The cyclization reaction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N'-phenylthioureas 2 containingambident nucleophile was ex-amined in the combination of a variety ofbases and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (TsCl).N-(2-Hydroxyeth-yl) thioureas 2 were readily obtained in high yields from the reaction of the corresponding 1,2-aminoalcohols with phenyl isothiocyanate, avoiding the need for O-protection.The use of a one-pot reaction (NaOH/TsCl) was found to be most effective in producing the requisite 2-phenylaminothiazolines (S-cyclization) 3 in the case ofthioureas 2a-2e derived from N-unsubstituted aminoalcohols,while in the thioureas 2f and 2g prepared from N-substituted aminoalcohols the combination of Et3N and TsCl led to the S-cyclization products.

Photolysis of (2-hydroxyethoxyphenyl)pentamethyldisilane 2 in benzene provides a novel intramolecular cyclization photoproduct 9 which was probably formed from the intramolecular reaction to form a seven-membered ring in silatriene intermediate 7 and then the photochemical disrotatory ring closure of 1,3-butadiene moiety to cyclobutene. Irradiation of 2 in methanol afforded photoproducts 5 and 6 which were formed by the nucleophilic attack of methanol to $\beta$ or $\alpha$ silicon atom in pentamethyldisilanyl group of the photoexcited state of 2. Compounds 10 and 11 were also formed by the same way as in the formation of the photoproducts 5 and 6 in the photolysis of (2-allyloxyethoxyphenyl)pentamethyldisilane 3 in methanol solvent. Photoreaction of (2-acetoxyethoxyphenyl) pentamethyldisilane 4 in methanol gave a photoproduct 12 which was formed via the elimination of dimethylsilylene species in the photoexcited state of 4.

The pathway producing imide ring closure during the thermal imidization of poly(amic acid) (PAA) was investigated in detail using a new analytical method, two-dimensional (2D) Raman correlation spectroscopy. The signs of the cross peaks in synchronous spectra provided evidence of the thermal imidization of PAA into PI as the heating temperature increased. The signs of the cross peaks in asynchronous spectra suggested that the imide-related modes changed prior to the amide or carboxylic mode, which indicates that cyclization occurred before the amide proton was abstracted.
