A kinetic study on nucleophilic displacement reactions of 2-pyridyl X-substituted benzoates 1a-e with potassium ethoxide (EtOK) in anhydrous ethanol is reported. Plots of pseudo-first-order rate constants ($k_{obsd}$) vs. $[EtOK]_o$ exhibit upward curvature. The $k_{obsd}$ value at a fixed $[EtOK]_o$ decreases steeply upon addition of 18-crown-6-ether (18C6) to the reaction mixture up to [18C6]/$[EtOK]_o$ = 1 and then remains nearly constant thereafter. In contrast, $k_{obsd}$ increases sharply upon addition of LiSCN or KSCN. Dissection of $k_{obsd}$ into $k_{EtO^-}$ and $k_{EtOM}$ has revealed that ion-paired EtOK is more reactive than dissociated $EtO^-$, indicating that $K^+$ ion acts as a Lewis acid catalyst. Hammett plots for the reactions of 1a-e with dissociated $EtO^-$ and ion-paired EtOK result in excellent linear correlation with $\rho$ values of 3.01 and 2.67, respectively. The $k_{EtOK}/k_{EtO^-}$ ratio increases as the substituent X in the benzoyl moiety becomes a stronger electron-donating group. $K^+$ ion has been concluded to catalyze the current reaction by stabilizing the transition state through formation of a 6-membered cyclic complex.

The interaction of p-halogenated phenol derivatives with the micellar system of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) was studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. Effects of substituents, additives, and temperatures on the solubilization of phenol derivatives have been measured. The results show that all the values of ${\Delta}G^o$ and ${\Delta}H^o$ were negative and the values of ${\Delta}S^o$ were positive for all phenol derivatives within the measured temperature range. The calculated thermodynamic parameters depended on the size, the electro-negativity, and the hydrophobic property of halogen substituents. The addition of n-butanol results in the decrement in tthe Ks values and the addition of NaCl caused the increment in the Ks values for all the phenol derivatives. From these changes we can postulate that the solubilization sites of the phenol derivatives in the micelle depend severely on properties of the halogen-substituent.

Carbon tetrachloride is very reactive chain transfer agent due to the resonance stability of the trichlorocarbon radicals after breaking of C-Cl bond. Effect of benzylic radical comparing to trichlorocarbon radicals in the chain tranrfer reactions was investigated. From the structural point of view, cumyl chloride is a good candidate because it has the C-Cl bond with benzylic radicals after displacement of C-Ci bond. The reactivity of free radical polymerization of styrene in the presence of cumyl chloride was compared with that of carbon tetrachloride by calculating chain transfer constants. Results show that the cumyl chloride acts as a stronger chain transfer agent than carbon tetrachloride. The calculated chain transfer constant of cumyl chloride shows higher value (0.0463) than that of carbon tetrachloride (0.0011) in the styrene polymerization. High reactivity of cumyl chloride comparing to that of carbon tetrachloride is probably due to the higher resonance stability or benzylic radical than that or trichlorocarbon radicals after breaking of C-Cl bond. Monte Carlo simulation method is applied for characterizing the validity of kinetic constants according to the ratio of chain transfer agent to monomer.

The formation of inclusion complexes between ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin and diethylenetriamine substituted-pyridine copper(II) perchlorate; [Cu(dien)(sub-py)] $(ClO_4)_2$, were studied by spectrophotometric methods. On account of charge-transfer band(MLCT) and $^2T_2{\rightarrow}^2E$, the two high peaks were observed as an inclusion complex for the [${\beta}$-CD]$[Cu(dien)(p-Cl-py)]^{2+}$ in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. The ${\beta}$-CD and $[Cu(dien)(sub-py)]^{2+}$ ion formed a 1:1 complex, and the formation constants were decreased with the increasing temperatures, due to weak binding energy between ${\beta}$-CD and $[Cu(dien)(sub-py)]^{2+}$ ion. This reaction was controlled by enthalpy. In a correlation of the Hammett substituent constants and formation constants for the reaction, formation constants were increased by strong binding energy in the inclusion complexes when electron donating groups were substituted in pyridine ring.

Twenty six derivatives of bis-aromatic ${\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated ketones as substrate(S) were synthesized and their fungicidal activities in vivo against rice blast(Pyricularia oryzae), tomato leaf blight(Phytophtora infestans) and barley powdery mildew(Erysiphe graminis) were examined. The quantitative structure-activity relationship(QSAR) between the fungicidal activities($pI_{50}$) and a physicochemical parameters of substitued($R_{2}$) phenyl backbone group in 2-thienyl and 2-furyl substituents were analyzed with regression equations. The activities of substituted($R_{2}$) phenyl backbone in 2-thienyl substituents, $1{\sim}10$ would depend largely on the resonance(R>0), molecular refractivity($M_{R}<0$) and optimal length of substituent(($L_{1})opt.=5.50{\AA}$). Whereas, in case of 2-furyl substituents, $10{\sim}26$ optimal molar attraction constant ($F_{opt}=0.49{\sim}l.11$), optimal steric($Es_{opt}=1.78$) constant and indicator variables(Io & Ip) for position of substituents. The fungicidal activity relationship of 2-thienyl substituents against Pyricularia oryzae and Phytophtora infestans have been a reciprocal proportioned.

The reactions of p-nitrophenyldiphenylphosphate (p-NPDPP) with anions of benzimidazole (BI) and its 2-alkyl derivatives (R-BI) are strongly catalyzed by the micelles of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTABr). On the other hand, the first order rate constants $(k'_{R-BI^-})$ and the second order rate constants $(k_{m(R-BI^-)})$ of the reactions mediated by R-$BI^-$in the micellar pseudophase are much smaller than those mediated by $BI^-$. In order to explain the slower rates of the micellar reactions mediated by R-$BI^-$, we compared the concentration-ratios ([R-$BI^-$]/[$BI^-$]) with the first order rate constant-ratios $(k'_{R-BI^-}/k'_{BI^-})$ and the second order constant-ratios $(k_{m(R-BI^-)}/k_{m(BI^-)})$ for the reactions taking place in the micellar pseudophase. The rate constant-ratios were much smaller than the concentration-ratios. For example in a 5 ${\times}10^{-4}$M butyl-BI solution, the two ratios were 0.089 and 0.430 (for the first order) respectively, and in a $10^{-4}$M butyl-BI solution the former was 0.100 (for the second order). This predicts that the reactivities of R-$BI^-$ in the micellar pseudophase are much smaller than that of $BI^-$. Based on the values of several kinetic parameters measured for dephosphorylation of p-NPDPP mediated by R-$BI^-$, a schemetic model is proposed. Due to the hydrophobicity and the steric effect of the alkyl substituents, these groups would penetrate into the core of the micelle for stabilization by van der Waals interaction with long cetyl groups of CTABr. Consequently, the movements of R-$BI^-$ bound to the micelle should be restricted, leading to decreased collison frequencies between the nucleophiles and p-NPDPP. We refer this as an "anchor effect". This effect became more predominent when a larger alky group in R-BI was employed and when a greater concentration of R-BI was used.

A series of hetero ring (X) substitued chalcone derivatives with farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) inhibition activities $(pI_{50})$ values determined in vitro is analyzed by modified Free-Wilson (F-W) and Hansch method for quantitative structure activity relationship (QSARs). On the basis of F-W analysis on the FPTase inhibitory activity of a training set of the compounds, none of the (X)-substituents were not contribute the activity. But the net charge of ${\alpha}$ carbon atom is contribute the activity than that of ${\beta}$ carbon atom. And the relative orders of the (Y)-substituents on the activity are ortho>meta>para-substituents. According to Hansch approach, the activities would depend largely on the optimal, $(R_{opt.}=-0.35)$ resonance effect with ortho substituted $(I_o>0)$ electron donating group (R<0) and STERIMOL parameter, $B_1$ constant. The inhibition activity between hetro ring substituents have been a proportioned with each others and none substituent(H), 45 showed the highest FPTase inhibition $(pI_{50}=4.30)$ activity.

A series of the herbicidal N-(4,6-disubstituted pyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl-2-(1,1-ethylenedioxy-2-fluoro)ethyIbenzenesulfonamides, 1 and N-(4,6-disubstituted triazin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl-2-(1,1-ethylenodioxy-2-flu ore)ethylbenzenosuIfonamides, 2 were synthesized and their herbicidal activities in-vivo against rice(Oryza sativa L.), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), bulrush(Scripus juncoides) and pickerel weed(Monochoria vaginalis presl.) were measured by the pot test under the paddy conditions. The structure activity relationships(SAR) between the herbicidal activity$(pI_{50})$ and a various physicochemical parameters of the hetero group and 4,6-disubstituents on the heterocyclic group were analyzed by the multiple regression technique. The SAR suggest that the 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine substituent, 1a showed selective$({\Delta}obs.pI_{50}=1.12)$ and the most highest activity against barnyard grass, which depend on the hydrophobicity(log P<0) of heterocyclo group and molecular refractivity$((M_R)_{opt.}=14.58cm^3/mol)$ constant of 4,6-disubstituents on the heterocyclic group.

The correlations between chromatographic parameters of monosubstituted benzenes and several physical parameters in reversed phase liquid chromatography were studied. The relationships between retention data and polarity index were investigated by plotting $log(log k'_S/k'_B)$ vs. $P'_S/P'_B$ which were relative retention and relative polarity index of monosubstituted benzenes with respect to benzene, respectively. The linear relationship between relative retention and polarity index was observed for the monosubstituted benzenes having polar group, while in case of those having nonpolar group, the good linearity was observed by combination with relative molecular weight i.e. $(P'_S/P'_B)/(MW_S/MW_B)$. Multivariant regression analysis, $a(P'_S/P'_B)+b(MW_S/MW_B)$+c did not give significantly better correlations compared to single variant analysis, $a[(P'_S/P'_B)/(MW_S/MW_B)]$+c, but multiple stepwise regression analysis was recommended when several physical parameters simultaneously were chosen. The best correlation between retention data for monosubstituted benzenes taken from the literature and substituent constant(${\pi}$), derived from hydrophobic parameter and the first order molecular connectivity index$(^1{\chi}^{\nu})$, was established for methanol/water mobile phase system. The larger the surface coverage of the stationary phase, the higher was the correlation coefficient between these two parameters and retention data.

The new six herbicidal N-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-substituted-6-(1-hydroxy-2-fluoroethyl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives(S) were synthesized and rate constants for the hydrolysis of thier in the range of pH $1.0{\sim}10.0$ have been studied in 15%(v/v) aqueous acetonitrile solution at $45^{\circ}C$. From the basis of the results, pH-effect, solvent effect, ortho-substituent effect, thermodynamic parameters(${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ & ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$), pKa constant(4.80), rate equation, analysis of hydrolysis products(2-(1-hydroxy-2-fluoroethyl)benzenesulfonamide & 4,6-dimethoxyaminopyrimidine), it may be concluded that the general acid catalyzed hydrolysis through $A-S_E2$ mechanism and specific acid catalyzed hydrolysis through A-2 type(or $A_{AC}2$) mechanism proceeds via conjugate acid($SH^+$) and tetrahedral intermediate(I) below pH 8.0, whereas, above pH 9.0, the general base catalyzed hydrolysis by water molecules(B) through $(E_1)_{anion}$ mechanism proceeds via conjugate base(CB). In the range between $pH\;7.0{\sim}pH\;9.0$, these two reactions occur competitively.
