Besides a variety of quinones, purified bovine liver quinone reductase catalyzed the reduction of N,N-p-nitrosoaniline to N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine. The formation of N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine was identified by TLC, GC, GC-MS and NMR. Quinone reductase can utilize either NADH or NADPH as a source of reducing equivalents. The apparent Km for 1,4-benzoquinone and N,N-dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline was 1.64 mM and 0.22 mM, respectively The reduction of N,N-dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline was almost entirely hampered by dicumarol or Cibacron blue 3GA, potent inhibitors of mammalian quinone reductase. During the bovine liver quinone reductase-catalyzed reduction of N,N-dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline, benzoquinonediiminium ion was produced.

2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone was reacted with o-fluoroaniline, p-sulfadiazine, p-acetoanline, N,N-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine as a nucleophilic substitution to form 2-chloro-3-(N-arylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinones (1.-6.) in good yield. 2,3-Dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone was also reacted with o-fluoroaniline, m-aminobenzoic acid, m-chloroaniline, morpholine, p-acetoaniline, N,N-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine as a nucleophilic substitution to give 2-bromo-3-(N-arylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinones (7.-12.). These new compounds are expected to have a biological activities such as anticoagulant, cytotoxic.

N-p-nitrophenyl poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) was obtained from treatment of poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) with sodium hydride in dimethyl sulfoxide followed by the addition of 1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene in 43 wt% yield. Its inherent viscosity was 0.606 g/cm${\cdot}$sec determined from a solution of 0.125 g of the above polymer dissolved in 25 ml of 98% sulfuric acid at $30^{\circ}C.$ In order to synthesize poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide), 1,3-phenylenediamine is allowed to react with isophthaloyl chloride in chloroform in the presence of triethylamine and added triethylamine hydrochloride. The value of inherent viscosity is 0.560 g/cm${\cdot}$sec measured at the same condition. The substitution ratio of N-p-nitrophenyl poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) was to be 16.7∼47.0% by using the $^1H-NMR$ integration. When the higher inherent viscosity of poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) was used, lower substitution ratio would be calculated.
