An imaging composition and element are disclosed wherein an aromatic dialdehyde reacts with amines generated in response to activating radiation. Improved binders are used to insure sufficient retention of the volatile dialdehyde prior to imaging.

This invention relates to the use of oxidized polyamines, and especially aminoaldehydes such as spermine bisaldehyde both in vitro and in vivo to elicit an immunosuppressive response in living cells. It also relates to the therapeutic application of these compounds to induce an immunosuppressive response in living organism.

The novel intermediate compound which can be efficiently utilized in the synthesis of carotenoid compounds based on the sulfone chemistry, the preparation method of the same, and the practical synthetic process for preparing .beta.-carotene by the use of the above novel compound are disclosed. The synthesis of .beta.-carotene is characterized by the double elimination reactions of the C.sub.40 compound containing both the benzenesulfonyl group and the group X (either halogen or ether), which can...

A light-sensitive diazonium group-containing polycondensation product of a diazonium salt corresponding to the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 denote hydrogen atoms, halogen atoms, alkyl groups having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or alkoxy groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and X denotes the anion of the diazonium salt, and an aldehyde selected from the group consisting of dialdehydes, acetals of dialdehyde hydrates, and esters of dialdehyde hydrates, a process for producin...

A phenolic resole resin for use as a foundry binder which has been internally modified to reduce its hot strength and thereby enhance its shakeout property is disclosed. The resin is the reaction product of a phenolic compound; a dialdehyde; and formaldehyde. A process of preparing such resin is also disclosed, comprising first reacting the phenolic compound and the dialdehyde, and subsequently reacting the product with the formaldehyde. The resin may be, in a preferred embodiment, an ester-cura...

A colorimetric assay of enaldehydes or of malonic dialdehyde as lipid peroxidation indices in an aqueous medium including a) addition to the medium of a reagent of a compound of general formula I and their optional addition salts with organic or inorganic bases or with organic or inorganic acids. ##STR1## in which formula: A and C, which may be identical or different, each represent H, ##STR2## wherein A and C cannot simultaneously represent H, with: R.sup.1 =H; alkyl; aralkyl; aryl substituted ...
