The present invention relates to pyran-fused ring compounds, preparation methods thereof and use thereof, especially to pyran-fused ring compounds usable for preparing Halichondrin, Eribulin, or analogues thereof, preparation methods thereof and use thereof. Use of any of the compounds of formula (I) to (XIII) of the present invention in preparation of Halichondrin B, Eribulin, analogues thereof or C1-C13 moieties thereof. Provided in the present invention are intermediates usable for preparing Halichondrin B, Eribulin, or analogues thereof, especially the key product of C1-C13 moieties, preparation methods thereof and use thereof. The starting material for the synthesis pathway of the present invention is inexpensive and readily available with sustainable source and reliable quality. Since the structural characteristics of the reactants of theirself are made full use in choosing the method of constructing the chiral centers, the efficiency in the synthesis is considerably increased, the difficulty in and the risk on quality control of the product are reduced; and using a highly toxic and expensive high-valent osmium catalyst is avoided, which have the cost and environmental friendliness significantly improved.

The present invention is directed to a method of making an asymmetric polysulfide, comprising the step of simultaneously reacting an olefinically unsaturated compound, elemental sulfur, and a thiol in the presence of a catalytic amount of a base to produce the asymmetric polysulfide.

The present invention provides compounds that can be used to form antimicrobial coatings on, for example, a surface or textile, including methods of making and using such compounds. In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods of making such compounds by a single-step reaction. In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods of forming an antimicrobial coating on a surface, including applying such compounds to, for example, a surface or textile, and, optionally, treating, for example, the surface or textile, to form a coating.

The present invention relates to compounds of Formula (I), or a form thereof, wherein ring A, R.sub.1, L and R.sub.2 are as defined herein, useful as FLAP modulators. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I). Methods of making and using the compounds of Formula (I) are also within the scope of the invention. ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of palbociclib utilizing a silyl-protected crotonic acid derivative to produce a silyl-protected 2-chloro-4-(cyclopentylamino)-5-(1-methyl-2-carboxy-ethen-1-yl)pyrmidine followed by intramolecular cyclization of the pyrmidine intermediate to produce 2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one which is then converted to palbociclib.

Isocyanate-functional silanes are prepared in high yield by pyrolysis of an O-carbamate prepared by reaction of a dialkylcarbonate with an aminoalkyl-functional silane in the presence of a basic catalyst, where the catalyst is neutralized by an acid which has a pK.sub.a of all protolysis stages of not more than 4. The neutralized or partially neutralized catalyst need not be removed prior to pyrolysis. The isocyanato-functional silanes exhibit higher storage stability as compared to those prepared from O-carbamates where catalyst neutralization is effected by weak acids.

The invention relates to a composition and to a process for producing the composition comprising essentially water-soluble (meth)acrylamido-functional siloxanols, and to the use thereof.

A process prepares a prepolymer containing a urethane group and a curable silicon-functional group, or a prepolymer of formula (IV),

##STR00001##

The prepolymer may be cured to a cross-linked polymer by ambient moisture and is therefore suitable for use as a component in a one-component sealant or adhesive composition.

An aqueous, storage-stable and preferably colorless composition containing N-vinylbenzylaminoalkyl-functional siloxanols is derived from a reaction of hydrolysis products and optionally, condensation products of hydrolysis products, of at least one aminoalkyl-functional alkoxysilane or a mixture of aminoalkyl-functional alkoxysilanes with vinylbenzyl halide. The composition contains not less than 1% by weight of N-vinylbenzylaminoalkyl-functional siloxanols and/or salts of the protonated N-vinylbenzylaminoalkyl-functional siloxanols and water, based on the weight of the composition. The composition has a pH of 2 to 3.5. A process can be used for producing this composition.

The present invention relates to a compound of the following formula (I): Formula (I),
