In connection with the synthesis of the biologically active pimarane diterpenoids, some synthetic routes to the quaternary carbon unit were examined. Especially, Claisen rearrangement of allyl acetates prepared from acetol provided ${\gamma}-hydroxy$ acid containing vinyl substituent as the desired unit.

The title compound, ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-dichloro-o-methylacetophenone, was prepared and its photochemical behavior was investigated. Addition of an extra chlorine at alpha position to the carbonyl showed many different features from photochemical reactivities of mono chloro analogue, 2,5-dimethylphenacyl chloride. In benzene, a rearrangement product with a formal 1,5-Cl shift and a reduction product were formed beside indanone. In methanol, solvolysis and cyclization of a common dienol intermediate occurred at comparable reaction rates.

The substituent effects on the fluorescence of 2-(substituted anilino)benzoic acids and their aluminum chelate compounds were examined and satisfactory linear relationships between Hammett substitute constants, .sigma. and the lowest excited singlet energy levels were obtained. But fluorescence intensity only made a qualitative relationship with .sigma. values of substituent groups. Effects of solvents and metal ions on the native and metal chelate fluorescence of the above derivatives were also investigated.

For solvolyses of benzenesulfonylchlorides we determined transfer enthalpies of transition states, and solvent (TFE + EtOH) and substituent effects on rates. We have used the More O'Ferrall plots to show that transition states variation caused by solvent and substituent changes is consistent with an associative $S_N2$ mechanism for the nucleophilic substitution reaction of benzenesulfonylchlorides.

A series of m-, and p-substituted phenyl 2-thiophenecarboxylates and benzoates was prepared by the reaction of the corresponding acyl chlorides and phenols. Their $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR chemical shifts were analyzed using single substituent parameter (S SP) and dual substituent parameter (DSP) methods. The relative aromaticity index of thiophene was estimated to be 0.92 from the plot of the chemical shift of the carbonyl carbons of the thienoyl esters against chemical shift of the carbonyl carbons of the benzoyl esters.

In order to elucidate the effect of alkoxy substituent in thexylborane and hence establish their usefulness as hydroborating agent, reactions of alkenes and alkynes with thexylalkoxyborane (ThxBHOR; R=Et, i-Pr, i-Bu, sec-Bu, t-Bu, Ph) were investigated in detail. The reagents readily hydroborated alkenes and alkynes of various structural types at 25 ℃ in excellent regioselectivity. The selectivity increases consistently with increasing steric size of alkoxy substituent. Especially, the selectivity achieved by the sec-butoxy derivative is comparable to that previously achieved by thexylhaloborane-methyl sulfide (ThxBHX·SMe2), the most selective hydroborating agent known.

A series of the para-substituted 7-aryl-norbornadienyl cation (3) was prepared in FSO3H/SO2ClF solution at -100℃ and their 13C NMR shifts were measured at -80℃. The plots of the chemical shifts (changes in chemical shifts) of cationic carbon, ΔδC+, aganist our calculated new substituent constant, σc+s, gave an excellent correlation (r=0.994), with a ρc+ value of 12.63. These results indicate that the new substituent constants, σc+s, can be successfully employed to compare the relative charge demand of the carbonium ion by π-and πσ-participation.

Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl X-substituted benzoates (X = 4-MeO, H and 4-$NO_2$) with a series of Z-substituted pyridines in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plots exhibit downward curvature (e.g., $\beta_2$ = 0.89 ~ 0.96 when $pK_a$ < 9.5 while $\beta_1$ = 0.38 ~ 0.46 when $pK_a$ > 9.5), indicating that the reaction proceeds through a stepwise mechanism with a change in rate-determining step (RDS). The ${pK_a}^o$, defined as the $pK_a$ at the center of Br${\o}$nsted curvature, has been analyzed to be 9.5 regardless of the electronic nature of the substituent X in the benzoyl moiety. Dissection of $k_N$ into the microscopic rate constants $k_1$ and $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratio has revealed that $k_1$ is governed by the electronic nature of the substituent X but the $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratio is not. Theoretical calculations also support the argument that the electronic nature of the substituent X in the benzoyl moiety does not influence the $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratio.

Influences of alrylamino (R) substituents on the herbicidal activity ($pI_{50}$) of 1-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-propargyloxypheny)-3-(R)-thiourea analogues (1 ~ 35) against the barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli) in the pre-emergence step were discussed quantitatively using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) as the three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) method. The statistically most satisfactory CoMFA models for the herbicidal activity against the barnyard grass had the better predictability ($r^2{_{cv.}}$) and correlativity ($r^2{_{ncv.}}$) than those of CoMSIA models. The optimized CoMFA model 1($r^2{_{cv.}}$ = 0.531 & $r^2{_{ncv.}}$ = 0.931) with the sensitivity to the perturbation (${d_q}^{2'}{dr^2}_{yy'}$ = 1.081) and the prediction ($q^2$ = 0.475) produced by a progressive scrambling analyses were not dependent on chance correlation. And statistical qualities with the atom based fit alignment (AF) were slightly higher than those of the field fit alignment (FF). According to the optimized CoMFA model 1, the contribution ratio (%) of the steric field (76.9%) on the herbicidal activity of the Thioureas was three-fold higher than that of the electrostatic field (20.1%) and the hydrophobic field (3.0%) had the least influence. A steric favor group is on the vicinity of the nitrogen atom in alrylamino (R) substituent, and a steric disfavor group is on the outer side of alrylamino (R) substituent. Thus, as the size of alrylamino (R) substituent increases, so does the herbicidal activity of the substituent.

Theoretical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were performed to study the substituent effect on the geometric and electronic structures as well as the biological behavior of technetium-99m-labeled diphosphonate complexes. Optimized structures of these complexes are surrounded by six ligands in an octahedral environment with three unpaired 4d electrons ($d^3$ state) and the optimized geometry of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP agrees with experimental data. With the increase of electron-donating substituent or tether between phosphate groups, the energy gap between frontier orbitals increases and the probability of non-radiative deactivation via d-d electron transfer decreases. The charge distribution reflects a significant ligand-to-metal electron donation. Based on the calculated geometric and electronic structures and biologic properties of $^{99m}Tc$-diphosphonate complexes, several structure-activity relationships (SARs) were established. These results may be instructive for the design and synthesis of novel $^{99m}Tc$-diphosphonate bone imaging agent and other $^{99m}Tc$-based radiopharmaceuticals.
