Catechol cyclic phosphate (CCP) (IV) was found to be alcoholyzed with several primary and secondary monofunctional alcohols to give the corresponding alkyl or aralkyl ohydroxyphenyl phosphate (V) in a yield of 47∼65%. These reactions proceeded by the catalytic function of the acid reagent, CCP, used. The products (V) were further hydrolyzed by acid or alkali to give the corresponding alcohols and o-hydroxyphenyl phosphate. The catechol moiety of (V) was found inert against catalytic hydrogenolysis, while it was hydrolyzed by snake venom phosphodiesterase to alkyl or aralkyl phosphates.

The alcoholysis of catechol cyclic phosphate (I) with several polyols was investigated. Ethylene glycol and 1, 2-propanediol gave the corresponding hydroxyalkyl 1, 2-cyclic phosphates (III) via intermediate hydroxyalkyl o-hydroxyphenyl phosphates (II). (III) were hydrolyzed by acid to the corresponding hydroxyalkyl phosphates (IV). In the case of the polyols containing more than three vicinal hydroxyl groups such as, glycerol, erythritol, and mannitol, the intermediates (II) were too labile to be detected on paper chromatogram of the reaction products, but converted into the corresponding cyclic phosphates (III) which were further hydrolyzed to (IV). Thus glycerol 1, 2-cyclic phosphate, DL-erythritol 1-phosphate, and D-mannitol 1-phosphate were isolated and identified.

The infrared spectra of a number of substituted α-pyridones and α-quinolones were investigated in the region of 2000 to 4000cm
-1, and the characteristic behavior of NH absorption in α-pyridone structure was pointed out and discussed in terms of the mode of molecular association. Extremely complex and broad nature extending from 3300 down to 2400cm
-1 of the bonded NH absorption was interpreted as being due to the extreme strength of intermolecular hydrogen bond associated through a cyclic dimer. Abnormal stability of the dimer, being approximately equal to that of carboxylic acid dimer, was pointed out and discussed in terms of resonance stabilization. Ratio of v
NH/v
ND for strongest maxima was found to be 1.27 to 1.30 and 1.34 to 1.36, respectively, for dimeric and non-dimeric α-pyridone structure. Characteristic behavior in 8-substituted carbostyrils was also pointed out.

The synthesis of β-carboline derivative reported in the preceding paper was now successfully extended to include the syntheses of two new salts of pentacyclic β-carbolinium derivatives (III and IV), which formed the anhydronium bases (XXVIII and XXIX) by the agency of alkali. The reduction of (III) to the corresponding tetrahydro base (XXXVII) was only possible with sodium borohydride, directly followed by catalytic reduction over Raney nickel catalyst, while the tetrahydro base (XXXVIII) of (IV) could be obtained with an excess of sodium borohydride in boiling hydrous ethanol in one step. The stability of (XXXVII) and (XXXVIII) in the air was compared with that of tetrahydrodibenzo-quinolizines.

The enzymatic production of hydrogen sulfide by E. coli was inhibited by most of the tannins and related compounds tested. Inhibition by polyhydroxyl compounds lacking free carboxyl group is greater than that by polyhydroxycarboxylic acids. The inhibition is not competitive with substrate, nor is it reversed by the addition of a coenzyme. In order to attain a maximal inhibition it is necessary to incubate the cells with an inhibitor for a certain length of time prior to addition of the substrate. Cysteine is able to partially protect the enzyme from the action of inhibitors. This protecting effect is more pronounced when the substrate and inhibitor are incubated and then added to the reaction mixture. Inhibition by gallic acid is considerably enhanced by aerating the inhibitor solution. This suggests that the oxidized form of gallic acid is more inhibitory than gallic acid itself. There are many differences between the mechanisms of inhibition by gallic acid and d-catechin.

The structure of m-aminophenyl glucuronide was identified with authentic specimen by means of infrared absorption spectra. It was confirmed by enzymatic hydrolysis that the glucuronides of PAS had the structure of β-D-glucopyranuronoside. The relation of m-aminophenol, m-aminophenyl sulfate, m-aminophenyl glucuronide, ether-type PAS-glucuronide, and PAS was discussed.

Unexpectedly, these derivatives did not show the desired antibacterial activity in vitro. It seemed that this might be due to a small solubility of these derivatives in water.

1) The phosphorylation of riboflavin to FMN was demonstrated by intestinal phosphomonoesterase using β-glycerophosphate as a phosphate donor. 2) Phenyl phosphate and adenosine monophosphate could be used as a phosphate donor, but not adenosine di-and triphosphate, and orthophosphate. 3) Optimal pH and temperature for the phosphorylation of riboflavin agreed with those of phosphatase action. From these results, the phosphorylation of riboflavin to FMN may be attributed to the transferase action of the alkaline phosphomonoesterase. 4) Physiological significance of this reaction was discussed.

-13 to 10
-14 A. The prediction of the phenomenon was very difficult since the sign and the amount of charge was determined by the experimental conditions, but the following tendencies were found. 1) The charge found at the chute made of paraffin paper was larger than the one made of metal or glass. The grounding of the metal chute was not effective on avoiding frictional electrification. 2) A relatively small charge was found with water-soluble crystals and a larger one with water-insoluble crystals. 3) Acetanilide, acetophenetidine, and benzoic acid behaved quite differently, i.e. negative charges and then positive charges were found on the crystals in the chute experiment. It was evidenced that this was caused by the adhesion of crystal. 4) In the treatment of crystals with surfactant, the development of charge was reduced to about 1/100 with the combination of Aspirin-Tween 40-paraffin paper chute, but an opposite charges was observed in some cases.

Static electrification in tablet formation and the behavior of crystals to compression were investigated on four inorganic and 10 organic crystalline medicines, from the records of upper- and lower-punch forces and static charge using a wire resistance strain gauge and specially designed vacuum tube voltmeter. Same amounts but of opposite signs of charges were found between the tablet and the insulated punches or die. The amount of static charge was not markedly different from the one obtained when punches and die were grounded and it remained on the tablet after compression. Therefore, it was evident that the static charge was formed by the friction between the crystal and die wall and not due to piezoelectricity. The following conclusions were drawn from the results obtained. 1) The increase of static charge was recognized with the increase of upper-punch force and the same tendency was found when finer crystalline particles were compressed. It may be explained from the increase of frictional surface area of different particle size or by the crushing of crystals. 2) Static electrification was reduced to 1/2 to 1/4 by the addition of lubricants. It may be caused by the reduction of friction and the presence of a third substance since frictional electrification is specially determined by the given combination of substances. 3) Increased ratio of transmittance of force from upper punch to lower punch by the addition of lubricant decreased with the increase of upper-punch force and the degree of decrease affected by the crushing of crystal, and the affinity between crystal and lubricant. 4) Static charge was reduced to 1/20 by the treatment of crystal with a nonionic surfactant. 5) The amount of static charge found on unit weight of crystals in tablet formation was nearly the same as that appearing on the crystal in the chute experiments reported previously.

It was found that there is no great difference in the reactivity of the phenoxyl group between (III) and (IV) but the phenoxyl in these compounds were substituted more easily than that in 4-phenoxypyridine. During the course of this reaction, 4-phenylthio-(VII), 4-piperi-dino-(VIII), and 4-morpholino-6-methylpyrimidine 1-oxide (IX), which cannot be prepared by the direct N-oxide formation reaction of the corresponding tertiary bases, were obtained.

Since the reaction of sodium methoxide with 4-chloro-6-methylpyrimidine-2-carbonitrile afforded 2, 4-dimethoxy-6-methylpyrimidine, the cyano group in 2-and 4-positions of the pyrimidine ring is fairly active to nucleophilic reagents. Reaction with 2-cyanopyrimidine derivatives showed that the substitution of cyano group with alkoxide ion decreased in the order to primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyls. This reaction did not take place when the alkoxide ion was replaced with phenoxide or thiophenoxide ion, forming acid amide alone. Application of sodium ethoxide to 2-cyanoquinoline, 4-cyano-quinoline, and 4-cyanoacridine failed to produce any ethoxylated derivatives.

In the first two cases, the formation of (III) and (IV) was not observed, but in the lase case the formation of a green fluorescent substance and increase of (IV) were recognized. The green fluorescent substance was confirmed to be (III) from its Rf values and ultraviolet spectrum. From these results, it seems reasonable to think that riboflavin which is an isoalloxazine derivative is biosynthesized in the mycelium of Er. ashbyii from a pyrimidine compound (II) through a pteridine compound (III).
