Abstract: 501,690. Linear - dimension gauges. TRIGGS, W. W. (Niles-Bement-Pond Co.) Feb. 9, 1938, No. 4016. [Class 106 (ii)] - Relates to the kind comprising a support, a work-engaging member secured thereto, a work contacting member pivotally mounted within the support and extending adjacent the surface of the work-engaging member, and means to indicate the position of the workcontacting member, and consists in detachably securing the work-engaging member to the support so that it may be mounted and dismounted while the contact member is in operative position. The gauging member 12 is eccentric with respect to a portion 13 which is inserted into a recess 11 in one side of the head of a support 10 and clamped by a screw 14. The member 12 is interchangeable with other members for gauging different sizes, the part 13 being of constant diameter while the diameter of the part 12 is slightly less than that of the hole to be gauged. A key 15 engages a key way in the member 12 so that the memberis properly positioned and is prevented from rotating. Pivoted in centres within the support 10 is a lever 16 one end of which extends some distance into the member 12 and is provided with a contactor 19 formed by a diamond, while the other end extends between a pair of coils 22 mounted in a slidable member 23 movable in vertical ways by a differential screw device 24, 25, 26. The member 12 is slotted to accommodate the lever 16, the gauging part having a shoe 21 which closes the slot except for an aperture for the contactor 19. By removing the latter, the part 12, 13 may be withdrawn and a similar part substituted without disturbing the lever. Normally the lever 16 is forced by a spring 33 so that the contactor occupies the position for the maximum diameter for which the gauge is set. A screw 34 limits movement of the lever 16. Movement of the end of the lever between the coils upsets an electric circuit and gives a corresponding indication. In a modification the end of the lever engages the plunger of a dial gauge fitted into the head of the device.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the purification of penicillin salts
IPC: C07D499/22
Filed: 1946-02-11
Abstract: In an improved process for the preparation of primary amine salts of penicillin, an aqueous solution of a metallic salt of penicillin is treated directly with a salt of a compound of the formula RNH2, where R is a cyclohexyl residue which may contain alkyl substituents containing less than 9 carbon atoms and which compound has a pKH value of not less than 10.2.  Preferably, the cooled aqueous solution of the penicillin metallic salt, containing a high concentration of a salting out substance, e.g. sodium chloride, sodium sulphate or potassium chloride, is agitated with a salt of the primary amine causing the primary amine salt of penicillin to separate.  Suitable salts of primary amines are those formed with strong mineral acids, specifically such salts of cyclohexylamine and 2-, 3- or 4-methyl cyclohexylamine.  In examples: (I) and (III) cyclohexylamine hydrochloride of sodium penicillin react to give cyclohexylamine penicillin, and (II) methyl cyclohexylamine reacts with penicillin to give the methyl cyclohexylamine salt of penicillin.  The Provisional Specification includes also the use of additional primary amine salts.  Specification 606,482 is referred to.

Abstract: The invention comprises compounds of the formula: <FORM:0969300/C1/1> (wherein R1 is methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl; R2 is methyl or ethyl; and R3 is hydrogen or an alkanoyl radical of at most 6 carbon atoms) and their 1-dehydro derivatives; and their preparation by (1) oxidizing a corresponding D  5 -3- hydroxy steroid or a 3-acylate thereof, optionally after saponification, with a mild chemical oxidizing agent or with a suitable micro-organism; or (2) dehydrohalogenating a corresponding ring A saturated 4- or 5-haloandrostane; or (3) isomerizing a corresponding D 5 -3- keto-androstene or a 3-keto derivative thereof e.g. a ketal; or (4) dehydrogenating a 1, 2-saturated compound of the above formula or dehydrohalogenating a ring A saturated 2,4-dihalo-androstane to form the corresponding D 1, 4-androstadiene; or (5) esterifying a free 17a -hydroxy-androstene of the above formula or saponifying a 17-ester. Process (1) may be effected with an Oppenauer oxidant or with a micro-organism such as Flavobacterium dehydrogenans, or with a 1,2-dehydrogenating micro-organism such as Bacillus sphacriens var. fusiformis, Corynebacterium simplex or Fusarium solani although these last-named are generally only used if a 1,2-double bond is to be introduced at the same time. For the isomerization process an acid or alkaline agent or iodine may be used, and if an acid agent is used the keto group may be functionally modified. 1,2-Dehydrogenation may be effected chemically, for example with a quinone or selenium dioxide, or micro biologically as indicated above. Examples are given.  Starting materials of the general formulae: <FORM:0969300/C1/2> <FORM:0969300/C1/3> <FORM:0969300/C1/4> <FORM:0969300/C1/5> are prepared from dehydro, epi-androsterone 3-acylates. Bromination gives the corresponding 7-bromo compounds, these are converted into the 7-hydroxy compounds, these on etherification and reaction with alkyl magnesium halides give compounds of the Formula II, addition of hydrogen halide to the 3-hydroxy -5- dehydro compounds and subsequent oxidation of the 3-hydroxy group gives compounds of the Formula III, oxidation of compounds II under non-isomerizing conditions gives compounds of the Formula IV, and compounds of the Formula V are prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the compounds II, oxidation of the products to 3-ketones and subsequent halogenation.  The 7-alkoxy-androstene derivatives of the invention, which are anabolic agents, may be made up into pharmaceutical compositions with suitable carriers.  These may take the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, implants, tablets, dragees, ointments or creams, and may contain preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure or buffers.
