrrole ring, and substituted acyclic amide for lactam.In addition, we replaced the pyrrole segment with other heterocycles including thiophene, furan, isoxazole, isoxazoline, and pyridine.Generally, replacemcent of the N-methylpyrrole segment with thiophene, furan, isoxazoline, or pyridine afforded compounds equipotent with 1 in CAR, which were more stable in dilute acid.In the case of side chain or lactam modifications, CAR activity was significantly decreased or abolished, with the exception of 6.For the most part, the modifications to 1 resulted in the decrease or loss of D2 receptor binding.However, within this series, 5-HT1A receptor binding was greatly increased, with thiophene 40 exhibiting an IC50 of 0.07 nM.The CAR activities of pyrroles 6 and 12, thiophene 40, furans 44-47, isoxazolines 49 and 50, pyridine 54 coupled with their weak or nonexistent D2 binding and strong 5-HT1A binding suggest that they may be acting via a nondopaminergic mechanism or that dopaminergic active metabolites are responsible.Pyrrole 6 and furans 44 and 47 show promise as antipsychotic agents based on their CAR activity, receptor-binding profile, and solution stability.
Process for the preparation of N-methylol-caprolactam

, (2008/06/13)
The process for the preparation of N-methylolcaprolactam through reaction of caprolactam with formaldehyde in the presence of an alkaline catalyst at elevated temperature is essentially improved when the reaction is carried out substantially solvent-free at 70° to 100° C. In an advantageous fashion, the alkaline catalyst used is in heterogeneous form. In a furthermore advantageous fashion, seed crystals of pure N-methylolcaprolactam are added to the reaction batch after cooling to a temperature below the melting point of pure N-methylol-caprolactam.
