This study examines relative contributions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the formation of hydroxyl (OH) and peroxy radicals such as $HO_2$ and $RO_2$ during the intensive sampling period (Jun. $1{\sim}30$, 2004) in the air of Seoul metropolitan area. As to the contribution of VOCs to $HO_x$ levels, the impact of individual VOC concentration change on $HO_2$ concentration change was more than an order of magnitude higher than that on OH concentration change during the study period. The contribution of change in isoprene concentration to $HO_2$ concentration change was 38 times higher than OH and that in the concentration of alkene compounds to $HO_2$ concentration change was 31 times higher than OH. Moreover, the concentration changes of isoprene and aromatic compounds (AROM) played significant roles in $HO_x$ concentration changes. On the other hands, aldehydes (ALD2) and alkanes (ALKA) showed anti-correlation (negative) in $HO_x$ concentration changes with low contribution ($-4{\times}10^{-3}$ pptv/ppbv (OH) and $-58{\times}10^{-3}$ ($HO_2$) for ALD2; $-1{\times}10^{-3}$ (OH) and $-15{\times}10^{-3}$ ($HO_2$) for ALKA). Unlike other VOCs, $C_2H_6$ and $C_3H_8$ showed positive or negative contribution to peroxy radicals, depending on ambient air conditions. The contribution of VOC concentration changes to changes in $CH_3O_2$ and $RO_2$ concentration showed similar pattern to $HO_x$ contribution.

Various long chain aliphatic acid hydrazides react with aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes in alcoholic medium in refluxing conditions to give corresponding 2-hydroxy benzylidene and 1H-indol-3-ylmethylene hydrazides, a newer class of mosquito para-pheromones. We describe here synthesis of various novel long chain aliphatic acid (2- hydroxy benzylidene and 1H-indol-3-ylmethylene) hydrazides by conventional as well as microwave irradiation techniques. The structures of these compounds have been confirmed by spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, NMR & MS). Some of the interesting features of the electron impact mass spectral fragmentation pattern of these compounds have also been discussed.

The approximate rates and stoichiometries of the reaction of lithium borohydride, with fifty two selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under the standard condition (tetrahydrofuran, $0^{\circ}$), were studied.Among the active hydrogen compounds,primary alcohols and compounds containing an acidic proton liberated hydrogen relatively fast, but secondary and tertiary alcohols very sluggishly. All the carbonyl compounds examined were reduced rapidly within one hour. Especially, among the ${\alpha}{\beta}$-unsaturated carbonyl compounds tested, the aldehydes consumed one hydride cleanly, however the cyclic ketones consumed more than one hydride even at $-20^{\circ}$. Carboxylic acids were reduced very slowly, showing about 60% reduction in 6 days at $25^{\circ}$, however acyl chlorides reduced immediately within 30 minutes. On the other hand, the reductions of cyclic anhydrides proceeded moderately to the hydroxy acid stage, however the further reductions were very slow. Aromatic and aliphatic esters, with exception of the relatively moderate reduction of acetate, were reduced very slowly, however lactones were reduced at a moderate rate. Epoxides reacted slowly, but amides and nitriles as well as the nitro compounds were all inert to this reagent. And cyclohexanone oxime and phenyl isocyanate were reduced very sluggishly. Last of all, all sulfur compounds studied were inert to this hydride.

The addition of one mole of aluminum chloride to three moles of sodium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran gives a turbid solution with enormously more powerful reducing properties than those of sodium borohydride itself. The reducing properties of this reagent were tested with 49 organic compounds which have representative functional groups. Alcohols liberated hydrogen immediately but showed no sign of hydrogenolysis of alkoxy group. Aldehydes and ketones were reduced rapidly within one hr. Acyl derivatives were reduced moderately, however, carboxylic acids were reduced much more slowly. Esters, lactones and epoxides were reduced readily than sodium borohydride or borane. Tertiary amide was reduced slowly, however, primary amide consumed one hydride for hydrogen evolution but reduction was sluggish. Aromatic nitrile was reduced much more readily than aliphatic nitrile. Nitro compounds were inert to this reagent but azo and azoxy groups were slowly attacked. Oxime was reduced slowly but isocyanate was only partially reduced. Disulfide and sulfoxide were attacked slowly but sulfide and sulfone were inert. Olefin was hydroborated rapidly.

Volatile flavor compounds in commercial crab-like flavorants were compared by mean of solid phase microextraction(SPME) and liquid continuous extraction (LLCE)/GC/MSD methods. A total of 86 volatile flavor compounds were detected. Of these, 71 were positively identified consisting mainly of sulfur-containing compounds (13), aldehydes (3), ketones (2), esters (26), alcohols (5), aromatic compounds (3), terpenes (8), acids (2) and miscellaneous compounds (9). SPME method was more effective than LLCE method in detection of volatile components in commercial crab-like flavorants. Eight S-, N-containing compounds such as dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, dipropyl disulfide, 3-(methylthio)propyl acetate, 3-(methylthio) propanal, 3-(methylthio) propanol, 2-methyl-3-(methylthio) pyrazine and 2-methyl-5-(methylthio) pyrazine, 8 esters such as styrallyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, benzyl acetate, ethyl pentanoate, butyl pentanoate, isoamyl pentanoate and furfuryl acetate were considered as major components in crab-like flavorants.

The approximate rate and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess diisobutylaluminum hydride-dimethyl sulfide complex($DIBAH-SMe_2$) with organic compounds containing representative functional group under standardized conditions (toluene, $0{\circ}C$) were examined in order to define the reducing characterstics of the reagent and to compare the reducing power with DIBAH itself. In general, the reducing action of the complex is similar to that of DIBAH. However, the reducing power of the complex is weaker than that of DIBAH. All of the active hydrogen compounds including alcohols, amines, and thiols evolve hydrogen slowly. Aldehydes and ketones are reduced readily and quantitatively to give the corresponding alcohols. However, $DIBAH-SMe_2$ reduces carboxylic acids at a faster rate than DIBAH alone to the corresponding alcohols with a partial evolution of hydrogen. Similarly, acid chlorides, esters, and epoxides are readily reduced to the corresponding alcohols, but the reduction rate is much slower than that of DIBAH alone. Both primary aliphatic and aromatic amides examined evolve 1 equiv of hydrogen rapidly and are reduced slowly to the amines. Tertiary amides readily utilize 2 equiv of hydride for reduction. Nitriles consume 1 equiv of hydride rapidly but further hydride uptake is quite slow. Nitro compounds, azobenzene, and azoxybenzene are reduced moderately. Cyclohexanone oxime liberates ca. 0.8 equiv of hydrogen rapidly and is reduced to the N-hydroxylamine stage. Phenyl isocyanate is rapidly reduced to the imine stage, but further hydride uptake is quite sluggish. Pyridine reacts at a moderate rate with an uptake of one hydride in 48 h, while pyridine N-oxide reacts rapidly with consumption of 2 equiv of hydride for reduction in 6h. Similarly, disulfides and sulfoxide are readily reduced, whereas sulfide, sulfone, and sulfonic acid are inert to this reagent under these reaction conditions.

The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess potassium 2-thexyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane hydride(KTDBNH) with 55 selected compounds containing representative functional groups under standardized conditions (tetrahydrofuran, TEX>$0^{\circ}C$, reagent : compound=4 : 1) was examined in order to define the characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. Benzyl alcohol and phenol evolve hydrogen immediately. However, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols evolve hydrogen slowly, and the rate of hydrogen evolution is in order of $1^{\circ}$> $2^{\circ}$> $3^{\circ}$. n-Hexylamine is inert toward the reagent, whereas the thiols examined evolve hydrogen rapidly. Aldehydes and ketones are reduced rapidly and quantitatively to give the corresponding alcohols. Cinnamaldehyde is rapidly reduced to cinnamyl alcohol, and further reduction is slow under these conditions. The reaction with p-benzoquinone dose not show a clean reduction, but anthraquinone is cleanly reduced to 9,10-dihydro-9,10-anthracenediol. Carboxylic acids liberate hydrogen immediately, further reduction is very slow. Cyclic anhydrides slowly consume 2 equiv of hydride, corresponding to reduction to the caboxylic acid and alcohol stages. Acid chlorides, esters, and lactones are rapidly and quantitatively reduced to the corresponding carbinols. Epoxides consume 1 equiv hydride slowly. Primary amides evolve 1 equiv of hydrogen readily, but further reduction is slow. Tertiary amides are also reduced slowly. Both aliphatic and aromatic nitriles consume 1 equiv of hydride rapidly, but further hydride uptake is slow. Analysis of the reaction mixture with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine yields 64% of caproaldehyde and 87% of benzaldehyde, respectively. 1-Nitropropane utilizes 2 equiv of hydride, one for hydrogen evolution and the other for reduction. Other nitrogen compounds examined are also reduced slowly. Cyclohexanone oxime undergoes slow reduction to N-cyclohexylhydroxyamine. Pyridine ring is slowly attacked. Disulfides examined are reduced readily to the correponding thiols with rapid evolution of 1 equiv hydrogen. Dimethyl sulfoxide is reduced slowly to dimethyl sulfide, whereas the reduction of diphenyl sulfone is very slow. Sulfonic acids only liberate hydrogen quantitatively without any reduction. Finally, cyclohexyl tosylate is inert to this reagent. Consequently, potassium 2-thexyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane hydride, a monoalkyldialkoxyborohydride, shows a unique reducing characteristics. The reducing power of this reagent exists somewhere between trialkylborohydrides and trialkoxyborohydride. Therefore, the reagent should find a useful application in organic synthesis, especially in the field of selective reduction.

Fermented seasoning pastes were prepared by Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus subtilis using three edible insects, Tenebrio molitor larvae (TMP), Gryllus bimaculatus (GBP), and Bombyx mori pupa (SPP), with soybean (SBP) as a negative control. Volatile compounds were extracted by the headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method and confirmed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In total, 121 volatiles from four samples were identified and sub-grouped as 11 esters, 18 alcohols, 23 aldehydes, 5 acids, 10 pyrazines, 2 pyridines, 7 aromatic hydrocarbons, 10 ketones, 19 alkanes, 9 amides, 4 furans and 3 miscellaneous. TMP, GBP, SPP and SBP had 48, 54, 36, and 55 volatile compounds, respectively. Overall, 2,6-dimethylpyrazine and trimethylpyrazine were found by a high proportion in all samples. Tetramethylpyrazine, a main flavor of doenjang, a Korean fermented seasoning soybean paste, was identified as one of the major compounds in TMP, SPP, and SBP. SBP had benzaldehyde, hexanal, n-pentanal, and aldehydes and SPP with pyrazines.

The condensation reaction of (benzylene)triphenylphosphoranes with carbonyl compounds in supercritical carbon dioxide was examined. Reactions of (benzylene)phosphoranes (ca. 1 mmol) with several benzaldehydes in a supercritical carbon dioxide (80 $^{\circ}C$, 2,000 psi) containing THF entrainer (5%) in a 24 mL reactor proceed smoothly to yield olefination products in fairly good to excellant yields but slower, compared to reactions in a conventional THF solvent. Generally, phosphoranes that are not substituted with a nitro group show more (Z)-selective reactions with aromatic aldehydes under $scCO_2$ condition than in THF. The reaction of (benzylene)triphenylphosphoranes with 4-t-butylcyclohexanone gave the corresponding olefin compounds with a low conversion under both the supercritical carbon dioxide and the organic THF solvent. Our preliminary study showed the Wittig reaction carries out smoothly in supercritical carbon dioxide medium and also a possibile tunability of this reaction pathway by adding a entrainer. The results would be useful for devising a novel process for the environmentally friendly Wittig reaction.
