The intramolecular radical cyclization of ω-bromo α,β-unsaturated esters for the synthesis of carbocyclic compounds is described. The effect of carbon chain substituents, the bulk of the ester group, and the olefin geometry were examined. The highest level of stereoselectivity (trans/cis: 9/1) was achieved with the Z ester via an exo cyclization. The sequential radical cyclization of a dihalodienoate to give a cis-fused bicyclic structure is also described.

Pharmacokinetic studies of cocaine have been carried out only in the last decade, although its local anesthetic action and addictive properties have been known for almost 100 years. Elimination half-lives of cocaine in man estimated from serial plasma concentration are relatively short and range from 0.5 to 1.1 h after i.v. and 0.9–1.5 h after administration by the nasal or oral route. The bioavailability after nasal inhalation is about 60%. The bicyclic structure of cocaine is characterized by functional groups including N-methyl, carboxyl methyl ester, and benzoyl ester, which are susceptible to biotransformation. Hydrolysis of the benzoyl group to ecgonine methyl ester is catalyzed by plasma cholinesterase and is thus under monogenic control. The hydrolytic cleavage of the other ester group, methyl ester, to benzoyl ecgonine occurs spontaneously at body temperature. In contrast, N-demethylation of cocaine mediated by microsomal cytochrome P-450 produces norcocaine and this metabolite was shown to be pharmacologically active, the action being similar to cocaine.Key words: cocaine, hydrolysis, plasma cholinesterase, cytochrome P-450.

Amine collectors are widely used as oxidized ore collectors.Based on OECD 301B testing method, the biodegradability of amine collectors were analyzed and evaluated, and the values of IB of lauryl amine, octadecylamine, laurtrimonium chloride, lauryl trimethyl ammonium bromide, decane-propyl ether amine and dodecyl propyl ether amine were 173.4, 162.2, 164.6, 171.2, 160.8 and 149.4, respectively. The biodegradation of six test substances all exceeded 10% in 10 days, and all up to over 50% within 28 days. Considering comprehensively the two evaluation standards, the six amine collectors are all biodegradable. Evaluation of the biodegradability of amine collectors provides information that the chemical structure influences the biodegradability of amine collectors. It seems that the existence of ester group decreases the biodegradability of ether amine, and the shorter the carbon chain, the greater the biodegradation occurred.

The steroid O-alkyloximes with various alkyl length (2-4 carbons) and with terminal hydroxyl groups were oxidized to aldehydes and their Wittig reaction with triethyl phosphonoacetate was studied. Oximes derived from 17-oxoandrost-5-en-3β-yl acetate and from 7-oxo and 19-oxocholest-5-en-3β-yl acetate were used. Except of 7- and 19-[O-(2-hydroxyethyl)]oximes, all the hydroxyalkyloximes gave successively aldehydes and corresponding unsaturated esters. The method is useful for the lengthening of the carbon chain in ω-substituted O-alkyloximes.

The cyclization of the α-iodo mixed acetals derived from properly substituted cyclohexenols , a process which has already been shown to permit the stereoselective and regioselective introduction of a different carbon chain at each of the termini of the allylic double bond, may be used for the construction of trans hydrindans suitable for further elaboration to steroids. In one particular instance, the process involves the formation of four new carbon-carbon bonds in a single operation.
