Five new compounds related to the neurotoxin domoic acid have been characterized by spectroscopic methods. They include a diastereoisomer that occurs naturally with domoic acid in mussels and four hydrogenation products. The stereochemistry of the two epimeric tetrahydro derivatives could not be assigned on the basis of the NMR data alone because of high conformational flexibility. However, a clear-cut assignment was possible by molecular modelling in combination with the NMR data.

Preparative methods have been explored for the synthesis of small, volatile polysilaalkanes, which could serve as starting materials for the production of amorphous silicon a-SiC:H. High yield pathways have been developed for H3SiCH2CH2SiH3 and H3SiCH2CH2CH2SiH3. These compounds can be converted into symmetrically halogen-functional derivatives through the reac­tions with SnCl4 or Br2. The homologous H3SiCH2CH2SiH2CH3 has also been prepared and halogenated, starting from the corresponding vinylsilane via the hydrosilylation route. Allylsilanes were the source of the synthesis of H3SiCH2CH=CH2, CH3SiH2CH2CH=CH, SiH2(CH2CH = CH2)2, SiH2(CH2CH2CH2SiH3)2, or HSi(CH2CH2CH2SiH3)3. Methylated deriva­tives are also available. - Some physical and spectroscopic properties of the new compounds have been investigated. In particular. NMR data were collected and used for an assessment of structure and isomerism.

This paper describes the synthesis of two photochromic 2-indolyl-fulgides by stobbe condensation of the corresponding 2-acyl-1,3-dimethyl-indole derivatives with diethyl isopropylidene succinate in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane potassium. The overall yields was up to 41% for 3 steps. Both prepared compounds are sensitive to UV light and change colors upon irradiation. And the two fulgides can be switched back and forth 100 times without obvious degradation. Thermal stabilities of the fulgides in acetonitrile at room temperature for 30 days and at 80 °C for 12 h were measured using UV-vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The absorption spectra of both forms did not exhibit any sign of degradation. The NMR data indicated that no new compounds were detected. The utilization of these materials for use in photochromic textiles were discussed.

Bioassay and t.l.c. guided separation of extracts from the New Zealand marine sponge Dysidea sp. has led to the isolation of avarol (1), six other known compounds (2)–(4) and (6)–(8), and seven new compounds (9)–(15). All but one of these, compound (8), are related to avarol. The structures of all the compounds have been established by spectroscopic methods.

A number of macrocyclic (1b-3b) and linear oligoether compounds (4b-8b) with 2,2'- methylenebis(4-aminophenol) or 2-aminophenol characteristic building blocks have been synthesized by reduction of the corresponding nitro derivatives with Pd -C/hydrazine hydrate. The pKa' values of the new compounds have been determined by potentiometric titration. These and the observed spectroscopic data are discussed and compared with related compounds. A crystalline 1:1 complex of the diamino crown 3b with NaSCN has also been prepared and characterized.

Three new angucyclinones, saccharothrixins A (6), B (7) and C (8), together with five known analogues, X-14881 A (1), X-14881 E (2), ochromycinone (3), X-14881 C (4) and X-14881 B (5), were isolated from the actinomycete Saccharothrix espanaensis An 113 associated with the marine mollusk Anadara broughtoni. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including one- and two-dimensional NMR and by comparison of the NMR data with those of the structurally related known angucyclinone X-14881 A (1).

Three new compounds, 3,4-secotirucalla-4(28),7,24-trien-3,21-dioic acid 1, the corresponding 3-monomethyl ester 12, and 2′-hydroxyrohitukin 13, have been isolated from the bark of Guareacedrata (Meliaceae). The structures of 1 and 12 were confirmed by correlation with methyl 3-oxotirucalla-8,24-dien-21-oate (methyl isoelemonate) 6. The 1H and 13C nmr data are reported.

The paper presents the synthesis and characterization of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Zn(II) and Hg(II) complexes with N1-[4-(4-bromo-phenylsulfonyl)-benzoyl]-N4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-thiosemicarbazide. The new compounds were characterized by IR, EPR, electronic spectroscopy, magnetic moments, thermo-gravimetric analysis and elemental analysis.

The paper presents the synthesis of cyclo (bis-paraquat p-phenylene p-phenylene-carbonyl) tetrakis (hexafluorophosphate), named �CETOBOX�, and the closely related structural determinations. This compound exists in three tautomeric forms. These forms were evidentiated by NMR-data (1H-NMR, TOCSY, COSY, NOESY), UV-Vis spectra coupled with pH measurements and by synthesis. As the �CETOBOX� gives �in situ� only the corresponding monoylide, the synthesis of a new fluorescent indolizine cyclophane has been performed by a 3+2 cycloaddition. All structures of the new compounds presented herein have been established by NMR spectroscopy. Also, theoretical methods (MM3, AM1, AM1-COSMO and B88LYPDFT) have been used to determine the most stable conformer structures.
