Various metal oxides such as Fe2O3, FeO, TiO2, MnO2, MoO3, WO3 and ZnO have been used as a catalyst for Gif-KRICT type cyclohexane oxidation. In this reaction, the conversion of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol and the selectivity ratio of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol were greatly affected by the acidity of metal oxides. When metal oxide has more acidic property, the reactivity on oxidation is increased and the formation of cyclohexanone is more favored. From this result, we proposed a new mechanism for the biomimetic Gif-KRICT oxidation system.

The kinetics of oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid and benzoylformic acid by peroxomonophosphoric acid (PMPA) in aqueous medium have been investigated. The reaction follows second order-first order each in PMPA and substrate concentration a t constant pH. The reactivity of different peroxo species in the oxidation has been determined. Activation energy and thermodynamic parameters have been computed. A plausible mechanism consistent with the observed results is proposed.

The aminolysis reactions of thiophenyl phenylacetates with benzylamines are investigated in acetonitrile at 55.0℃. Relatively large selectivity parameters, βx≒ 1.5, βz = -1.5~-1.8 and βxz = 0.92 together with the valid reactivity-selectivity principle are consistent with stepwise acyl transfer mechanism with rate limiting expulsion of the leaving group, thiophenolate anion, from the tetrahedral intermediate, T ± . The first order kinetics with respect to the benzylamine concentration and the realtively large secondary kinetic isotope effect (kH / kD = 1.2-1.7) involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles suggest a four center type transition state in which concurrent leaving group departure and proton transfer are involved.

The mechanism of nucleophilic displacement was studied by using three variable systems of ${\rho}_X,\; {\rho}_Y,\; and {\rho}_Z$ obtained from the change of substituent X, Y, and Z for the reaction of (Z)-substituted benzyl (X)-benzensulfonates with (Y)-substituted thiobenzamides in acetone at 45 ℃. The results ${\rho}_Z$<0 and ${\rho}_YZ$>${\rho}_XZ$ indicate that this reaction series proceeded via a dissociative $S_N2$ mechanism. The prediction of the movement of TS by using the sign of ${\rho}_XZ{\cdot}{\rho}_{YZ}$ accorded with the Hammond postulate.

Aminolysis of aryl thiol-2-furoates and thiol-2-thiophenates with benzylainines are investigated in acetonitrile at 50.0 ℃. Relatively large selectivity parameters, ρx(βx), ρz(βx) and ρxz (> 0) together with the valid reactivity-selectivity principle are consistent with a stepwise acyl transfer mechanism with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group, thiophenolate anion, from the tetrahedral intermediate, T±. The first-order kinetics with respect to the benzylamine concentration and the relatively large secondary kinetic isotope effect involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles suggest a four-center type transition state in which concurrent leaving group departure and proton transfer are involved.

The polarizability and the transition state energy of a cephalosporin are assumed to be theoretical indices of the permeability through the outer membrane and of reactivity of ${\beta}$ -lactam ring with penicillin binding proteins, respectively, in Gram-negative bacteria. They are computed by AM1 method and used as variables of quantitative structure-activity relationship study. The results justify quadratic dependence of the activity on the variables. The intersection of difference volumes between $\beta-lactamase$ stable cephalosporins and unstable ones manifests that the steric hindrance of 7-side chain is responsible for the ${\beta}$ -lactamase stability.

The Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions between dienes and allenic ketones were studied theoretically using CNDO/2 method. It was found that the reaction is a neutral electron demand type with matrix element control and the reactivity, the regio- and stereo-selectivities can be correctly predicted based on interaction energies calculated with the 4-center FMO formalism.

Nucleophilic substitution reaction of dansyl chloride with anilines in various solvents have been investigated. The Bronsted ${\beta}$ and Hammett ${\rho}_N$ values indicated that the bond formation is advanced more than the bond breaking at the transition state. Solvatochromic correlations also predicted the importance of bond formation at the TS, showing a greater contribution of polarity (${\pi}^{\ast}$) compared to hydrogen bond donor acidity (${\alpha}$). The effect of solvent on rate was found to violate the reactivity-selectivity principle.

The cycloaddition reactions of the N-heterocyclic carbene boryl azide with methyl acrylate, butenone, and hexafluoropropene have been investigated theoretically. Solvent effects on these reactions have been explored by calculation that included a polarizable continuum model (PCM) for the solvent (C6H6). The title reaction could produce 4- and 5-substituted 1,2,3-triazolines, respectively. The reaction systems have the higher chemical reactivity with the low barriers and could be favored. Yet the smaller differences have been found to occur in energetics, and the cycloaddition reactions occur for s-trans conformations over s-cis conformations. The calculations indicated that the cycloaddition reaction of the alkenes have certain regioselectivity.

Various terphenyl and quaterphenyl derivatives were prepared by the Ni-NHC catalyzed cross coupling of the corresponding biphenyl- and terphenyl-sulfonates with arylmagnesium bromides. The reactions proceeded rapidly via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the alkoxysulfonyl moieties by the aryl nucleophiles to afford high yields within just 1.5 h at room temperature in spite of the low reactivity of the sulfur electrophiles.
