To synthesize a new positive photosensitive polyimide precursor, parts of carboxylic acid groups in poly (amic acid) were esterified with 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl bromide in the presence of K$_2$CO$_3$/HMPA followed by the chemical imidization of residual carboxylic acid units. The chemical structure of resulting polymer was characterized by $^1$H-NMR, UV/vis and FT-IR spectroscopic methods, and its thermal properties were examined by DSC and TGA. Upon UV irradiation, 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl moiety underwent the photodegradation. As a result, the polymer became soluble in alkaline developer due to the formation of carboxylic acid moiety, which was used to make a micron-sized positive pattern. Sensitivity curves were obtained from the gel fraction experiments with respect to the various 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl ester contents. From those curves, the sensitivity was ranged iron 4000 to 6000 mJ/㎠, and the contrast was measured to be from 3.1 to 4.9.

This paper reports production of low-molecular weight carboxylic acids from the hydrothermal treatment of representative organic wastes and compounds with or without oxidant (H$_2$O$_2$). Organic acids such as acetic, formic, succinic and lactic acids were obtained. This result increased to 42mg/g dry waste fish entrails in the presence of H$_2$O$_2$. Experiments on glucose representing cellulosic wastes were also carried out, getting acetic acid of about 29mg/g glucose. Studies on temperature dependance of formation of organic acids showed thermal stability of acetic acid, whereas, formic acid decomposed readily under hydrothermal conditions. In general. results demonstrated that the presence of oxidants favored formation of organic acids with acetic acid being the major product.

The effect of wild vegetables such as Allium tuberosum, Allium monanthum, Sedum sarmentosum, Ixeris dentata and Capsella-bursa pastoris on hexobarbital induced hypnosis was tested in mice. Among them, the methanol extract of Allium tuberosum exhibited significant lengthening of the barbiturate hypnosis. When various fractions prepared from the methanol extract of the Allium tuberosum were administered, the chloroform, ethylacetate and butanol extracts caused a significant activity. Through systematic fractionation by $SiO_2$ column monitoring by bioassays, $1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-{\beta}-carboline$ 3-carboxylic acid from the butanol extract was isolated as one of the active principles of this plant.

Reactions of (N-isocyanimino)triphenylphosphorane with (1R)-(-)-campherchinon in the presence of aromatic carboxylic acids proceed smoothly at room temperature and in neutral conditions to afford sterically congested 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives in high yields. The reaction proceeds smoothly and cleanly under mild conditions and no side reactions were observed.

(4,5-Dichloro-6-oxo-6H-pyridazin-1-yl)phosphoric acid diethyl ester (3a) are efficient and selective coupling agents for the amidation of carboxylic acids. Amidation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with aliphatic and aromatic amines using 3a under mild condition gave chemoselectively the corresponding amides in good to excellent yield. Three protected-dipeptides were also synthesized from N-BOC-Phe and O-Me-amino acid hydrochlorides using 3a under mild condition.

In our previous studies, 6-hydroxy-7-methoxychroman-2-carboxylic acid N-phenylamide (KL-1156) was identified as a good inhibitor of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) activation. In continuation of our study, we describe the structure-activity relationship of chroman derivatives containing N-arylalkyl groups and their NF-${\kappa}B$ inhibitory activities. In addition, inhibitory effects of cell proliferation are evaluated against human cancer cell lines (NCI-H23 and PC-3). The most active compounds 3i and 3j contained diphenylethyl and diphenylpropyl side chain on amide nitrogen.

The possibility that 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)-uptake may be dependent on the H+-gradient established across the plsma membrane was tested in protoplasts isolated from 2.5 day old mungbean hypocotyls. The ACC-induced ethylene production was inhibited when the H+-gradient was collapsed by the treatment with carbonycyamide-p-trifluro-methoxy-phenylhydrazone (FCCP). Moreover, the treatment with o-vanadate, a specific inhibitor of plasma membrane H+-ATPase, caused the inhibition of ethylene production. The ACC-induced ethylene production was inhibited by the treatemnt with verapamil (Ca2+-channel blocker), or ethylene glycol-bis($\beta$-aminoethyl ether) N, N, N', N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) (Ca2+-chelator). In contrast, the ehtylene production was stimulated by the application of A23187 (Ca2+ ionophore). The inhibitory effect of EGTA in the ethylene producton was magnified in the presence of A23187. From these results, we suggest that the external Ca2+ influx to the cytosol resulted in the stimulatin of ACC oxidase activity after ACC-uptake resulting from a H+-gradient across the plasma membrane.

The structure and reactivity of ${\pi}$-and metallacycle form in the bis(trimethylphosphine) palladium(0) complexes with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid(A group) and 3-butenoic acid, 4-pentenoic acid(B group) have been investigated by Molecular Mechanics and Extended Huckel Molecular Orbital method. The calculation shows that A groups with large value of frontier electron density of HOMO and LUMO produce $\pi-complexes$ instead of metallacycle. But B groups with small value of frontier electron density of LUMO, especially 3-butenoic acid, form stable metallacycle. Moreover the methyl-substituted five-membered compared with the six-membered metallacycle is energetically stable conformation.
