An efficient and practical synthetic method of △1 -3-octalone, which is a versatile building block for thesyntheses of polycyclic compounds, has been developed. The dianion of ethyl acetoacetate reacts with cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde (3) to produce the aldol adduct 6, which then undergoes Mn(Ⅲ)-mediated radical cyclization followed by acetate elimination to give △1 -3-octalone 4. A detailed mechanistic insight of Mn(Ⅲ)-mediated cyclization of 6 has been disclosed.

A systematic study of Knoevenagel reaction and Nazarov cyclization was made on variety of less reactive carbonyl compounds such as ${\beta}$-ketoesters, 1,3-diketones and cyclic active methylene compounds using $Yb(OTf)_3$ as the catalyst. Recycling study confirms reusability of the catalyst without much loss of activity.

2-Ethoxycarbonyl-3-methylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide (8) was synthesized from benzofuroxan and ethyl acetoacetate. The reaction of compound 8 with hydrazine hydrate or selenium dioxide gave 2-hydrazinocarbonyl-3-methylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide (9) or 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-formylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide (10), respectively. The reaction of compound 9 with alkanoyl chlorides, benzoyl chlorides, heteroacyl chlorides, and benzenesulfonyl chlorides afforded 3-methyl-2-(substituted hydrazinocarbonyl)quinoxaline 1,4-dioxides (11-14), respectively. The reaction of compound 9 with sodium azide gave 2-azidocarbonyl-3-methylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide (15), and then its refluxing in dioxane/alcohols resulted in the Curtius rearrangement to give N-(3-methyl-1,4-dioxoquinoxalin-2-yl)-alkyl carbamates (16). The reaction of compound 15 with substituted anilines afforded 2-(3-substituted phenylureido)-3-methylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxides (17). The reaction of compound 10 with benzoic hydrazide or substituted anilines provided quinoxaline 1,4-di-oxides (18, 19), respectively. The herbicidal and fungicidal activities of the synthesized compounds were investigated.

Fungicidal activity has been examined for a series of substituted phenylhydrazono-3-methyl-1,2-isoxazol-5-one against plant pathogenic fungi. 3-methyl isoxazol-5-one was obtained from ethyl acetoacetate and hydroxyl amine. Final products were prepared by aromatic diazo coupling with 3-methyl isoxazol-5-one. Fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Cladosporium cucumerinum, Pythium ultimum were tested and Pythium ultimum were tested and Pythium ultimum was selected for quantitative measurement of activity. Methyl, halogen, nitro derivatives possessed high fungicidal activity at p-, o-, p- position, respectively. Methyl, halogen derivatives were much more active than alkoxy, nitro derivatives and the order of activity of halogen derivatives was F > Cl > I. This result implied that the activity was related to the molecular volume of substitutents.

The pyrazole family was discovered as effective insecticides/acaricides, and fenpyroximate and tebufenpyrad were introduced in the market. In this study, new series of pyrazole oxime ethers were designed and synthesized. The pyrazolone 1 was prepared by the condensation of ethyl acetoacetate with methylhydrazine, and then subsequently subjected to the Vilsmeier-Haack chloroformylation yielding 4-formyl-5-chloro-pyrazole 2. The nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 2 generally allowed the introduction of a wide range of heterocycles into the pyrazole ring. The resulting pyrazole aldehydes 3a-i were readily converted to the corresponding pyrazole oxime derivatives 4a-i, and subsequently to 5-substituted pyrazole oxime ether derivatives 6a-i. The screening assay results clearly show that the activities of 6d were comparable to those of fenpyroximate (6a) against BPH, DBM, and TSSM. It indicates that 6d has a potential to be developed as an insecticidal agent.

N-Aryl-N'(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)guanidines (IIa-c) were prepared by cyclization of N-arybiguanides (Ia-c) with ethyl acetoacetate. Coupling of compounds (IIa-c) with the appropriate diazotized arylamine gave N-aryl-N'-(5-arylhydrazono-6-methyl-4-oxopyrimidin-2-yl) guanidines (IIIa-f). Whereas, their chlorination with phosphorus oxychloride followed by treatment of N-aryl-N'-(4-Chloro-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)guanidimes (IVac) with the appropriate arylamine afforded the corresponding 4-arylamino derivatives (Vaf). Compounds (IIa-f) were also formed when compounds (1a-c) were treated with ethyl 2-arylhydrazono-3-oxobutyrates. The antimircobial testing of some of the prepared compounds against some pathogenic microorganisms revealed that only two have a marked effect against Escherichia coli.

The 6,7-dichloroquinolone-5,8-dione(I) was reacted with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide to yield 6-(${\alpha}$-acetyl-${\alpha$-ethoxycarbonyl-methyl)-7-chloro-quin oline-5,8-dione(II). When this compound II was reacted with some alkylamine (methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, isopropylamine, cyclopropylamine, methoxyethylamine, ethanolamine, benzylamine, furfurylamine), 1N-alkyl-2-methyl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-pyridino(2,3f)-indole-4,9-dione(IIIa-i) were obtained via intramolecular cyclization.

We have reported earlier on the reactivity of 7-dithiocarboxy-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydro imidazo[2,1-b]thiazolium-betaine with several para-substituted phenacyl bromides. In this work reactions of 7-dithiocarboxy-3-phenyl(or methyl)-5,6-dihydro imidazo[2,1-b]thiazolium-betaine with a series of aliphatic alkylating agents of ${\alpha}$ -halo ketone,${\gamma}$-halo koto ester and ${\alpha}$ -halo ester were examined for the similar purpose. In case of ${\alpha}$-halo ketone or ${\gamma}$-halo koto ester such as ${\alpha}$ -chloro acetone or ethyl 4-chloro acetoacetate new biheterocyclic compound was obtained via ring transformation reaction. However, reaction of the betaine with methyl(or ethyl) bromoacetate used as a ${\alpha}$-halo ester, gave, in-stead, S-alkylated quarternary ammonium salt.

A series of pyranopyrazoles, was efficiently synthesized via one-pot, four component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aldehydes and malononitrile in the presence of catalytic amount silicotungstic acid under solvent free condition. NOE experiments confirmed that the product exist exclusively in the 2H form. The present protocol offers the advantages of clean reaction, short reaction time, high yield, easy purification and economic availability of the catalyst.
