Cyclobutanones derived from α-phenyl, α,α-diphenyl, and bisphenyleneketene cycloaddition to dihydrofuran and dihydropyran were rearranged under acidic conditions to polycyclic aromatic dihydrofurans and dihydropyrans respectively. A mechanism for these rearrangements is proposed.

Tricyclic spiroketal 1 undergoes an acid-catalyzed oxidation–reduction reaction which yields equatorial bicyclic ether aldehyde 5 specifically. Similarly, spiroketals 2, 3, and 4 give equatorial bicyclic ether ketone 12. These results are interpreted by invoking an internal hydride transfer from an alcohol function to a cyclic oxenium ion which takes place with stereoelectronic control. The reduction of tricyclic ketals 1 and 22 with sodium cyanoborohydride under acidic conditions is also reported.

The bromination of 2,3-dimethylindole in acetic acid followed by hydrolysis has been shown to yield the known dimer 16 of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dimethylindolenine 15 and not 3-hydroxymethyl-2-methylindole 12 as reported previously by others. Bromination of 2,3-dimethylindole in the presence of triethylamine has yielded 3-bromo-2,3-dimethylindolenine 17 as a crystalline solid which is stable at room temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere in the presence of triethylamine but decomposes vigorously in the absence of base. Under mildly acidic conditions 17 reacts rapidly with methanol to yield 3-methoxy-2,3-dimethylindolenine 3 in good yield. With tert-butyl hypochlorite in the presence of triethylamine, 2,3-dimethylindole gives 3-chloro-2,3-dimethylindolenine 2 which has chemical properties similar to 17 reacting readily with methanol to give 3. Similarly tetrahydrocarbazole was converted to the analogous chloroindolenine 5 and bromoindolenine 18 both of which readily underwent methanolysis to give 6 in good yield. A mechanism for the acid catalyzed methanolysis of 3-chloro- and 3-bromoindolenines is proposed.

The (Z)-2-arylidene-quinuclidines 5 - 8 were synthesized. Their reaction with aliphatic dibasic functional reagents in both basic and acidic conditions afforded the fused heterocycles 9, 10 and 11. However, the reaction of arylidene derivative 5 with an aromatic dibasic functional reagent gave benzimidazole 13 in lieu of the anticipated tetracyclic system, quinuclidino[3,2-e]benzo[b]-1,4-diazepine 12. Cycloadditions of 5 with different reagents gave the heterocyclic derivatives 17, 19, 22 and 23. Acid-catalyzed cyclization of 5 with excess resorcinol gave 24. Compounds 9a, 19 and 24 showed antibacterial activities.

The present work demonstrates the ability of carboxylic acid-tethered cyclopropanated oxabenzonorbornadienes (CPOBDs) to undergo ring-opening reactions in mild acidic conditions. The optimized reaction conditions involve the use of pTsOH in DCE at 90 °C. Two regioisomers are formed but the reactions are highly regioselective towards type 3 ring-opened products. It was observed that substitution at the C-5 and aryl positions of CPOBD significantly hinders the ring opening reactions leading to decreased yields of ring-opened product, although high regioselectivity for the Type 3 ring-opened product is still maintained. Herein, we report the first examples of acid-catalyzed intramolecular ring-opening reactions of CPOBD with carboxylic acid nucleophiles.

Sol-gel solutions prepared from tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) hydrolyzed in acidic conditions were used to make thin films on Si wafers via spin coating. Solutions with H2O/TEOS ratios of 2, 5, and 10 were prepared and aged at room temperature in sealed containers for times ranging from <2.5 h to 1 month. Transmission Fourier transform infrared spectra acquired around 1 min after spinning showed peaks characteristic of both SiO2 and SiOH. Additional features at ≍580, 1093, and 1130 cm−1 were observed and possible origins are discussed. Peaks at ≍580 and 1130 cm−1, which increased in intensity with solution age time, are attributed to cyclic Si–O, e.g., 4-member rings. When films were exposed to room air, ring concentration decreased significantly within 30 min. Rings were stable for hours, however, when films were kept in N2. The feature at 1093 cm−1, most sensitive to H2O/TEOS, is attributed to residual Si–O–C.

In relation to the intermediacy of azobenzene-4-hydrogen sulfate in the Wallach rearrangement of azoxybenzene, the potassium salt has been characterized and subjected to examination under acidic conditions. A pKa value of −2.14 has been obtained, for N-protonation. The sulfate salt hydrolyzes to p-hydroxyazobenzene in acid media and the rate of the reaction has been measured over the region 22–42% H2SO4 at 25° spectrophotometrically. A correlation between rate and acidity function indicates that a two-proton process is involved; a reactive species is proposed having a nitrogen and the phenolic oxygen protonated. The relevance of these findings to Wallach rearrangement studies is discussed.
