The question of quadruple bonding in C<sub>2</sub> has emerged as a hot button issue, with opinions sharply divided between the practitioners of Valence Bond (VB) and Molecular Orbital (MO) theory. Here, we have systematically studied the Potential Energy Curves (PECs) of low lying high spin sigma states of C<sub>2</sub>, N<sub>2</sub> and Be<sub>2</sub> and HC≡CH using several MO based techniques such as CASSCF, RASSCF and MRCI. The analyses of the PECs for the<sup> 2S+1</sup>Σ<sub>g/u</sub> (with 2S+1=1,3,5,7,9) states of C<sub>2</sub> and comparisons with those of relevant dimers and the respective wavefunctions were conducted. We contend that unlike in the case of N<sub>2</sub> and HC≡CH, the presence of a deep minimum in the <sup>7</sup>Σ state of C<sub>2</sub> and CN<sup>+</sup> suggest a latent quadruple bonding nature in these two dimers. Hence, we have struck a reconciliatory note between the MO and VB approaches. The evidence provided by us can be experimentally verified, thus providing the window so that the narrative can move beyond theoretical conjectures.

Reaction of 3β-acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) and 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-19α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with diazomethane afforded derivatives XII-XIV with spiroepoxide group in position 21 or 22, which were further converted into hydroxy derivatives XV and XVII. Ethylene ketals VIII-X were also prepared. In connection with the determination of position and configuration of the functional groups at C(21) and C(22), the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of the prepared compounds are discussed. Complete analysis of two four-spin systems in the 1H NMR spectrum of bisethylenedioxy derivative Xb led to the proton-proton coupling constants from which the structure with two 1,4-dioxane rings condensed with ring E, and their conformation, was derived.

The conformational behaviour of a series of N-substituted thiohydantoins of proline was studied by proton NMR. The pseudorotational parameters of the proline moiety were calculated from the ten vicinal proton-proton coupling constants assuming a two state equilibrium (N ⇋ S). The effect of the different substituents (methyl, phenyl, para-nitrophenyl) at the thiohydantoin nitrogen on the conformation of the pyrrolidine rings is discussed. The spectra of proline-N-methylthiohydantoin were recorded at different temperatures in octadeuterotoluene solution. The conformational analysis of these spectra showed that the ratio of the populations of the N and S forms changes considerably with temperature, while the conformational identity of both the N and S forms remains strictly preserved. These facts provide an additional experimental justification of the two-state assumption, at least so for the present model compounds.
