| Abstract: | Carboxylic acid esters or amides are obtained from aryl, heterocyclic, vinylicThis invention relates to a system for the voltage transformation of a direct current electrical energy and the main object is the obtaining of direct current at very high voltages and also the subsequent reduction of the voltage in a simple economical and efficient manner, that is to say, by the use of comparatively simple apparatus which moreover need not be subjected to inconveniently high electrical stresses. |
