The present invention relates to an improved asymmetric synthesis of alpha-(diarylmethyl) alkyl amines (hereafter referred to as the compound (1)) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt and derivatives. The process comprises an unusual substrate specific regioselective lithiation of alpha-diarylmethanes, followed by its highly diastereoselective addition to N-tert-butanesulfinylimines resulting in the selective formation of chiral alpha-(diarylmethyl) alkyl amines 4 and chiral amine 5; which on subsequently removing the sulfinyl group provides corresponding alpha-(diarylmethyl) alkyl amines (1) or relative chiral amines (1).

Disclosed is an electrochemical cell, which may be used for advanced rechargeable batteries. The electrochemical cell comprises two or more electrodes within an electrolyte solution, where the electrolyte solution containing (i) an aliphatic or cyclic sulfone and (ii) a metal perfluoroalkylsulfonylimide salt.

A coated biological composition has a mixture of biologic material and a volume of a liquid protectant. The mixture of biologic material has non-whole cellular components or whole cells or combinations of the non-whole cellular components and whole cells, wherein the mixture is compatible with biologic function. The volume of a liquid protectant is intermixed with the mixture of biologic material, wherein the liquid protectant forms a coating externally enveloping each of the non-whole cellular components, if any, and each of the whole cells, if any, of the mixture of biologic material, to form the coated biological composition. The coated biological composition is frozen and thereafter thawed and then frozen a second time for storage or frozen at least once and thawed and stored under refrigeration above freezing, or frozen and thawed and then concentrated by drying, or while frozen without thawing lyophilized for ambient or room temperature storage.
