A series of N-arylsuccinanilic acids, N-arylsuccinimides, N-arylmaleanilic acids, and N-arylmaleimides was prepared and their NMR spectra were examined by correlating the $^1H\;and\;^{13}C$ chemical shift values with the corresponding Hammett $\sigma$ values. The carbonyl carbons of the amides show a normal correlation with $\sigma$ but those of the imides show an inverse correlation.

The conformational preference of tetrahomodioxacalix[4]arenes with three different para substituents on the phenolic ring has been investigated by using ab initio molecular orbital theory (RHF/6-31$G^{\ast}$) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31$G^{\ast}$). The stability order is predicted to be cone > C-1,2-alternate > partial cone > 1,3-alternate > COC-1,2-alternate. The distorted cone conformation is found to be most stable in a gas phase and the calculated results are in agreement with the reported $^1$H NMR and X-ray experimental observations. The substitution of methylene with dimethyleneoxa bridges increases the size of the annulus of the molecule, its conformational mobility, and the number of hydrogen bonding patterns. The thermodynamic stability and the conformational characteristics of tetrahomodioxacalix[4]arenes are discussed in regards of the number of phenolic hydrogen bonding patterns and the polarity of a molecule. The substituent effects on the para position of the phenolic ring are also introduced.

The kinetics and mechanism of the pyridinolysis ($XC_5H_4N$) of dimethyl isothiocyanophosphate are investigated in acetonitrile at $55.0^{\circ}C$. The Hammett and Br$\ddot{o}$nsted plots for substituent X variations in the nucleophiles exhibit two discrete slopes with a break region between X = 3-Ac and 4-Ac. These are interpreted to indicate a mechanistic change at the break region from a concerted to a stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting expulsion of the isothiocyanate leaving group from the intermediate. The relatively large ${\beta}x$ values imply much greater fraction of frontside nucleophilic attack TSf than that of backside attack TSb. The steric effects of the two ligands play an important role to determine the pyridinolysis rates of isothiocyanophosphates.

The gas-phase pyrolysis reactions of 2-alkoxypyrimidines(II), 2-alkoxypyrazines(III), 4-ethoxypyrimidine(IV) and 3-ethoxypyridazine(V) are investigated theoretically using the AM1 MO method. These compounds pyrolyze in a concerted retro-ene process with a six-membered cyclic transition state (TS). The relative order of reactivity if (IV)>(II)>(III)>(V), which can be rationalized by the two effects arising from electron-withdrawing power of the aza-substituent: (ⅰ) Electron withdrawal from the C-O bond accelerates the rate and (ⅱ) electron withdrawal from the $N^1$-atom, that is participating in the six-membered TS, deactivates the reaction. We are unable to explain the experimental result of the greatest reactivity for pyridazine, (V), with our AM1 results. The reactivity increase accompanied by successive methylation of the ethoxy group, ethoxytert-butoxy, is due to a release of steric crowding in the activation process.

The aminolysis reactions of phenylacetyl chlorides with anilines and N,N-dimethylanilines (DMAS) in acetonitrile at -15.0 ℃ are investigated. The magnitude of ρx (= -2.8 ∼ -2.9) and ρy (= 0.9 ∼ 1.3, after correcting for the fall-off), and the negative sign of ρxy (= -0.12) for the reactions with anilines suggest an associative SN2 mechanism. For the reactions with DMAs, the magnitude of these Hammett coefficients increases so that tighter bond making in the transition state (TS) is predicted. A nonlinear Hammett plots obtained for the DMAs with an electron acceptor substituent is interpreted to result from a more advanced degree of leaving group departure to assist closer approach of the bulky DMA in the TS. The normal secondary kinetic isotope effects $(k_H/k_D>1.0)$ involving deuterated anilines suggest partial deprotonation by hydrogen bonding to the departing chloride ion.

Reduction of N-arylpyridinium compounds by $NaBH_4$ gave mixtures of the corresponding 1,2-dihydropyridine(major) and 1,4-dihydropyridine(minor), whereas similar reduction by $Na_2S_2O_4$ produced 1,4-dihydropyridines regioselectively. The proportion of 1,4-isomer in the product by $NaBH_4$ reduction appeared to increase with the electron-donating ability of N-aryl groups. When the N-aryl group is p-methylphenyl, p-ethylphenyl or p-methoxyphenyl, the 1,2-dihydropyridines in ethanol-water (4:1) solutions isomerized to the corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridines. N-(p-methylphenyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine and N-(p-ethylphenyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine in solid state also isomerized to the corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridines. The different behaviors of reduction among N-arylpyridiniums and isomerization of the reduction products depending on the substituent in N-aryl group were explained in terms of difference in the electronic effects of the substituents.

The rate constants of hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$, N-diphenylnitrone and its derivatives have been determined by UV spectrophotometry from pH 2.0 to 13.5, and a rate equation which can be applied over a wide pH range was obtained. On the basis of rate equation, hydrolysis product, and general base and substituent effects, a plausible mechanism of hydrolysis has been proposed: Below pH 5, the hydrolysis was initiated by the protonation and followed by the addition of water to ${\alpha}$-carbon. However, above pH 11, the hydrolysis was proceeded by the addition of hydroxide ion to ${\alpha}$-carbon. In the range of pH 5-11, the addition of water to nitrone is rate controlling step.

3-Alkoxy-6-allylthiopyridazine derivatives showed the strongest protective effect against oxidative stress and their anticancer effect determined on the growth of SK-Hep-l hepatocellular carcinomar cells. The allythio group as a pharmacologically active group was introduced into pyridazine nucleus and a substituent such as halogen or alkoxy was also introduced into paraposition of allylthio group. Five kinds of 3-alkoxy-6-allylthiopyridazine derivatives were synthesized and their chemoprotective activities examined in rats exposed to aflatoxin $B_1$-toxicant. (omitted)

Kinetic studies of the additions of benzylamines to a noncyclic dicarbonyl group activated olefin, methyl $\alpha$-acetyl-$\beta$ -phenylacrylates (MAP), in acetonitrile at 30.0 ${^{\circ}C}$ are reported. The rates are lower than those for the cyclic dicarbonyl group activated olefins. The addition occurs in a single step with concurrent formation of the $C_\alpha$ -N and $C_\beta$ -H bonds through a four-center hydrogen bonded transition state. The kinetic isotope effects ($k_H/k_D$ > 1.0) measured with deuterated benzylamines ($XC_6H_4CH_2ND_2$) increase with a stronger electron acceptor substituent ($\delta\sigma$ X > 0) which is the same trend as those found for other dicarbonyl group activated series (1-4). The sign and magnitude of the cross-interaction constant, ρXY, is comparable to those for the normal bond formation processes in the $S_N2$ and addition reactions. The relatively low ${\Delta}H^\neq$ and large negative ${\Delta}S^\neq$ values are also consistent with the mechanism proposed.

Four bis-iodosobenzoic acid derivatives have been synthesizd in 5 steps following literature methods from 5-hydroxyantranilic acid; 1) diazotization and iodination, 2) acid protection, 3) tosylate substitution, 4) acid deprotection, 5) oxidation of iodo-substituent to iodoso group. Catalytic effects of new 5,5'-tri-, tetra-, deca-, polyethyleneglycoxy- bis(2-iodosobenzoic acid) on hydrolysis reactions of PNPDPP(p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate), sarin and soman have been measured to determine the role of ethyleneglycoxy substituents as phase transfer catalysts. At $25{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$, pH 8.0, and cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride(CTACl) micelle solution condition, bis-IBA derivatives hydrolyzes PNPDPP with maximum pseudo-first order rate constant($K_{obsd}^{max}$) of 0.32035 ~ 0.13659 $sec^{-1}$, which corresponds to 2~18 times rate increase than those of unsubstituted o-IBA[iodosobenzoate($K_{obsd}^{max}=0.0645sec^{-1}$), iodoxybenzoate ($K_{obsd}^{max}$ = $0.0178 sec^{-1}$)]. At the similar condition for PNPDPP hydrolysis, bis-IBA derivatives also act as efficient catalysts for hydrolytic cleavage of nerve agents such as sarin and soman. Hydrolysis rate constant with 5,5'-polyethyleneglycoxy- bis(2-iodosobenzoic acid) shows 7 times increase than that of simple 5-hydroxy-2-iodosobenzoic acid.
