Title: Manufacture of Delta4-cyclogeranic Acid, and Derivatives thereof.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1905-07-28
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 15,515. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. July 28. Dichlor- and dibrom-#2-cyclogeranic ethyl ester having formulae of the type are produced by . treating isophoronecarboxylic ester with phosphorus pentachloride and bromide, respectively, while cooling with ice. Monochlor- and monobromdehydro-#-2 : 4-cyclogeranic esters are produced from the above-described dihalogen derivatives by warming. The esters are distilled under reduced pressure. By heating with alcoholic potash in absence of air, the corresponding acids are produced. #4-Cyclogeranic acid suitable for making irone and different from the trimethyl cyclohexene carboxylic acids described in Specification No. 11,137, A.D. 1903, is obtained by reducing the monohalogen-dehydrocyclogeranic acids described above with sodium and alcohol. The product crystallizes from hot ethyl acetate or ligroin in prisms which melt at 103‹ C. It absorbs bromine forming dibromdihydro cyclogeranic acid which evolves hydrogen bromide and yields monobrom-#4-cyclogeranic acid. #4-cyclogeranic acid anilide forms colourless needles melting at 158‹ C. #4-Cyclogeranic acid esters are obtained either by the direct reduction of the monobalogen-dehydro- #2 : 4-cyclogeranic esters described above with sodium and alcohol, in which case a quantity of the carbinol C9H15ÀCH2OH is also formed, or by treating #4-cyclogeranic acid with alkyl iodides and caustic potash. In an example, the ethyl ester is produced.

Granted: 1907-12-28
Abstract: 29,589. Lorrain, J. G., [Hills, D. A.]. Dec. 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Elastic-fluid turbines.-The combustion chambers 6 of an internal-combustion turbine are made with open ends. A mixture of air and gas under pressure from the pump 15 is admitted through valves 7 at the rear of the chambers when the pressures in the chambers fall low enough to permit the respective valves to open, and it is exploded by usual sparking-plugs. The chambers are water - jacketed, and spiral tubes 13 in the chambers are connected to the jackets and open into the turbine. Water is supplied to the jackets by a pump 11 under pressure. During the explosions, the valves 7 are locked by a cam 19 and levers 20. When the engine is started water flows freely through the tubes 13; but when the normal running condition obtains, the tubes act apparently as flash boilers, and steam is emitted when the pressure in the turbine chamber falls below the pressure of the steam. The jacket water may be pre heated by a feedwater-heater in the exhaust.
