The rate constants of the hydrolysis of cinnamanilide derivatives were determined UV spectrometry in $H_2SO_4\;(5{\sim}20N)$, NaOH($5{\sim}11N)\;at\;50{\sim}110^{\circ}C$ and rate equation could be applied over a strong acid and strong base were obtained. Final product of the hydrolysis was a cinnamic acid. The ${\rho}$ values obtained from the slope of linear plots of log $k_{abs}$ vs. Hammet $t{\sigma}$ constants were slightly negatives, Substituents on cinnamanilide showed a relatively small effect, with hydrolysis facilitated be electron donating group. Activation energy(Ea)was also calculated for the hydrolysis of the cinnamanilide. From this reaction rate equation, substituent effect and experimental of rate constants, that the hydrolysis of cinnamanillde was Initiated by the netural molecule of $H_2O$ which do not dissociate at strong acid, and proceeded by hydroxide ion at strong base.

The stability of liquid ferrate(VI) produced by an innovative method was confirmed and the degradation characteristics of cyclic compounds(Benzene, Aniline, Toluene, 1,4-Dioxane) by liquid ferrate(VI) were investigated under the same reaction conditions. When it was compared with the ferrate manufactured by the wet oxidation method, the liquid ferrate was more stable. And the stability of liquid ferrate was tested at the storage temperature. As a result, only 17.7% of liquid ferrate(VI) has decomposed at the storage temperature($4^{\circ}C$) for 28 days. Among the cyclic compounds, the aniline was rapidly degraded compare to other cyclic compounds, which seems to be due to the electron-donating ability of the substituent, $-NH_2$ group. Especially, when 1,4-dioxane was compared with benzene, the decomposition rate of 1,4-dioxane was lower than that of benzene, suggesting that oxygen atoms hinder the electrophilic reaction. Among 4 cyclic compounds, it was observed that aniline has the highest rate constant than those of other cyclic compounds.

We report the application of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to the calculation of potential energy profile relevant to the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes in title molecules. The TDDFT single point energy calculations along the reaction path have been performed using the CIS optimized structure in the excited state. In addition to the Stokes shifts, the transition energies including absorption, fluorescence, and 0-0 transition are estimated from the TDDFT potential energy profiles along the proton transfer coordinate. The excited state TDDFT potential energy profile of SA and 3ASA resulted in very flat function of the OH distance in the range ROH = 1.0-1.6 A, in contrast to the relatively deep single minimum function in the ground state. Furthermore, we obtained very shallow double minima in the excited state potential energy profile of SA and 3ASA in contrast to the single minimum observed in the previous work. The change of potential energy profile along the reaction path induced by the substitution of electron donating groups (-NH2 and -OCH3) at different sites has been investigated. Substitution at para position with respect to the phenolic OH group showed strong suppression of excited state proton dislocation compared with unsubstitued SA, while substitution at ortho position hardly affected the shape of the ESIPT curve. The TDDFT results are discussed in comparison with those of CASPT2 method.

The proton affinities of substituted imidazoles, relevant to the binding of lexitropsins that contain imidazole ring to the base pair (G-C sequence) of minor groove of DNA, are studied with the aid of EHT calculations. It is shown that proton affinity of imidazole substituted at position $\alpha$ to the basic nitrogen is slightly larger than that of imidazole substituted at N for the methylimidazole. Proton affinities of N-substituted imidazoles are found to be larger than those of imidazoles substituted at position ${\alpha}$ for a selected set of the other derivatives. As predicted the proton affinity increases when electron-donating group is attached at position N of imidazole.

The rates for the reaction of substituted 2-phenylethyl tosylates with substituted pyridines were measured in acetonitrile and that of 2-PNS with substituted pyridines were investigated in both acetonitrile and methanol. The substitutent effect was accelerated by an electron-donating substituent on both substrate and nucleophile. Results showed that More O'Ferrall and quantum mechanical model of predicting transition state structure suggest the reaction proceeds via an $S_N2$ mechanism, in which bond-breaking is more advanced than bond-formation. Transition state variation predicted with the quantum mechanical model is consistent with the experimental results, whereas the predictions provided by the More O'Ferrall plots is found to be inconsistent in leaving group. In the reaction of 2-PNS, the rate constants in acetonitrile were larger than that in methanol.

Second-order rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the Michael-type reaction of 1-(Xsubstituted phenyl)-2-propyn-1-ones (2a-f) with amines in $H_2O$ at 25.0 ${\pm}$ 0.1 ${^{\circ}C}$. A linear Brønsted-type plot is obtained with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.25 ${\pm}$ 0.02, a typical $\beta_{nuc}$ value for reactions which proceed through a stepwise mechanism with attack of amine on the electrophilic center being the rate-determining step. Secondary alicyclic amines are found to be more reactive than isobasic primary amines. The Hammett plot for the reactions of 2a-f with morpholine is not linear, i.e., the substrate with a strong electron-donating group (e.g., 4-MeO) exhibits a negative deviation from the Hammett plot. However, the Yukawa-Tsuno plot for the same reactions exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ρ = 0.62 and r = 0.82. Thus, it has been proposed that the nonlinear Hammett plot is not due to a change in the ra te-determining step but due to ground-state stabilization through resonance interactions.

The kinetics of the addition of thiourea to cinnamenylisophorone derivatives(X : H, p-Br, $p-CH_3$ $m-CH_3$, $p-OCH_3$) was investigated using ultraviolet spectrophotometry in 20%(v/v) dioxane-$H_2O$ at $25^{\circ}C$. A rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range(pH $1.0{\sim}13.0$) was obtained. In order to investigate the substituent effects of cinnamenylisophorone derivatives. Hammett constant was plotted. As the result, the rate of uncleophilic addition of thiourea to cinnamenylisophorone derivatives was facilitated by electron donating group. It was found that addition of neutral thiourea which was not dissociated at the pH $1.0{\sim}9.0$ was proceeded, the reaction was proceeded by addition of dissociated anion of thiourea above the pH 10.0. On the basis of this kinetic study, the reaction mechanism of nucleophilic addition of thiourea was investigated.

The effect of diisocyanate type on the decomposition temperature of polyurethane (PU) hydrolysis was investigated in a subcritical water medium up to 250℃. PU samples were prepared using different types of diisocyanate: two aromatic diisocyanates (4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and methyl phenylene diisocyanate (TDI)), one unbranched aliphatic diisocyanate (hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)), and two cyclic aliphatic diisocyanates (4,4'-methylene dicyclohexyl diisocyanate (H₁₂MDI) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI)). The pressure had no effect on hydrolysis in the range of 70-250 bar. The decomposition temperature of the PU samples increased in the following order: TDI-PU (199℃) < H₁₂MDI ≈ IPDI ≈ HDI (218-220℃) < MDI-PU (237℃). This order of increase in temperature is related to the electron-donating ability of the group to connected to the nitrogen of the urethane unit. When the temperature of the (PU + water) mixture reached the specific decomposition temperature, the PU samples hydrolyzed completely within 5 min into primary amine and 1,4-butanediol. The hydrolysis products from MDI-PU and H₁₂MDI-PU were separated into a liquid phase rich in (BD + water) and a solid low phase rich in amine, whereas the products from TDI-, IPDI-, and HDI-PU existed in a single aqueous phase.

A series of new 2-N-benzyl-5-phenoxy-3-isothiazolone derivatives were synthesized and their in vitro antifungal activities against resistant Phytophthora capsici (RPC) & sensitive Phytophthora capsici (SPC) with metalaxyl fungicide have been measured. In addition, influence of substituted 5-phenoxy group on the -antifungal activities ($pI_{50}$) and the reactivity of substrates were investigated. From the results, reactivity of none substituted substrate showed tendency displaying orbital-controlled reaction. The substituents on the 5-phenoxy ring showed selective fungicidal activity between SPC and RPC. Especially, the 4-fluoro substituent, 6 in the RPC and 4-nitro substituent, 3 in SPC exhibited strongly selective antifungal activity among them. The activities on the SPC would depend largely on the optimal molar refractivity ($MR_{(opt.)}=7.37cm^3/mol$) whereas the activities on the RPC would depend largely on the optimal highest occupied molecular orbital energy ($HOMO_{(opt.)}=-9.2137e.v.$) and weak electron donating (${\sigma}<0$) group. And Free-Wilson analyses revealed that the antifungal activity against RPC depends on the methoxy and bromo-substituent and all of the substituents contribute to antifungal activities against SPC.

Stereoselectivities of (4+2) cycloaddition reactions of cyclopentadiene with the methyl-substituted allenic acids and esters were investigated by application of $\pi$-nonbonded interaction ($\pi$-NBI) theory. 2-FMO method has been found to be adequate for determination of endo selectivities of diene(LUMO)-dienophile (LUMO) interaction in the thermal reactions and diene (HOMO)-dienophile (LUMO) interaction in the Lewis acid catalyzed reactions. $\pi$-isoconjugate diene structure was formed by through-bond interaction of allene moiety with methyl group in the cumulated diene system; the methyl substituent acts as a conjugative chain and causes inter-level narrowing effect of the FMO's. In dienophiles which do not form $\pi$-isoconjugate diene system, methyl group acts merely as an electron donating group. In thermal reactions, the stereoselectivities are controlled by $\pi$-nonbonded secondary orbital interaction ($\pi$-NSOI) of methyl substituent, which behaves similarly as an ethylene molecule.
