A reaction of dibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11(6H)-one with cyclopropylmagnesium bromide afforded the carbinol VII giving by treatment with hydrogen bromide the bromo derivative IV. Application of the Gabriel synthesis led to the primary amine III postulated earlier to be a metabolite of the antidepressant agent prothiadene (I). Demethylation of 2-methoxy-11-(3-dimethylaminopropylidene)-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin (X) with boron tribromide or hydrobromic acid gave mixtures of geometric isomers of the phenol IX from which either the trans- or cis-form could be isolated; trans-IX is another potential metabolite of prothiadene (I). Attempts at preparing prothiadene N-oxide yielded as the main product the nitrogen-free diene XI which was apparently formed by a Cope elimination. The analogous sulfone XII was obtained as a by-product of the preparation of prothiadene S,S-dioxide (XV). Treatment of dibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11(6H)-one with methoxymethylmagnesium chloride opened the access to the aldehyde XVI which was further used for the preparation of the nitrile XVIII, alcohol XIX, carboxylic acid XX and acrylic acid XXI.

Cleavage of 3,3,4-trifluoro-2,2-dimethyloxetane (I) in an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrogen chloride, or hydrogen bromide gave a mixture of 2,2-difluoro-3-methyl-3-butenal (II) and 5,5-difluoro-2-(1,1-difluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-4-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane (VIa); in the cleavage effected by hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid the mixture also contained 3-chloro- or 3-bromo-2,2-difluoro-3-methyl-1,1-butanediol (Vb or Vc). In alcoholic solutions of the mineral acids the cleavage afforded the corresponding acetals of butenal II and 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutanal (IIIa). The action of sulphuric acid in the presence of acetyl chloride or acetanhydride led to 1-chloro-2,2-difluoro-3-methyl-3-butenyl acetate (IVd) or 2,2-difluoro-3-methyl-3-butenylidene diacetate (IVe), as the main product. Butenal II was a sole product of the cleavage of oxetane I by polyphosphoric acid at 150-160 °C in the gaseous phase. At temperatures above 180 °C there were also formed (in addition to butenal II) 1,1,5,5-tetrafluoro-2,6-dimethyl-1,6-heptadiene-4-ol (IX) and its formate (X).

Sodium hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-nido-hexaborate(1-) (6), available from hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba- nido-hexaborane(8) (4) by deprotonation, reacts with deuterated methanol, CD3OD, to give back 4 without H/D exchange of the B-H-B hydrogen atom. The reaction of 6 with diethylboron chloride, Et2BCl, affords hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-closo-hexaborane(6) (7), the first example of a peralkylated carborane of this type. In contrast, the reaction of 6 with boron tribromide, BBr3, leads mainly to 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-closo-heptaborane(7) (8), together with the corresponding 1-bromo derivative (9) and the closo-carborane 7 as side products. The reaction of two equivalents of 6 with FeCl2 gives the air-stable sandwich complex bis[hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-nido-hexaborate(1-)]iron 10 which was characterised by X-ray structural analysis. All products were characterised by 1H, 11B and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to study 10.

5-Aminolevulinic acid is incubated with a crude enzyme extract from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides, mutant R 26. The formed porphyrins (main product: uroporphyrin III) are isolated. Incorporation of iron, ring-splitting by coupled oxydation and subsequent iron removal leads to a mixture of pigments, from which urobiliverdin, a new bile pigment with eight carboxylic acid side chains, is isolated. It is characterized by its chromatographic behaviour, chromic acid degra­dation and UV-vis spectroscopy.

The orientation of cyclization of the reaction of methyl aroylacrylate (1) and aroylacrylic acid (8) with ethyl acetoacetate and/or thiourea leading to the formation of 4-aroylmethylcyclopentane-1,3-dione (2) 5-aryl-3-oxocyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (9), 2-imino-5-aroylmethylthiazolidin-4-one (11) and 6-aryl-2-sulfonylpyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (14) depends on the medium employed; some compounds show moderate antiviral activities against tobacco necrosis virus.

Treatment of 2-norobornene-1-carboxylic acid (7) with one equivalent of methyllithium in ether followed by a second molar equivalent after dilution with tetrahydrofuran gave 1-(norborn-2-en-lyl)ethanone (10) and only a trace of the tertiary alcohol 11. Reaction of 7 with formic acid followed by hydrolysis gave a 4:3 mixture of exo-3- and exo-2-hydroxynorbornane-1-carboxylic acid (16 and 17), whereas oxymercuration–demercuration gave only the exo-3-hydroxy isomer 16. Oxidation of 16 and 17 gave 3- and 2-oxonorbornane-1-carboxylic acid (27 and 29), respectively. Oxymercuration–demercuration of 10 gave exclusively 1-(exo-3-hydroxynorborn-1-yl)ethanone (30), which was also prepared by treatment of 16 with methyllithium in analogous fashion to that used for the conversion of 7 to 10. Oxidation of 30 gave 1-(3-oxonorborn-1-yl)ethanone (1). Dehydrobromination of exo-2-bromonorbornane-1-acetic acid and dehydration of 2-hydroxy-norbornane-2-acetic acid derivatives gave 1-(norborn-2-ylidene) acetic acid derivatives to the exclusion of norborn-2-ene-1 -acetic acid derivatives. Treatment of exo-5-acetyloxy-2-norobornanone (52) with ethyl bromoacetate and zinc gave ethyl exo-5-acetyloxy-2-hydroxynorbornane-(exo- and endo-2-acetate (53 and 54). Reaction of 53 with hydrogen bromide gave initially ethyl endo-3-acetyloxy-exo-6-bromonorbornane-1-acetate (59), which was subsequently converted to a mixture of 59 and its exo-3-acetyloxy epimer 61. Catalytic hydrogenation of this mixture gave a mixture of ethyl endo- and exo-3-acetyloxynorbornane-1 -acetate (62 and 63). Basic hydrolysis of this gave a mixture of the corresponding hydroxy acids, 70 and 71; the former was slowly converted to the latter at pH 5. Oxidation of the mixture of 70 and 71 gave 3-oxonorbornane-1-acetic acid (72). Treatment of the mixture with methyllithium as for 16 gave a mixture of 1-(endo- and exo-3-hydroxynorborn-1-yl)-2-propanone (73 and 74), which was oxidized to 1-(3-oxo-norborn-1-yl)-2-propanone (2). Reaction of exo-2-hydroxynorbornane-1-acetic acid lactone (75) with methyllithium in ether gave (1-(exo-2-hydroxynorborn-1-yl)-2-propanone (76), which on oxidation gave the 2-oxo isomer 78 of 2.

The reaction of several substituted o- nitronitrosobenzenes with O- and p- anisidine , and 2,4- dimethoxyaniline in acetic acid gives in good yield the corresponding enitroazobenzenes which are readily reduced with thiourea dioxide ( formamidinesulfinic acid) to the corresponding 2-(methoxypheny1)-2H-benzotriazoles, demethylation of which furnished the corresponding 2- (hydroxypheny1)-2H-benzotriazoles. Demethylation of the dimethoxy derivatives was best accomplished with boron tribromide in methylene chloride, the methoxy group located ortho to the benzotriazole ring being demethylated more readily than is the para-methoxy group. The reaction of enitroazobenzenes containing a methoxy group with hydrobromic acid in acetic acid results in cleavage of the azo bond and also partial bromination to give o- nitroaniline and some of its brominated derivatives.

α-Cyano-β-arylacrylic acids have been prepared by condensing the following aldehydes with sodium cyanoacetate: 1-naphthaldehyde, 2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 3,4-diethoxybenzaldehyde, 6-chloropiperonal, 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde, 2-acetoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde. The last-named gave α-cyano-β (2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) acrylic acid, which was readily converted to 8-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid.
