When attempts were made to add substances of the type HA to α-methoxybenzalacetophenone in the presence of an alkaline catalyst, it was found that the components were largely recovered unchanged, except in the case of cyanoacetamide; the addition product from the latter is a hydropyridine. The hydropyridine gives two distinct series of reaction products; in the first, the substances are all pyridine derivatives and always contain a methoxyl group. In the second, partial degradation has taken place, giving rise to cyclic derivatives of a δ-ketonic acid.

In the presence of a small amount of sodium methylate, cyclohexanone and benzil form an addition product, which is a "semicyclic" 1:4-diketone. No derivatives of a bicyclic cyclo-heptane were found. Its most conspicuous chemical property is its sensitivity to mineral acids; among the reaction products is found a diphenyltetrahydrocumarone. Although the addition product exhibits the phenomenon of halochromism, the existence of a perchlorate is doubtful, and it did not form a free radical.

Synthesis of specific di- and tri-hydroxyazaanthraquinones by Friedel-Crafts procedures is limited by orientational ambiguity and by the lack of reactivity of pyridine derivatives in electrophilic acylation processes; however, suitable pyridines have been made to undergo radical benzoylation and benzylation at unsubstituted positions 2, 4 and 6. In particular, derivatives of pyridine-3-carbo-nitrile have been benzoylated at positions 2 and 4. Ring closure by intramolecular Houben-Hoesch reaction has then led to specifically substituted 1-and 2-azaanthraquinones and thence to the antibiotic bostrycoidin (1).

Many derivatives of 2,3-dim ethoxy-4-hydroxypyridine, which were designed from examination of the structure-activity relationship of piericidins, were tested for inhibition of NADH-UQ reductase. The lipophilic side chain of those compounds was indicated to be a key part for activity and its optimal length was conjectured. By the use of two different phases of assay material, intact mitochondria and submitochondria, the size of a membrane effect was shown to depend on the structure of the side chain. 4-Hydroxyquinoline derivatives were also tested for an analogous role in relation to the electron transport function of menaquinone, and they were proven to be inhibitors of NADH-UQ reductase as good as the pyridine derivatives.

The reactions of the benzyl ether (1b) of kojic acid (la) and its chloromethyl derivative (1c) were investigated as new routes to fused heterocyclic systems. The chloromethyl compound proved the more versatile intermediate yielding benzothiazoles with thiourea and pyrido[l,2-a]benzimidazoles (11) and pyrido[1,2-alindole (12b) with pyridine derivatives. A number of methylated products of the benzothiazole were prepared in order to establish the structures of the reaction products and a possible mechanism of the reaction is discussed.

The purpose of this work was to synthesize and characterize oligoglycerols with the chains of more than four repeating units. Those oligoglycerols may have some interesting applications, among others, as polyoxyalkylation starters. The glycerol oligomerization process was carried out during 12 h, at 230 °C, under the pressure of 0.4 bar, with the use of sodium carbonate as a homogeneous basic catalyst; various concentrations of the catalyst in the reaction medium were used. The reaction products were analyzed with the use of direct infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Based on the analytical findings, the compositions of the obtained product mixtures and the structures of oligoglycerols present in individual fractions were determined. The effect of catalyst concentration on the composition of the post-reaction mixture was observed. Moreover, in addition to the conventional linear oligomers (α,α-oligoglycerols), two new types of the oligomers were for the first time detected in the post-reaction mixture: one with two hydroxyl groups and the other with a carboxylate group at the α-carbon atom.

Decacarbonyldirhenium (1) reacts upon UV irradiation with allene (2), 1,2-butadiene (3) and 2,3-pentadiene (4) preferentially by CO substitution and oxidative rearrangement to the corresponding enneacarbonyl-μ-η1:3-endiyl-dirhenium complexes 5, 9, and 15 and to the octacarbonyl-μ-η2:2-allene-dirhenium complexes 6, the stereoisomers 10, 11, and 16. At elevated temperature 5, 9, and 15 loose CO and yield by a reductive rearrangement also the complexes 6, 10, 11, and 16. In addition to these main products, depending upon the allene derivative used, various by-products are obtained.By-products of the reaction o f 1 with 2 are octacarbonyl-μ-η3:3-(2,3-dimethylene-buta-1,4- diyl)dirhenium (7) and μ-η2:2-allene-hexacarbonyl-μ-η1:3-1-propene-1,3-diyl-dirheniurn (8). The photo reaction of 1 with 3 yields, in addition to 9-11, tetracarbonyl-η3-(E-5-ethylidene- 4-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-yl)rhenium (12) and tetracarbonyl-η3-(Z-5-ethyliden-4- methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-yl)rhenium (13) as a mixture of isomers. 1 and 4 form the by-products tetracarbonyl-η3-(EZ-3-penten-2-yl)rhenium (17), tetracarbonyl-η3-(EE-3-penten-2-yl)rhenium (18) and heptacarbonyl-μ-η1:2:1:2-(4,5-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene-3,6-diyl)dirhenium (19) with an unusually bridging and chelating ligand. The constitutions of the reaction products have been concluded from the IR and 1H NMR spectra. For 19 the crystal and molecular structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

A systematic investigation of the synthesis of 4-hydroxy-DL-proline and 2-amino-4-dihydroxyvaleric acid has been made, starting from the following derivatives of 2-amino-4-pentenoic acid: ethyl allylacetamidomalonate, ethyl allylacetamidocyanoacetate, 2-phthalimidopentenoic acid, allylacetamido-malonic acid, acetylallylglycine, 5-allylhydantoin, and 3-phenyl-5-allylhydantoin. Chlorine or bromine was added to the double bond of these compounds, and the reaction products were either derivatives of 5-halogenated-4-valerolactones or derivatives of 4,5-dihalogenated pentanoic acids, depending on whether the carboxyl group of the pentanoic acid was free or not when the halogenation reaction was carried out. Acid hydrolysis followed by treatment with barium hydroxide always gave mixtures, in different ratio, of 4-hydroxy-DL-proline and 2-amino-4,5-dihydroxyvaleric acid which were analyzed and isolated as the copper salts. In the case of 5-(2,3-dibromopropyl)hydantoin and 3-phenyl-5-(2,3-dibromopropyl)hydantoin, no cyclization could be obtained.
