Bless the Beasts and Children (soundtrack) are cis-syn-cis, head to tail (HT), cys-anti-cys (HT), and head-head (HH). The formation of HH photodimers is favored over HT photodimers with increasing polarity of the medium. Natural Occurrence. Isophorone occurs naturally in cranberries. Synthesis. Isophorone is produced on a multi-thousand ton scale by the aldol condensation of acetone using KOH. Diacetone alcohol, mesityl oxide, and 3-hydroxy-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexan-1-one are intermediates. A side product is beta-isophorone, where the C=C group is not conjugated with the ketone. Applications. The partly hydrogenated derivative trimethylcyclohexanone is used in production of polycarbonates. It condenses 	Isophorone

Trimethyladipic acid and 2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylenediamine are produced from trimethylcyclohexanone and trimethylcyclohexanol. They are used to make specialty polyamides. Hydrocyanation gives the nitrile followed by reductive amination gives isophorone diamine. This diamine is used to produce isophorone diisocyanate which has certain niche applications. Full hydrogenation gives 3,3,5-Trimethylcyclohexanol, a precursor to both sunscreens and chemical weapons. Safety. The LD50 value of isophorone in rats and rabbits by oral exposure is around the 2.00 g/kg. The safety 	Isophorone
15301292	aspects of isophorone have been subject to several studies. History. The use of isophorone as a solvent resulted from the search for ways to dispose of or recycle acetone, which is a waste product of phenol synthesis by the Hock method. Isophorone Isophorone is an α,β-unsaturated cyclic ketone. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic peppermint-like odor, although commercial samples can appear yellowish. Used as a solvent and as a precursor to polymers, it is produced on a large scale industrially. Structure and reactivity. Isophorone undergoes reactions characteristic of an α,β-unsaturated ketone. Hydrogenation gives 	Isophorone

It included The Carpenters' "Bless the Beasts and Children" theme song as well as "Cotton's Dream", later known as "Nadia's Theme" from 1976 onwards. It has also been the theme song to the hit television soap opera "The Young and the Restless" from 1973–present. Track listing. Note that there are three "Bless the Beasts and Children" tracks. All three are different, and have three different run times. The  first one is the 3:07 vocal version, and #4 and #6 are both about 2:12. Track four has a version that is a hybrid between "Cotton's Dream" and "Bless the Beasts and Children". Track #6 is a very different version, with strings playing the melody. It has never been released on CD, and is currently only available on now-out of print vinyl records. A re-release of the 2:12 version (A&M 1890) reached #17 in Canada's RPM Magazine MOR chart, April 16, 1977.
