Process for the production of a diacyl peroxide involving the reaction of an anhydride with a peroxyacid, removal of the formed carboxylic acid, production of an anhydride from said carboxylic acid, and recycling of the anhydride within the process.

The present invention is directed to an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly process for the production of chemical target compounds from cellulosic material. In a further aspect, the present invention is directed to a system for conducting the process according to the inventive process.

The invention provides processes for the conversion of pyruvate obtained from sugars or other carbon sources, to valuable C5 materials such as levulinic acid, levulinate esters, valerolactone, and derivatives thereof.

Disclosed is a method of hydrogenating an1,2-unsaturated carbonylic compound to obtain the corresponding saturated carbonylic compound in the presence of a palladium catalyst with heterogeneous distribution of palladium.

The invention provides a method of oxidative cleavage of an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond, said method comprising contacting a reactant molecule containing a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond with a catalytic system comprising (i) either a mixture of tungstate salt and tungstic acid or a mixture of a molybdate salt and molybdic acid; (ii) an aqueous solution of dihydrogen peroxide; (iii) a phase-transfer catalyst; and (iv) a carboxylic acid.

Compositions and methods for producing monoclonal antibodies and their derivatives reactive against bioactive lipid targets are described. These compositions include derivatized lipids, each of which comprises a bioactive lipid that having a polar head group and at least one hydrocarbon chain (e.g., a lysolipid such as lysophosphatidic acid) in which a carbon atom has been derivatized with a pendant reactive group; immunogens made by linking a derivatized lipid to a carrier moiety (e.g., a earner protein, polyethylene glycol); monoclonal antibodies and derivatives produced by immunizing an animal with such an immunogen; and therapeutic and diagnostic compositions containing such antibodies and antibody derivatives. Methods for making such derivatized lipids, immunogens, and monoclonal antibodies and derivatives, and detecting or using such antibodies once generated, are also described.
