Thirteen 3-amino-5-pyrazolones substituted only in position 4 have been synthesized from the corresponding mono- or disubstituted cyanoacethydrazides or cyanoacetic esters in alkaline medium. Their ultraviolet light absorption spectra have been determined in neutral and acid solutions.

1,4-Diphenyl-3-carbethoxy-5-aminopyrazole yielded 1,4-diphenyl-5-aminopyrazole by hydrolysis and decarboxylation. The phenylhydrazone of ethyl phenyloxalacetate gave a pyrazolone which was transformed into 1,4-diphenyl-3-amino-5-pyrazolone. The 2,4-diphenyl-3-amino-5-pyrazolone was obtained from ethyl phenylcyanoacetate and phenylhydrazine by heating in acetic acid. 4-Alkyl-3-hydroxy- and 3-amino-5-pyrazolones and 4,4-dialkyl-3-oxo- and 3-imino-5-pyrazolones, substituted in position 2 by carbanilino or α- or β-naphthyl groups, were prepared from ethyl mono- or disubstituted malonates and cyanoacetates, 4-phenylsemicarbazide, and α- and β-naphthylhydrazines. Ultraviolet absorption spectra were determined in neutral and acid solutions.

Anisoles, compared with phenols, possess similar spectral properties, except that properties determined mainly by the hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group are modified. In this way, comparison of the ultraviolet absorption spectra of phenols and anisoles permits, for example, the study of the spectral effects of hydrogen bonding and the study of steric interactions involving the hydroxy and methoxy groups.

The spectra of a number of substituted benzoic acids, acetanilides, and phenyl benzoates are discussed in terms of the electronic and steric effects of substituents.

The electronic spectra of benzaldehydes in the region 220–360 mμ are recorded and discussed in terms of previously stated hypotheses. The formyl group is shown to endow benzene derivatives with spectral properties similar to those of the acetyl group in acetophenones, except that steric interactions are slightly modified.

The ultraviolet absorption spectra of bromobenzene in various solvents, and the spectra of a series of substituted bromobenzenes in cyclohexane solution, are reported. The B-band spectral data confirm the hypotheses postulated for the B-band spectra of chlorobenzenes in the previous part of this series of papers. That is, the bromine atom usually gives rise to greater steric effects than the chlorine atom and the apparent mesomeric interaction as judged from these spectra increases with the size of the halogen substituent.Both bromobenzene and chlorobenzene C-band intensities are unusually small, and this is assumed to account for the frequent C-band similarity between the spectrum of a mono-substituted benzene derivative PhX, where X = OH, OCH3, NH2, and the spectrum of the corresponding chloro- or bromo-substituted PhX derivative.

A method for the determination of mesomeric effects from ultraviolet light absorption data is critically discussed. For halogen-substituted compounds, the method gives an order of mesomeric effects different from that which is usually accepted for the halogens.

The ultraviolet absorption spectra of a series of fluorobenzenes are determined. It is found that as a first approximation a fluoro substituent does not appreciably affect the benzenoid absorption. The spectra are discussed on the assumption that the mesomeric effect of the fluorine atom is small.

The methods for estimating phenothiazine and phenothiazone in biological materials have been investigated. It has been shown that when phenothiazine, or phenothiazone is treated with bromine (under the conditions described), a red color is produced which has absorption maxima at the following wavelengths: 240, 282, 291, 375, and 510 mμ. Phenothiazone, in 95% ethanol, has a spectrum with absorption maxima at 237, 273, 280, 288, 369, and 508 mμ. Thus the bromine method is not applicable for distinguishing between these two compounds. It is shown also that phenothiazine may interfere with the estimation of phenothiazone when the latter is measured by the light absorption of its free radical. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of phenothiazine and diphenylamine o-sulphoxide have been determined. The spectrum of the former compound has a maximum at 254 mμ (with a small maximum at 318 mμ), and that of the latter has maxima at 227, 272, 302, and 335 mμ. Leucophenothiazone also has a maximum at 254 mμ.While excretion studies on sheep confirm that 40% of the orally administered phenothiazine is lost in the urine, it is shown that the absorption of the drug from the intestine is not dependent upon oxidation to phenothiazone in the rumen. Indeed, the drug appears to be unchanged in this organ. In a postmortem examination of the gastrointestinal tract no phenothiazone was found proximal to the bile duct. It is suggested that phenothiazine is absorbed from the rumen unoxidized. In support of this it is confirmed that some phenothiazine may be recovered unchanged from the urine of the sheep.

The ultraviolet absorption spectra of a series of chlorobenzenes are determined. The spectral data suggest that the apparent mesomeric effect of the chlorine atom is greater than that of the fluorine atom, that solvent–solute interactions are generally less important in chlorobenzenes than in fluorobenzenes, and that, as expected, the effective interference radius of the chlorine atom is large. Moreover, spectral changes in o-substituted chlorobenzenes are consistent with the assumption that maximum electronic interaction requires the chlorine atom to be in the same plane as the benzene ring. The conformations of o-chloroacetophenone and o-chlorophenol are briefly discussed.
