The thermal and photochemical conversion of (1R*,2R*,3S*), (1S*,2R*,3S*), and (1S*,2R*,3R*)-1-acetyl-1,2-dimethyl-3-phenylcyclopropane (1, 2, and 3) to cis- and trans-2,3,4-trimethyl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydrofurans has been studied. Concurrent with this reaction is an equilibration of 1, 2, and 3, a thermal ring opening of 1 by a 1,5-hydrogen shift, and a cyclopropane-to-propene type reaction under the photochemical conditions. The dihydrofuran from 1 and 2 by the thermal and photochemical conditions is 97% trans- and 3% cis- corresponding to predominant retention at the migrating carbon. The dihydrofuran formed from 3 by the thermal and photochemical reaction is 85% cis- and 15% trans- again corresponding to predominant retention. A kinetic study of the rearrangement of 1-acetyl-1-methyl-2-phenylcyclopropane to 1,2-dimethyl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydrofuran provides Ea of 48.1 kcal/mol and log A of 14.9 for this first order reaction in the temperature range of 255–288 °C.It is concluded that the thermal and photochemical reactions occur by a non-concerted process through a common 1,3-diradical intermediate in which bond rotation and ring closure steps are competitive.

Fumaratotriazoline (1) and amidotriazoline (3) undergo thermal first-order transformations in solution at 65 °C. The former affords the isomeric pyrrole 5 and its hydrolysis product 6. A mechanism involving opening of the initial five-membered ring to form 8, followed by closure to a new five-membered ring (9), is proposed. Amidotriazoline (3) loses N2 on heating to form 19. The experimental results are best accommodated in terms of a novel mechanism involving an electrocyclic ring closure, a [3 + 2] cycloreversion to form an ylide, a sigmatropic rearrangement of the ylide, and, finally, an electrocyclic ring-opening reaction.

The recombination of oxygen atoms has been studied in a discharge flow system at room temperature. The yield of O2(a1Δg) in the recombination on Pyrex has been found to be 0.08 (±0.02). In the gas phase, O2(a) was found to be formed in a process that is second order in [O] and first order in [N2]. The rate constant for this third-order reaction was found to be 3.4 (±0.4) × 10−34 cm6∙molecule−2∙s−1, representing a yield of 0.07 (±0.02). In the presence of molecular oxygen, the rate of production of O2(a) was found to increase. A kinetic study of this effect led to the conclusion that collisions of molecular oxygen with an unidentified precursor can produce O2(a) with high efficiency.

A library of steviol-based trifunctional chiral ligands was developed from commercially available natural stevisoide and applied as chiral catalysts in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The key intermediate steviol methyl ester was prepared according to literature procedure. Depending on the epoxidation process, both cis- and trans-epoxyalcohols were obtained. Subsequent oxirane ring opening with primary and secondary amines afforded 3-amino-1,2-diols. The ring opening with sodium azide followed by a “click” reaction with alkynes resulted in dihydroxytriazoles. The regioselective ring closure of N-substituted aminodiols with formaldehyde was also investigated. The resulting steviol-type aminodiols were tested against a panel of human adherent cancer cell lines (A2780, SiHa, HeLa, and MDA-MB-231). It was consistently found that the N-benzyl substituent is an essential part within the molecule and the ring closure towards N-benzyl substituted oxazolidine ring system increased the antiproliferative activity to a level comparable with that of cisplatine. In addition, structure–activity relationships were examined by assessing substituent effects on the aminodiol systems.

Permanganatic oxidation of Neomycine sulphate salt has been studied at different temperatures using spectrophotometer under alkaline conditions. The effect of variation of substrate Neomycine sulphate salt (NS), oxidant (KMnO4) and NaOH was studied under pseudo first order reaction conditions. The effect of different salts and solvents on oxidation of NS was also studied. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to oxidant, substrate and NaOH.. Keywords: Neomycine sulphate salt (NS), KMnO4 , permanganatic  oxidation, alkaline permanganate

Abstract Due to the disgusting smell of light mercaptans, researchers are not interested in working with them, so there is not enough information available on their kinetics. This work presents kinetic investigation of oxidation of ethyl, normal-propyl, iso-propyl, and iso-butyl mercaptans in the presence of Merox catalyst. The results demonstrated that the oxidation rates of all mercaptans were first-order reaction with respect to mercaptan concentration, and the increase in NaOH concentration reduced the oxidation rate. While it was observed that there was a similarity between oxidation pattern of iso-propyl and ethyl mercaptans, another similarity was discovered between normal-propyl and iso-butyl mercaptans.

A new photochromic diarylethene of 1-(3,5-dimethyl-4-isoxazole)-2- (2-methyl-(5-ethynyl)-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene (1o) was synthesized. Its photochromic and fluorescence properties were investigated systematically. Upon irradiation with UV light with the extended response time, the diarylethene underwent a ring opening reaction to produce closed forms and color change in solution. The results showed the compound exhibited good photochromism in hexane solution. The kinetic experiments showed that the cyclization and cycloreversion processes were zeroth and first order reaction, respectively. Moreover, diarylethene1oalso exhibited obviously fluorescence switches along with the photochromism.

A photochromic diarylethene of [1-(3,5-dimethyl-4-iodoisoxazole)-2-(2-methyl-(5-ethynyl) trimethylsilane-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene (1o) was synthesized and characterized. Its properties, including photochromic behavior and fluorescent properties have been investigated. Upon irradiation with UV light with the extended response time, the diarylethene underwent a ring opening reaction to produce closed forms and color change in solution. The results showed the compound exhibited good photochromism in acetonitrile solution. The kinetic experiments showed that the cyclization and cycloreversion processes were zeroth and first order reaction, respectively. Moreover, diarylethene1oalso exhibited obviously fluorescence switches along with the photochromism.
