Selective ${\beta}_1$-agonist and antagonists are used for the treatment of cardiac diseases including congestive heart failure, angina pectoris and arrhythmia. Selective ${\beta}_1$-antagonists including nebivolol have high binding affinity on ${\beta}_1$-adrenergic receptor, not ${\beta}_2$-receptor mainly expressed in smooth muscle. Nebivolol is one of most selective ${\beta}_1$-blockers in clinically used ${\beta}_1$-blockers including atenolol and bisoprolol. We tried to develop clinically useful cardiac PET tracers using a selective ${\beta}_1$-blocker. Nebivolol is $C_2$-symmetric and has two chromane moiety with a secondary amino alcohol and aromatic fluorine. We adopted the general synthetic strategy using epoxide ring opening reaction. Unlike formal synthesis of nebivolol, we prepared two chromane building blocks with fluorine and iodine which was transformed to diaryliodonium salt for labelling of $^{18}F$. Two epoxide building blocks were readily prepared from commercially available chromene carboxylic acids (1, 8). Then, the amino alcohol building block (15) was prepared by ammonolysis of epoxide (14) followed by coupling reaction with the other building block, epoxide (7). Diaryliodonium salt, a precursor for $^{18}F$-aromatic substitution, was synthesized in moderate yield which was readily subjected to $^{18}F$-aromatic substitution to give $^{18}F$-labelled nebivolol.

Few $\alpha$-Hydroxy-$\beta$-amino acids were synthesized via various nucleophilic addition of the epoxide and followed by stereoselective nucleophilic substitution reaction and eliminative cleavage of the acetal selectively in diacetal compound. One of the synthesized $\alpha$-Hydroxy-$\beta$-amino acid reacted with L-leucine methylester to give corresponding dipeptide in good yields.

The synthesis of 1-[2-(3-{7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptyl} 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-disiloxane (Mono), which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of monomers applied for photopolymer systems based on the cationic ring opening polymerization, was studied. Mono was successfully synthesized by the hydrosilylation reaction of 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene 1,2-epoxide (VCHO) with an excess amount of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) in the presence of a Speier catalyst. The structure and the purity of Mono were characterized by FT-IR, $^1H-NMR$, and $^{29}Si-NMR$. The optimum conditions for the hydrosilyation reaction were found to be 1:4 molar ratio of VCHO to TMDS and 5 ppm of the catalyst at the temperature of $55^{\circ}C$.

Conformationally locked nucleosides are important in searching selective agonists and antagonists for P2Y receptors. There were two previous synthetic works of the crucial intermediate, cyclopentenyl alcohol (3), which had some inefficiency like using too strong dianionic base and synthesis of racemate. Here we describes a facile synthesis of the intermediate using Sharpless epoxidation and the opening of epoxide ring using zinc, followed by Grubb's metathesis as key steps. The intermediate was converted to the southern bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane for confirming its usefulness.

A novel strategy for the simultaneous reduction and functionalization of graphene oxide (G-O) was developed using polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAAH) as a multi-functional agent. The G-O functionalization by PAAH was carried out under basic conditions to catalyze the epoxide ring opening reaction of G-O with abundant amine groups of PAAH. We found that G-O was not only functionalized with PAAH but also reduced under the reaction condition. Moreover, the synthesized PAAH-functionalized G-O sheets were soluble in water and applicable to the synthesis of nanocomposites with gold nanoparticles.

Investigation of structure-activity relationships of novel quinazolines has identified 7,8-dihydro-[1,4]dioxino-[2,3-g]quinazolines as a potent inhibitor of EGFR. These compounds have a benzodioxane framwork, which was prepared by regioselective O-alkylation of ethyl 3,4-dihydroxy benzoate by epoxide ring opening. Compounds 3f and 3k were more potent than ZD-1839 in EGF enzyme and EGFR autophosporylation inhibition assays.

Synthesis of novel cyclopropyl pyrimidine and purine nucleoside derivatives 2~8 with ${\alpha}$-configuration was successfully accomplished using an epoxide-ring opening reaction, lactonization, a hydroboration-oxidation reaction and a Mitsunobu reaction as the key steps. Antiviral activities against HSV-1 and -2, HIV-1 and -2, coxsackie B1and B3 viruses and poliovirus were assayed. Three compounds 4, 7 and 8 exhibit cytotoxicity-derived antiviral activity only in HIV-1 and -2.

The purposes of this paper were to improve both fouling and chlorine resistance by increasing the hydrophilicity of the reverse osmosis membrane. In order to improve chlorine resistance, the surface of RO membrane was activated by ultraviolet irradiation, and then it was modified by the sol-gel method using Octyltriethoxysilane (OcTES) such as the silane coupling agent to low sensitivity to chlorine, thereby the polyamide active layer was protected and chlorine resistance was improved. In addition, polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether (PGPE) and sorbitol polyglycidyl ether (SPE) coating with different number of epoxides, ring opening reaction of epoxide improved the anti-fouling resistance. The surface modification condition was optimized by FT-IR, XPS, and contact angle analysis. As a result, the permeability reduction rate of the silane-epoxy modified membrane after the fouling test was decreased about 1.5 times as compared with that of the commercial membrane. And the salt rejection was maintained over 90% at $20,000ppm{\times}hr$ even after chlorine resistance test.
