Characteristic stereostructures of farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) inhibition materials isolated from Artemisia sylvatica and regioselectivity of biogenic Diels-Alder reactions between dehydromatricarin molecules A and B were examined quantitatively. Results revealed that the major reaction of frontier molecular orbital (FMO) interaction proceeds through charge-control reaction between LUMO of A16, dienophile and HOMO of B1, diene, and the isolated 8-acetylarteminolide and artanomaloide were minor products. FPTase inhibition activity and hydrophobicity of 8-acetylarteminolide were $pI_{50}=3.75$ and logP=2.62, respectively. FPTase inhibition activity of 8-acetylarteminolide was higher than those of artanomaloide and dehydromatricarin.

Diels-Alder adducts, carbacephems were obtained when 4-acetoxyazetidine-2-one or (3R,4R)-4-acetoxy-3-[(1R)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]azetidin-2-one was reacted with 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadiene or with 3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-pentadiene. When tert-butyldiemethylsilyl acrylate was used as the diene, products in which was acetoxy group of 4-acetoxyazetidin-2-one derivatives was substituted by an acryloyloxy group were isolated. When the same reaction was carried out with 4-phenylsulfonylazetidin-2-one as a dienophile with 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadiene, 4-phenylsulfoyl-2-butanone was obtained instead of the expected carbacephem. When dimeric form of thiochalcone was reacted with 4-acetoxyazetidin-2-one in the presence of zinc chloride, the $\beta-lactam$ ring of the azetidin-2-one was destructed and no product was isolated. Also, the reaction of 2-trimethylsilyloxy-1-aza-1,3-butadiene, which was obtained from N-methylacrylamide by treatment of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in the presence of triethylamine, with 4-acetoxyazetidin-2-one did not give any products.

Hetero Dieis-Alder reactions containing phosphorus atom at various positions of diene and dienophile as well as standard Dieis-Alder reaction between ethylene and cis-l,3-butadiene have been studied using ab initio method. Activation energy showed a good linear relationship with the FMO energy gap between diene and dienophile, which can be normally used to explain Dieis-Alder reactivity. Since π-bond cleavage and σ-bonds formation occur concertedly at the TS, geometrical distortion of diene and dienophile from the reactant to the transition state is the source of barrier. Based on the linear correlations between activation barrier and deformation energy, and between deformation energy and π-bond order change, it was concluded that the activation barrier arises mainly from the breakage of π-bonds in diene and dienophile. Stabilization due to favorable orbital interaction is relatively small. The geometrical distortions raise MO levels of the TS, which is the origin of the activation energy. The lower barrier for the reactions of phosphorus containing dienophile (reactions C, D, and E) can be explained by the electronegativity effect of the phosphorus atom.

Water-soluble cutting fluids are used for processing of aluminium materials. This short article describes properties of new additives of water-soluble cutting fluids for aluminium materials. Various Diels-Alder adducts of unsaturated fatty acids with acrylic acid of maleic anhydride were prepared by thermal reactions. Triethanolamine salts of Diels-Alder adducts of dehydrated castor oil fatty acids with acrylic acid or maleic anhydride showed excellent anti-corrosion property of aluminium materals. These thermal adducts showed anti-rust property for cast-iron chips, too.

Recently it was reported that cycloaddition of 6,6-disubstituted cyclohexa-2,4-dienone, 1 with cyclopentadiene gave solely the adduct of type 1.while its reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene gave both Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Semiempirical MO calculations were done to elucidate the origin of the selectivity difference between the two dienes. Cycloaddition of 1 with cyclopentadiene is controlled thermodynamically to give only 1-diene adduct by ΔGvalues of 10.6-20.3 kcal/mol, while its reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene does not show 1-diene/1-dienophile selectivity due to similar stabilities of the two adducts. Thermodynamic parameters also show that 두애 adducts are more fabourably fromed in the cycloadditions of 1 with both cyclopentadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene, which coincides with experimental observations. Cope rearrangements of endo adducts are another avenue to convert between 1-diene and 1-dienophile.

A mechanistic possibility for the initiation of the thermal polymerization reactions are envisaged theoretically. As result of the considerations, it is assumed that the thermal polymerization reactions take place via the pseudo molecular complex which has been supposed to be an intermediate in the transition state of Diels-Alder reactions.
