Title: Roofing tile
Inventor: POWELL STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: E04D1/04
Filed: 2007-03-07
Abstract: A roofing tile (1) that has improved resistance to water penetration is described, when laid in a roof. The tile (1) is generally of the type that has opposed sides, wherein at least one of the sides has a side portion that is adapted to overlap and cooperate with a side portion of a like tile, but to maintain an air gap (7), when positioned as a course of tiles on a roof, in an underhang and overhang fashion. The surfaces of the juxtaposed tile portions comprise material that reduces the surface tension of water when compared to the natural tile surface. This may occur by being at least partly coated with a sealant. A preferred sealant is a silicone sealant, such as polydimethylsiloxane. It may be applied in the form of a solution or dispersion in a hydrocarbon solvent, such as White Spirits. Preferably, the underside of the overhang portion (2,2a), and/or the top surface of the underhang portion (3,3b) is coated, or otherwise treated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a "one pot" method for preparing moxifloxacin and its chlorhydrate salt, without need to isolate the intermediate compounds. 
     The new method allows the end product moxifloxacin to be obtained on a large scale with a good yield and in pure form by using a "one pot" method in which a smaller amount of bicyclic amine is used, this being an expensive reagent. Moreover, this method avoids and reduces the times and costs resulting from isolation of the intermediates, and substantially avoids obtaining the impurity produced by demethylation in 8-position of the ring.
