Method of producing nanoparticle suspensions

Method of producing a nanoparticle suspension with the steps (i) preparation of an emulsion of a disperse polar phase, where the aqueous phase comprises one or more precursor substances forming the nanoparticles, in a continuous organic phase in the presence of an emulsifier stabilizing the emulsion, (ii) conversion of the one or more precursor substances to nanoparticles in the disperse aqueous phase, (iii) breaking of the emulsion and phase separation, where the nanoparticle suspension is obtained as one phase, (iv) separation off of the nanoparticle suspension, (v) optionally isolation of the nanoparticles from the nanoparticle suspension, wherein the emulsifier is selected from compounds of the general formula (I) in which X is O, NH, Y is C(O), NH, R is a saturated or a mono- or polyunsaturated, linear or branched hydrocarbon radical having 6 to 30 carbon atoms and R1 is hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl, and R2 is a saturated or a mono- or polyunsaturated, linear or branched hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably 6 to 30 carbon atoms, R3 is C1-C4-alkyl, n is 0 or 1, and the breaking of the emulsion is effected by splitting the emulsifier.

PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL AND RELATED COMPOUNDS

The present invention provide a process for the production of compounds of general formula (I), Y-CH2CH2-Z (I) wherein Y and Z are functional groups independently selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group and R1R2N and wherein R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are functional groups selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and substituted or non- substituited alkyl groups comprising 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or R1R2N is a cyclic compound selected from the group of aromatic and non-aromatic cyclic compounds optionally comprising one or more heteroatoms in addition to the nitrogen atom, said process comprising the steps of: (i) reacting carbon monoxide and an amine in the presence of oxygen to provide a compound of general formula (II) wherein R1 and R2 or R1R2N are as defined above and X is selected from the group consisting of R1R2N and R3O, wherein R3 is selected from alkyl groups comprising 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and (ii) converting the compound of general formula (II) into a compound of general formula (I) by a process that comprises a hydrogenation reaction.

New stereospecific synthesis of Tesaglitazar and Navaglitazar precursors

A new synthetic route of to pharmaceutical intermediates (S)-1a-b and (S)-14 is reported. The reaction pathway is based on the baker's yeast-mediated reduction of the α-alkoxy cinnamaldehydes 9a-c to give the corresponding (S)-alcohols in good yields and
