Ever since the time of van’t Hoff and Le Bel the number investigations dependent on optical activity, or attempting to elucidate optical activity, has been very great, and it is remarkable that, even at the present time, there is no theoretical formula which gives the relation between the magnitude of the rotation and the chemical structure of the molecule concerned. The present communication supplies this want with regard to the molecule of the simplest asymmetric type: the molecule with four different groups attached to one central atom. Various special hypothese have been postulated to explain optical activity, but a few investigators have shown quite definitely that there is no necessity for any of these hypotheses. Born* and Oseen have shown independently that, if the molecule has a dissymmetric structure, the ordinary refractive properties of the atoms will account for an optical rotation. Gray* and de Mallemann have attempted calculations of formulæ for optical retatory power on this basis. However, it has not been possible to condense the numerous algebraic terms which occur in these calculaations into a compact form.

A series of six di- and tri-halogenated N-arylcinnamanilides designed as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents was prepared and characterized. Since it is known that lipophilicity significantly influences the biological activity of compounds, the hydro-lipophilic properties of these di- and tri-substituted N-arylcinnamanilides were investigated in the study. All the discussed derivatives of cinnamic acid were analyzed using the reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography method to measure lipophilicity. The procedure was performed under isocratic conditions with methanol as an organic modifier in the mobile phase using an end-capped non-polar C18 stationary reversed-phase column. In the present study, the correlations between the logarithm of the capacity factor k and log P/Clog P values calculated in various ways as well as the relationships between the lipophilicity and the chemical structure of the studied compounds are discussed.
