4, 5-Diphenyl-2-mercaptiomidazole (I) was reacted with hydraziodyl halides IIa-d togive the S-alkyl derivatives III-a-d. Cyclization of IIIa-d afforded imidazo[2, 1-b]-thiazole derivatives Vla, b and VII. Treatment of 1 with a-chloroethylacetoaccetate (IV) gave ethyl 2(4, 5-diphenyl-2-imidazolinylthio)-3-keto-butyrate (V). Compound V coupled with benzendiazonium chloride to give the corresponding phenylhydrazo compound IIId. On heating V with polyphosphoric acid, cyclization took place and 2-acetyl-5, 6-diphenyl-imidazo [2, 1-b] thiazol-3-one (VIII) was obtained. The compound VIII was condensed with aromatic aldehydes to yield the cinnamoyl derivatives 1Xa, b. The antimicrobial activities of compounds IIIa-d, V, VIa, VII were examined.

Synthetic method for the selective N-monoalkylation of anilines using alkyl halides and triethylamine under room temperature was described. The corresponding N-alkyl anilines were obtained in good yields with minor quantities of dialkylated products. Anilines 2a-m and 3a-m were identified using NMR and IR. A series of 2a-m and 3a-m has been synthesized from aniline, toluidines, ethylanilines, aminoacetophenones, phenetidines. Formation of anilines was undertaken with dropping of alkylhalides at room temperature in methanol (or ethanol) for 3 hours~5 days. Selectivity on the monoalkylation was relatively high. Synthetic ratio of monoalkylated and dialkylated product was 94 : 6 in case of maximum monoalkylation.

Benzonaphthofurandiones containing four coplanar fused aromatic rings were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines, and their inhibitory activity on topoisomerases. These benzonaphthofurandiones were prepared by condensation of 2,3-dichloronaphthoquinone and three aromatic diols with base catalysts in alcohol. The synthesized compounds were o-alkylated with six dialkylaminoalkyl halides. The hydroxy derivatives (8a-8g) exhibited relatively potent cytotoxicity among the prepared compounds. These compounds were evaluated as excellent inhibitors against topoisomerase II (topo II). Especially, the hydroxy analogue with branched methyl side chain (8e) showed high cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines and good inhibitory activity on topo II.

(E,E)-p-Phenylene diacrylic acid derivatives were prepared in moderate to good yields by the palladium catalyzed vinylation of 4-bromoiodobenzene or 4-diiodobenzene with 2 equiv of acrylic acid derivatives in the presence of triethylamine. 4-Diiodobenzene was more reactive than 4-bromoiodobenzene in the above reactions and the reactions were proceeded stereospecifically. (E,E)-p-Phenylene diacrylic acid derivatives and several other 1,4-diolefinic aromatic compounds were also synthesized by utilizing the selective vinylation of 4-bromoiodobenzene.

Anion receptor 1 based on acylhydrazone has been designed and synthesized. UV-vis and $^1H$ NMR titration showed that receptor 1 is selective receptor for dihydrogen phosphate ($H_2PO_4{^-}$). Dihydrogen phosphate was complexed by the receptor 1 via at least 4 hydrogen bonding interactions, contributing from two amide N-Hs and two imine C-Hs. In addition, nitrogen in the aromatic ring could make 2 additional hydrogen bondings with OH groups in the dihydrogen phosphate. However, the receptor 1 could make only 4 hydrogen bonds with halides. Therefore, receptor 1 could bind anions through hydrogen bonds with a selectivity in the order of $H_2PO_4{^-}$ > $Br^-$ > $Cl^-$ in highly polar solvent such as DMSO.

In an attempt to design prodrugs for the Derivatives of the Isothiocyanates R-N=C=S were synthesized eleven novel bis-dithiocarbamates. The best way of preparing the dithiocarbamates was the formation of the dithiocarbonates followed by the reaction of the dithiocarbonates with amines. Thus, the treatment of the diols with carbon disulfide in the presense of potassium hydroxide afforded the potassium salts of the ditniocarbonic acids. The potassium salts were then reacted with alkyl halides to give the dithiocarbonates, which upon treatment with amines produces the dithiocarbamates. In case of vicinal diol (n=o in the above formula), only one of the hydroxy groups was reacted to give the mono-dithiocarbonate. The dithiocarbonates failed to react with amides and aromatic amines. Dithiocarbonates of the different types were obtained when the active double bonds, such as $CH_{2}=CH-Z$ , (Z are electron withdrawing groups), were allowed to react with the free dithiocarbonic acids produced in situ by carefully neutralizing the Potassium salts of the corresponding acids. These compounds are considered to be of some value as prodrugs for the active double bonds.

This study aims to assess the ecological risk of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) emitted in the semiconductor manufacturing processes in Korea by using Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR, EPA, US, EPI $Suite^{TM}$ 4.1). Owing to the absence of environmental standards of hazardous air pollutants in the semiconductor manufacturing processes in Korea, 18 HAPs in the semiconductor field included in both the US EPA NESHAPs and the hazardous air pollutant list of Ministry of Environment in Korea were selected. As a results 8 chemicals (44.4%) of the selected 18 HAPs were VOCs. Cyanides (cyanides) and ethylene oxides (epoxy resins), and tetrachloro-ethylene (aliphatic compounds, halides) showed long half-lives. Cyanide HAPs especially had the highest half-life with the estimated value of 356.533 days. Nickel compounds (heavy metal compounds) possessed the highest water solubility followed by acetaldehyde (aldehyde compounds), ethylene oxides, and 1,4-dioxanes. The halides, including tetrachloro-ethylenes, carbon tetra-chlorides, benzene (aromatic compounds), and lead (heavy metals), are estimated to take the longest time for biodegradation. Tetrachloroethylene, with the acute toxicity end point of 3.685-7.033 mg/L, was assessed to be the most highly toxic substance among the 18 HAPs. However, considering the absence of the HAPs in the common category of log $K_{ow}{\geq}4$and $BCF{\geq}500$, which indicates the standard of bioconcentration potentials, potentials of the bioconcentration are considered to be low.

The addition of one mole of zinc chloride to 2.33 moles of sodium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature gave a clear chloride-free supernatant solution of zinc borohydride after stirring three days and standing at room temperature.The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of zinc borohydride with 54 selected organic compounds were determined in order to test the utility of the reagent as a selective reducing agent. Aldehydes and ketones were reduced rapidly, aromatic ketones being somewhat slowly, and the double bond of cinnamaldehyde was not attacked. Acyl halides were reduced rapidly within one hour, but acid anhydrides were reduced at a moderate rate. Carboxylic acids, both aliphatic and aromatic, were slowly reduced to alcoholic stage. Esters were inert to this reagent but a cyclic ester, γ-butyrolactone, was slowly attacked. Primary amides were reduced slowly with partial evolution of hydrogen, whereas tertiary amides underwent neither reduction nor hydrogen evolution. Epoxides and nitriles were all inert, as well as nitro, azo, and azoxy compounds. Cyclohexanone oxime and phenyl isocyanate were reduced slowly but pyridine was inert. Disulfide, sulfoxide, sulfone and sulfonic acids were stable to this reagent.

This study was carried out to evaluate the temporal, spatial, and seasonal variations of VOC, and to characterize the VOC concentrations in two large industrial complexes located in Pohang and Gumi cities. Twenty -four hours continuous sampling of selected VOC was made with STS 25 sequential tube samplers and double-bed adsorbent tubes. Air samples were collected every three hour interval for 7 consecutive days in each site during summer and winter. VOC were determined by thermal desorption coupled with GC/MS. A total of 27 VOCs of environmental concern were determined, including aliphatic, aromatic and halides. Generally. concentrations of toxic VOC were higher in Gumi than Pohang, and VOC levels in industrial areas were typically several-fold higher than those in residential areas. The most abundant VOC appeared to be toluene for both cities. However, chlorinated VOC were higher in Gumi than Pohang, while aromatic VOC were more abundant in Pohang than in Gumi. Two cities showed relatively different variations of VOC concentrations within a day. It is likely that traffic related sources are major factors affecting the VOC in Pohang, and industrial solvents usages are important sources in Gumi. These results imply that the occurrence and levels of atmospheric VOC are strongly dependent on the type of industries in each city. Therefore, in order to develop any control strategies or to establish the priority rankings for VOC in large industrial complexes, the type of industries and the occurrence of VOC in the atmosphere should be taken into consideration.

Radio thin layer chromatography of organic halogen compounds by neutron irradiation technique was investigated for the purpose of identifying and separating the mixture of halogen compounds. It was found that various halides, organic acids, and aldehyde gave a distinct developing peak both in cases of individual compound and a mixture of two or three components when the samples were developed by solvent methanol. But poly chlorinated compounds and aromatic or alicyclic chlorides gave more than one component peak when the sample was developed after neutron irradiation. Rf value of each compound was distinct and reproducible. The procedures were described and validity of the present method is discussed.
