Title: An improved process for preparing the hexamethylenetetramine salt of hexylresorcinol sulphonic acid
IPC: C07C309/41
Filed: 1937-04-09
Abstract: The hexamethylenetetramine salt of monohexylresorcinol sulphonic acid is prepared by neutralizing with hexamethylenetetramine the hexylresorcinol sulphonic acid obtained by sulphonating hexylresorcinol or by reducing the sulphonation product of caproylresorcinol.  The product possesses therapeutic properties. According to the example, hexylresorcinol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, the solution neutralized with barium hydroxide or carbonate, the filtrate extracted with ether to remove unchanged starting material, and the equivalent quantity of the base then added.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes the conversion of the acid into inorganic or organic salts and contains two further examples describing (1) the preparation of the acid by heating caproylresorcinol with concentrated sulphuric acid, followed by reduction with zinc dust in the presence of residual acid, and (2) the conversion of sulphonated hexylresorcinol into its potassium salt.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 904,246. Rectifying; phase shifting. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. March 16, 1961 [March 23, 1960], No. 10315/60. Class 38 (2). In a circuit comprising a semi-conductorcontrolled rectifier 1 in series with a load 2 and an A.C. source 4 firing pulses are derived from a phase-shifting network including a resistive and a reactive component, one of which is variable to vary the phase and hence instant of firing of the rectifier. As shown, a phaseshifting bridge has two arms comprising high value resistors 8, 9, and two low impedance arms, namely a capacitor 6 and a variable resistor 7. The diagonal comprises the primary winding of a transformer having a saturable core and a secondary winding to provide the pulses. Variation of resistor 7 controls the firing instant over 180 degrees. A small resistor 10 minimizes resonance effects when the resistance 7 is zero. In an alternative arrangement the resistive and reactive components are connected to ends of a centre-tapped transformer and a single high value resistor is used. The reactive component may be inductive and may be variable.
