The objective of this study was to investigate antioxidant activities of Panax ginseng extracted with various solvents including n-hexane, chloroform, EtOAC, n-butanol and water. Among the various ginseng extracts, ethyl acetate (EtOAC) extracts showed the most powerful scavenging activities against DPPH radicals. Among the other solvent extracts, the butanol extract seemed relatively more effective in scavenging activity, followed by chloroform, water and hexane extracts. Moreover, the highest reducing power and ferrous ion chelating activity were found in the EtOAC extract followed by other extracts of ginseng. EtOAC extracts, which exhibited the best antioxidant activities of all solvent extracts of ginseng, possessed higher concentrations of total phenolics (777.61 mg/100 g) than other extracts. These results suggest that EtOAC extracts of ginseng (P. ginseng C.A. Meyer) have the most effective antioxidant capacity compared to n-hexane, chloroform, n-butanol and water tested in this study, and has important applications for the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Solvatokinetic and solvatochromic behavior of bis(indolinobenzospiropyranyl) sulfide derivatives 1a-1c have been studied in various solvents. The marked negative solvatochromism is exhibited for 1a and 1b in the whole region of solvent polarity examined. Whereas, it is found only in the polar solvent region ($E_T$ > 37) for 1c. The sensitivity order to the solvent media (slope values) is 1a > 1b > 1c. The branched linear plot with a zero slope was shown for the most sterically-hindered compound 1c in the less polar-solvent region (($E_T$ < 37). The biphasic plot is indicative of dual mechanistic process, i.e., a transition state with increased zwitter-ionic character in more polar solvents and electrocyclic process with an isopolar transition state in less polar solvents.

The fluorescence spectroscopic properties of both trans and cis forms of 9-anthryiethylene derivatives such as 9-AnthCH=$CHCO_2CH_3$ [Ⅰ] and 9-AnthCH=CHCN [Ⅱ] as well as 9-AnthCH=>TEX>$CHCH_2O_2CCH_3$ [Ⅲ] and 9-AnthCH=$CHCH_2OH$ [Ⅳ] have been measured in various solvents. In nonpolar solvent, the trans-I and trans-Ⅱ show dual emission spectral bands at 340 nm and 460 nm when exciting with 270 nm while the other trans derivatives show single emission band at 430 or 460 nm. The dual emissions exhibit different excitation spectra, indicating that two emissive states are different from each other. It is interesting to note that the 340 nm emission of both trans-Ⅰ and trans-Ⅱ is enhanced at the expense of the drastic quenching of the 460 nm emission as the solvent polarity increases. The dual emissions are also observed for both cis-Ⅰ and cis-Ⅱ. The solvent dependence of the fluorescence decay times and quantum yields can be correlated with the solvent and excitation wavelength dependences of the trans→cis photoisomerization quantum yields. These results indicate that the 340 nm emission is originated from the $S_2$ state of the cis-form, and the $S_1$ state is the only singlet excited state presenting a large CT (charge transfer) character to facilitate the photoisomerization.

유기용매인 2-propanol, 2-pentanol 또는 benzene에 triethylamine을 혼합시켜 phenanthrenequinone을 포화시킨 용액에 Excimer laser(XeCl)를 쪼인 광환원반응에서 생성된 음이온 라디칼의 초미세 분리상수 전자스핀 공명분광법과 시간분애 전자스핀 공명분광법을 이용하여 얻었다. 그 결과 초미세분리상수 A$_{H1}$과 A$_{H2}$는 2-propanol에서 1.662, 0.378, 2-pentanol에서 1.602, 0.361 G이었고, benzene에서는 A$_{H1}$은 1.518이었다. 이와같이 혼합용매의 극성이 감소함에 따라 초미세 분리상수는 감소하였고, 비극성인 벤젠 혼합용매하에서는 자기적 등가양성자에 의한 작은 초미세분리(A$_{H2}$)는 측정할 수 없었다. 특히 2-pentanol과 triethylamine과의 3:1 혼합용매하에서 trietylamine radical(TEA${\cdot}$)이 0.15~0.30${\mu}s$ 시간범위의 시간분해 전자스핀공명 스펙트럼에서 phenanthrenequinone 음이온 라디칼과 함께 측정되었다. 이와같은 용매효과의 시간분해 전자스핀공명 스펙트럼의 측정 결과로부터 불안정한 짧은 수명의 반응중간체인 스핀편극된 phenanthrenequinone 음이온 라디칼(*PQ${\cdot}^-$)의 존재를 알 수 있었고, 각 혼합용매에서 초미세분리상수를 얻었다

본 연구에서는 용매증발법을 이용하여 대표적 생리활성 물질인 Vitamin-C의 불안정성을 극복하기 위하여 HP-${\beta}$-CD와의 포접복합체를 제조하고 수용액상에서의 안정성을 분석하였다. Vitamin-C와 HP-${\beta}$-CD 간의 몰비를 변화시켜 제조한 포접복합체의 안정성 시험 결과 포접 몰비는 1:1로 추정되며, 포접복합체 제조에 사용된 용매의 유전상수가 커질수록 Vitamin-C의 안정성이 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 3차 증류수를 용매로 하여 제조된 포접복합체의 경우 순수한 Vitamin-C보다 Vitamin-C의 겉보기 1차 분해속도 상수 값이 감소하는 것을 확인하였는데 이는 결과적으로 Vitamin-C의 안정성이 향상되었음을 의미한다. 따라서 HP-${\beta}$-CD와의 포접복합체 형성은 Vitamin-C의 안정성을 향상시켜 생체이용률을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였으며 불안정한 여러 생리활성물질에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A range of methine dyes has been synthesized by condensation of highly electronegative active methylene compound dicyanomethylenecyclopentane derived from cyclopentanone with the formyl group of substituted benzaldehydes. The electronic absorption spectroscopic properties of the dyes were investigated. In general, substituents on the aromatic aldehyde moiety have a significant effect on the visible absorption maxima of the dyes; increasing the solvent polarity also showed a pronounced effect on the absorption maxima.

A carotenoid pigment, which was a determinant for food quality, was extracted from a marine halophilic bacteria. The stability of the pigment extract was investigated for a food additive. The optimum temperature for stability was 20oC. The pigment degradation was significantly affected by solvent polarity, however, stable in salvent methanol and ethanol. The pigment degradation was highly sensitive to light and UV exposure.

The kinetics of the solvolysis of benzyl and p-or m-substituted benzyl bromides in various alcohols have been determined by an electric conductivity method. From these reactions, a curved Hammett plot is obtained and a mechanism is proposed to account for the nonlinear behavior observed. In addition, effects of solvent polarity on the activation parameters for the solvolysis of benzyl bromides are discussed.

Mediumeffects have been explored on the competitive H-atom abstraction and SET-promoted, silyl-transfer reactions of excited states of silylalkyl-substituted phenyl ketones. The chemical selectivities of photochemical reactions of silylalkyl phenyl ketones appear to depend on medium polarity, medium silophilicity, added metal cation and alkyl length. Irradiations of silylalkylketones in aqueous solvent system and in presence of metal cation such as $Li^+$ and $Mg^{+2} $lead to formation of acetophenone predominantly by the sequential SET-silyl transfer route.

1,3-Dipropyloxycalix[4]arene dibenzocrown ethers were synthesized in the fixed 1,3-alternate conformation by the reaction of 1,3-dipropyloxycalix[4]arenes with a dibenzo dimesylates. Complexation toward alkali metal ions using ISEs showed a high cesium selectivity. Conformational flexibility of the corresponding 1,3-alternate calixcrown ether (4) with respect to the NMR time scale is found to depend on the temperature and polarity of the NMR solvent.
