A highly reliable dealkylation protocol of alkyl aryl ethers, whose alkyl groups are longer than methyl group, has been developed. We report that various ethyl, n-propyl, and benzyl aryl ethers are successfully cleaved using an ionic liquid, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [bmim][Br], under microwave irradiation. Despite many characteristics such as lower cost and less toxicity of the alkylating agents, and greater hydrophobicity of the products, longer alkyl ethers have been significantly less exploited than methyl ethers, probably due to more difficulty in the deprotection step. Since it has the same advantages as the demethylation method developed by this group including mild conditions, short reaction time, and small use of the ionic liquids, the dealkylation protocol can greatly encourage the broader use of longer alkyl groups in the protection of phenolic groups. As with our previous study of demethylation using [bmim][Br], the microwave irradiation is crucial for the deprotection of longer alkyl aryl ethers. Unlike the conventional heating, which causes either low conversion or decomposition, the microwave irradiation seems to more effectively provide energy to cleave the ether bonds and therefore suppresses the undesired reactions.

Some new podands containing phenyl(B), benzyl(Bz), pyridine(Py), quinoline(Q) and naphthalene(Np) as end-groups, and oxygen(O) and sulfur(S) in ether chains as donor atoms have been synthesized. The univalent cation binding characteristics of these podands have been studied by NMR titration and solvent extraction. By NMR titration we have found that the most of podands form 1:1 complexes with $Ag^+$ ion. Especially, the substituted sulfur atoms in ether chains show the effects to enhance the stabilities. We also carried out the extractions of univalent cation picrates including alkaline metal, $Ag^+$, $Tl^+$ and $NH_4{^-}$ ions from aqueous to chloroform layer by using these podands. We found that the extractabilities of $Ag^+$ ion with the quinoline-containing podands such as, $Q_2O_4$, $Q_2O_5$ and $BQO_5$ were 86.8, 86.6 and 48.0% respectively, but the naphthalene-containing podands such as, $Np_2O_4$ and $Np_2O_5$ extracted quite small amount. Otherwise, in cases of $Bz_2O_3S_2$(89.4%), $B_2O_2S_2$(96.8%), $B_2O_3S_2$(58.9%), $Py_2O_2S_2$(58.8%), $Py_2O_3S_2$(42.1%), and $B_2O_4S$(15.0%), interestingly, $Bz_2O_3S_2$ which have sulfur atoms and benzyl groups showed the highest extraction selectivity for $Ag^+$ ion. This result seems due to not only the strong interaction of $Ag^+$ ion with sulfur donors according to the HSAB theory, but also the effective ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interaction between two aromatic end-groups which is enhanced by the flexible methylene spacing group in benzyl groups instead of phenyl groups. The extraction coefficients gave the similar tendency as the extractabilities and the stabilities. From these results, it could be concluded that the predominant factor affected to extraction coefficients is the stabilities, which are strongly influenced by the structures of podands.

Novel palladium(II) complexes of the type Pd(IBA-NH)(IBA-NH') and Pd(IBA-NR)2, where IBA-NH and IBA-NR (R: methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, benzyl) represent isonitrosobenzoylacetone imine and its N-alkyl derivatives respectively, have been prepared. The ir, nmr, and electronic spectra of the palladium(Ⅱ) complexes have been studied. It has been determined that the isonitroso group of IBA-NH coordinates to palladium through the oxygen to form 6-membered chelate ring and that of IBA-NH' coordinates to palladium through the nitrogen to form 5-membered ring in square-planar Pd(IBA-NH)(IBA-NH') and it also has been determined that the isonitroso groups of two IBA-NR coordinates to palladium through the nitrogen to form 5-membered rings in square-planar Pd$(IBA-NR)_2$. The coordination manner of the ligands is similar to that of isonitrosoacetylacetone imines obtained by Bose, et $al.^5$.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) grafted poly (γ-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG) was synthesized by the substitution reaction of PBLG and PEG having primary amino groups at both ends. PEG-g-PBLG films containing hydroxyl group were also prepared by the substitution reaction of PEG-g-PBLG film and ethanolamine (EA). Adhesion of platelets and activation of plasma proteins on the copolypeptide films were studied. The results showed that platelets are less adhered and activated on the PEG-g-PBLG than on other polypeptides and plasma recalcification time (PRT) on the PEG-g-PBLG was longer than that on other polypeptides. These results were consistent with those of blood clotting time and thrombus formation on the polypeptides. As a results, PEG-g-PBLG surfaces showed better blood compatibility than PBLG or PEG-g-PBLG-EA surfaces.

Cr(VI)-4-(dimethylamino)pyridine[4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium chlorochromate] was synthesized by the reaction of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine with chromium trioxide in 6M-HCl, and characterized by IR, ICP. The oxidation of benzyl alcohol using 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium chlorochromate in various solvents showed that the reactivity increased with the increase of the dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}$), in the order: cyclohexene$H_2SO_4$ solution), 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium chlorochromate oxidized benzyl alcohol and its derivatives(p-$OCH_3$, m-$CH_3$, H, m-$OCH_3$, m-Cl, m-$NO_2$) smoothly in DMF. Electron-donating substituents accelerated the reaction, whereas electron acceptor groups retarded the reaction. The Hammett reaction constant(${\rho}$) was -0.68(303K). The observed experimental data was used to rationalize the hydride ion transfer in the rate-determining step.

$C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ was synthesized by reacting $C_9H_7NH$ with chromium (VI) trioxide. The structure of the product was characterized by FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The oxidation of benzyl alcohol by $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ in various solvents showed that the reactivity increased with increasing dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}$) in the following order: DMF (N,N'-dimethylformamide) > acetone > chloroform > cyclohexane. The oxidation of alcohols was examined by $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ in DMF. As a result, $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ was found to be an efficient oxidizing agent that converts benzyl alcohol, allyl alcohol, primary alcohols, and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones (75%-95%). The selective oxidation of alcohols was also examined by $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ in DMF. $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ was the selective oxidizing agent of benzyl, allyl and primary alcohol in the presence of secondary ones. In the presence of DMF with an acidic catalyst, such as $H_2SO_4$, $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ oxidized benzyl alcohol (H) and its derivatives ($p-OCH_3$, $m-CH_3$, $m-OCH_3$, m-Cl, and $m-NO_2$). Electron donating substituents accelerated the reaction rate, whereas electron acceptor groups retarded the reaction rate. The Hammett reaction constant (${\rho}$) was -0.69 (308K). The observed experimental data were used to rationalize hydride ion transfer in the rate-determining step.

The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess lithium tripiperidinoaluminum hydride (LTPDA), an alicyclic aminoaluminum hydride, with selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under the standardized conditions (tetrahydrofuran, 25°) were examined in order to define the reducing characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The reducing ability of LTPDA was also compared with those of the parent lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) and lithium tris(diethylamino)aluminum hydride (LTDEA), a representative aliphatic aminoaluminum hydride. In general, the reactivity of LTPDA toward organic functionalities is weaker than LTDEA and much weaker than LAH. LTPDA shows a unique reducing characteristics. Thus, benzyl alcohol, phenol and thiols evolve a quantitative amount of hydrogen rapidly. The rate of hydrogen evolution of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols is distinctive. LTPDA reduces aldehydes, ketones, esters, acid chlorides and epoxides readily to the corresponding alcohols. Quinones, such as p-benzoquinone and anthraquinone, are reduced to the corresponding diols without hydrogen evolution. Tertiary amides and nitriles are also reduced readily to the corresponding amines. The reagent reduces nitro compounds and azobenzene to the amine stages. Disulfides are reduced to thiols, and sulfoxides and sulfones are converted to sulfides. Additionally, the reagent appears to be a good partial reducing agent to convert primary carboxamides into the corresponding aldehydes.

Haloarene in which the phenyl group and halophenyl group are connected by alkyl groups were synthesized to study the photochemical behavior. The photochemical reactions of 1-halo-2-(phenylalkyl)enzenes (1 and 2) were studied in several aerated or unaerated solvents. In the case of 2-benzyl-1-halobenzene photoreduced product (biphenyl) is major in acetonitrile or benzene. In cyclohexane or acetonitrile with triethylamine, photoreduced product is obtained exclusively, while in acetonitrile with toluene, xylene, or sodium hydroxide photocyclized product (fluorene) is mainly obtained. In the case of 1-halo-2-phenethylbenzenes (5 and 6), photocyclized product (9,10-dihydrophenanthrene and phenanthrene) are major in acetonitrile or benzene. While the haloarenes 1 or 2 connecting the two arene rings by methylene is photoreduced, the other haloarene 5 or 6 connecting by ethylene is photocyclized. In cyclohexane or acetonitrile with a small amount of triethylamine, photoreduced reactions of 5 or 6 mainly occur. In acetonitrile with sodium hydroxide, toluene, or xylene, photocyclization of 5, 6 occur exclusively. The triplet state is mainly involved in the photocyclization of 5 or 6, because of the inhibition of oxygen.

Selective COX-2 inhibitors were expected to retain anti-inflammatory activity by inhibition of prostaglandin production with reduction of gastric and renal side effect associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This study reported the syntheses of novel 2-thiohydantoin and hydantoin derivatives which have the structure of 5-membered heterocyclic ring substituted with two aryl groups, phenyl group at 5-position and p-sulfamylphenyl or p-methoxyphenyl group at 1-position. These synthetic compounds showed significant COX-2 activities in vitro screening. Among them, 5-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin and hydantoin substituted with benzyl group at 3-position, compounds 5 and 8, could be considered as lead compounds with $IC_{50}$/=13.13∼18.78 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ for the development of COX-2 inhibitors.

The spherical silica powder was synthesized by varying the kinds of solvent and mixing energy in emulsion method. The stirring speed varied from 500 to 1000 r.p.m. at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h. Toluene in benzyl groups and a series of alkanes were used as dispersant. The average size of spherical silica particles decreased with increasing the stirring speed and the chain length o solvents used in this work. The average size was controlled in the range of 134~28$\mu\textrm{m}$ by selecting a proper solvent and stirring speed. The optimum processing parameters were described in details.
