Sugar ester compounds were synthesized in organic solvent using lipase. Anhydrous pyridinc was selected as ;I solvent because of reasonable solubility of sugar. The synthesis of sugar ester compound was catalyzed by Pseudomonas sp. lipase in the reaction system containing anhydrous pyridine as .i solvent and vinyl butylate as an acyl donor. The analysis of the reaction product by TLC and GC showed thilt monobutyryl and dibutyryl fructose esters were synthesized by transesterification reaction between fructose and vinyl butyrate. Optimal conditions for the transesterification reaction were as follows: the ratio of fructoselvinyl butylate, I : lO(M : M): reaction temperature, 40^{\circ}C.$, velocity of shaking, 150 rprn: concentration of enzyme, 10 mglml. The longer the reaction period, the higher the conversion rate, and the conversion rate reached up to 90% after about 10 days of reaction. Monobutyryl fructose was mainly synthesized in the early stage of reaction, but the amount of dibutyryl fructose increased gradually as the rcdction progressed. When a small amount of water was added to the reaction mixture (micro-water system), the reaction rate decreased, while that of rnonobutyr~l fructosc increased. Only monobutyryl fructose was obtained when 1% water was added to the reaction mixture.

Sawdust, produced as an wood by-product, is usable biomass as liquid fuels if decomposed to monomer unit, because the chemical structure are similar to high octane materials found in gasoline. In this study, parameters of thermochemical degradation by acetone-solvolysis reaction of sawdust such as the effect of reaction temperature, reaction time and type of solvent on conversion yield and degradation products were investigated. The liquid products by acetone-solvolysis from sawdust produced various kind of ketone, phenol and furan compounds. The optimum sawdust conversion was observed to be 88.7% at $350^{\circ}C$, 40min. Combustion heating value of liquid products from thermochemical conversion processes was as high as 7,824 cal/g. The energy yield and mass yield in acetone-solvolysis of sawdust was 60.8% and 36.4 g-oil/100g-sawdust after 40 min of reaction at $350^{\circ}C$, respectively. The major components of the acetone-solvolysis products, that could be used as liquid fuel, were 4-methyl-3-pentene-2-one, 1,3,5-trimethylbezene, 2,6-dimethyl-2,5-heptadiene-4-one, 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one as ketone compounds.

The rate constants for solvated electrons with benzene in the binary mixture (tetrahydrofuran-water) were measured at a various temperatures$(-18{\circ}C{\sim}+51{\circ}C)$ by photolysis. From Arrhenius plots of rate constants it was observed that the activation energies were decreased with increasing tetrahydrofuran(THF) content. Decreasing the viscosity of solvent mixtures by adding water, the rate constants were also decreased. It indicates that the reaction of solvated electrons are not controlled by diffusion. The change of activation enthalpy in kcal $M^{-1}$ and the rate constants in$ M^{-1}sec^{-1}$ were 4.90 and $8.80{\times}10^8$ for 30M% of THF, 2.80 and $5.14{\times}10^8$ for 49M% of THF, and -0.30 and %1.43{\times}10^8$ for 75M% of THF, respectively. The slope of the linear plot of activation enthalpies against activation entropies was $244{\circ}K$, which supports the reaction parameter is the change of activation entropy in the range of the experimental temperature. From the solvent effect on the activation energy, it was found that the step of the reaction, ${e_s}^-+B{\rightleftharpoons}B^-$ shifted to the exothermic reaction with increasing THF content.

The rate constants for the solvolysis of $trans-[Cr(en)_2Br_2]^+$ ion were determined by the spectrophotometric method in methanol-, ethanol-, acetone-, and acetonitrile-water mixtures, at 20, 25, 30, and 35$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The rate constants increased with increasing co-solvent compositions. The rate constant did not show any relation with the reciprocal of dielectric constant of the solvent-mixtures. The m values of Grunwald-Winstein equation for methanol-, ethanol-, acetonitrile-, and acetone-water mixtures are 0.109, 0.103, 0.101, and 0.095, respectively. A free energy cycle for the process from the initial state to the transition state in water and water + co-solvent mixtures shows that the change in solvation at the transition state has a dominant effect on the rate. From the above results, it is believed that the mechanism for the aquation of this complex is the Id mechanism.

The rate constants for the solvolysis reactions of p-chlorobenzyl chloride in ethanol-water mixtures were determinded at 30${\circ}\;and\;40{\circ}$C up to 1,600bar. Rates of reaction were increased with increasing temperature and pressure, and decreased with increasing solvent composition of ethanol mole fraction. The plots of ln k against pressure are fitted to a second-order function in P, and values of ${\Delta}V^{\neq}\;and\;${\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq}$ are obtained. The values of ${\Delta}V^{\neq}\;and\;${\Delta}{\beta}^{\neq}$ extremum behavior at about 0.20 mole fraction of ethanol. This behavior is discussed in terms of solvent structure variation. From the relation between the plots of ln k versus the solvent parameter, q ≡ (D-1)/(2D+1), or the logarithmic molar water concentration, In $C_w$, it could be estimated that the reaction proceeds through $S_N1(2)$ mechanism.

Kinetics for the solvolyses of acyl chlorides and alkyl chlorides in hydroxylic solvent mixtures have been measured by conductometric method at various temperatures and pressures. The activation parameters (${\Delta}V^{\neq},\; {\Delta}H^{\neq},\; {\Delta}S^{\neq}$) were estimated from the rate constants. The reactivities of these reactions were also estimated from the correlation of the activation volumes with the activation entropies.

게 껍질로부터 얻은 키틴을 탈아세틸화하여 키토산을 얻었으며, 얻어진 키토산의 유기용매에 대한 용해성을 향상시키기 위해 알칼리 조건에서 고압반응ㅇ기를 사용하여 프로필렌옥사이드와 반응시켜 치환율 3.5의 히드록시프로필 키토산을 합성하였다. 합성된 히드록시프로필 키토산은 고체상 CP/MAS 13C-NMR, 1H-NMR, FT-IR을 통해 반응이 키토산의 6번 탄소의 수산기와 2번 탄소의 아민기에 주로 일어났음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 X-선 회절분석을 통해 키토산의 결정성이 프로필렌옥사이드와의 반응에 의해 크게 감소하였음을 알 수 있었고, 그 결과 유기 용매에 대한 용해성이 현저히 증가되는 현상을 나타내었다. 한편, 히드록시프로필 키토산을 수상에 녹인 후 W/O 에멀젼상에 서 알칼리 촉매를 사용항 에피클로로히드린과 가교반응을 실시한 결과 내부가 비어있는 중공 마이크로비드를 얻을 수 있었다. 전자현미경을 통한 분석결과 중공 마이크로비드의 껍질의 내부에는 스킨층이 형성되어 있었으며, 외부 표면은 다공성이 높은 비대칭 막으로 되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Optical resolution of racemic ${\alpha}$-methylbenzylamine was carried out by using Bacillus licheniformis protease in organic media. Enantioselective amidation of racemic amino with an ester as an acyl donor was successfully employed to resolve the racemate. To enhance reaction rate and enantioselectivity, pH-adjustment by lyophilization of enzyme dissolved in buffer, colyophilization with salts or lyoprotectants, selection of solvents and molecular design of esters were investigated. The optimization of the resolution reaction achieved about 30-fold increase in initial reaction rate and about 12-fold increase in enantioselectivity, respectively.

Propylene epoxidation by $H_2O_2$ (30% aqueous) as oxidant was studied in a semi-batch reactor using Ti-MCM-22 catalyst: Effects of reaction temperature, pressure, catalyst loading, solvent, and $H_2O_2$ concentration on $H_2O_2$ conversion (limiting reagent) were investigated. Product inhibition by propylene oxide was confirmed. Ti-MCM-22 maintained virtually the same catalytic performance over the 5 repeated cycles.

Nicotine was reacted with an equimolar amount of ozone in methylene chloride and distilled water. The reaction mixture was separated by column chromatography or thin layer chromatography and then purified by vacuum distillation. The six compounds obtained from this reaction were characterized by NMR, IR and Mass spectrometry. These were identified as unchanged nicotine, nornicotine, anabasine, ${\beta}$-nicotyrine, cotinine and nicotine-N-oxide. From these results, reaction mechanism for the ozonolysis ofon nicotine was proposed; the pyrrolidine ring is attacked by ozone at the 1'-position followed by further transformation.
