Method for Cultivation of Monarda Fistulosa for Production of Thymoquinone

Номер: US20130281740A1
Автор: William G. Rohlfsen
Принадлежит: PRAIRIE PHARMS LLC

A method for cultivating Monarda fistulosa for production of thymoquinone includes planting seeds at rates between about 2.5 and about 5 pounds per acre, preferably about 4 pounds per acre. The heavy rate of planting produces plants bearing oil without weed contamination and reduces herbicide use due to production of natural herbicides by the monarda plants. Seeding and mowing the first season, and harvesting in seasons thereafter reduce costs. The method results in increased production of essential oils including thymoquinone and thymohydroquinone at levels up to about 5% of recovered oils, and which may be distilled from the plant.

Novel processes for preparing optically active cyclopentanones 1 2. A process according to claim 1 , wherein M is phenyl or 4-phenylphenyl. This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/216,378 filed Aug. 24, 2011.1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to novel processes for preparing cyclopentanones of Formula 1,which are useful for the preparation of benzindene Prostaglandins. The invention also relates to novel cyclopentanones prepared from the processes.2. Description of the Prior ArtFlolan (Epoprostenol) is the first drug approved by Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. However, Epoprostenol is extremely unstable and normally has a half-life of about 3˜5 minutes and needs to be administered via continuous intravenous administration and be stored at lower temperatures. Benzindene Prostaglandins, such as UT15 (Treprostinil), are derivatives of Epoprostenol and are a new class of drugs for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Benzindene prostaglandins are more stable and thus more convenient and safer in utilization as compared to Epoprostenol.As shown in Scheme 1, cyclopentanones of Formula 1a are important intermediates for the synthesis of benzindene prostaglandins, such as UT15 (Tetrahedron Letters (1982), 23(20), 2067-70):However, as shown in Scheme 2, the synthesis of cyclopentanones of Formula 1a should be started with the intermediate B and undergoes eight steps (43, No. 11, 1978), and would involve more than 20 chemical steps, including the steps for the synthesis of the intermediate B. Such synthesis is very complicated and only achieves a low yield.Consequently, there is a demand in the industry for processes for the preparation of cyclopentanones of Formula 1 and benzindene prostaglandins that involve less steps and are more convenient to operate.The present invention provides novel processes of preparing optically active cyclopentanones 1 and novel cyclopentanones.The ...

Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC or THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are major constituents of the Cannabis plant that have pharmacological properties with potential therapeutic value. This invention is directed to processes for large scale isolation of these two and other cannabinoids from the Cannabis sativa plant. This is accomplished through the discovery that protected amino acid esters of the cannabinoids are easier to separate using normal phase silica column chromatography. Mild base hydrolysis of the esters regenerates the free cannabinoids in a purified form. The invention is also applicable to the isolation of other cannabinoids from Cannabis extracts.

Concerted processes for forming 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene from hydroquinone

Номер: US20180105544A1
Принадлежит: Lockheed Martin Energy LLC

Flow batteries incorporating an active material with one or more catecholate ligands can have a number of desirable operating features. Commercial syntheses of catechol produce significant quantities of hydroquinone as a byproduct, which presently has limited value in the battery industry and can represent a significant waste disposal issue at industrial production scales. Using a concerted, high-yield process, low-value hydroquinone can be transformed into high-value 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene, which can be a desirable ligand for active materials of relevance in the flow battery industry. Methods for forming 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene can include: oxidizing hydroquinone in a first reaction to form p-benzoquinone, converting the p-benzoquinone in a second reaction to form 1,2,4-triacetoxybenzene, deacetylating the 1,2,4-triacetoxybenzene in a third reaction to form 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene, and isolating the 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene after performing the first reaction, the second reaction and the third reaction consecutively.
