The participation of nonionic donor-acceptor complex [A] was suggested by the analyses of product isolated in the Friedel–Crafts reaction of m-dichlorobenzene with CH3SO2Cl in the presence of AlCl3. On the basis of these observations a new practical method of methanesulfonylation of deactivated benzenes employing methane-sulfonic anhydride and CF3SO3H was developed.
A novel class of compounds, which act to antagonize the action of the glucagon hormone on the glucagon receptor. Owing to their antagonizing effect of the glucagon receptor the compounds may be suitable for the treatment and/or prevention of any glucagon-mediated conditions and diseases such as hyperglycemia, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
