    Electrolytic potentials of 4-nitro-4′-bromo-(I), 4-nitro-4′-chloro (II), and 4-nitro-4′-hydroxy (III) derivatives of biphenyl ether were determined by the use of mercury dropping electrodes by polarography. The samples were saturated in 50 vol.% methanol of pH 7.0 and E1/2 was determined with 1-N-calomel electrode as the standard. Values obtained were: -0.813 volt for (I), -0.829 volt for (II) and -0.863 volt for (III). Partial hydrolysis of 4, 4′-dinitrobiphenyl ether, described in the previous report, was carried out further using Na2S and SnCl2 as the reducing agents. Na2S gave the best results and SnCl2 gave a poor yield. S″ is assumed to be oxidized to S2O3″ by which NO2 is reduced to NH2. The results of partial reduction and electrolytic reduction of 4, 4′-dinitrobiphenyl ether and 4-amino-4′-nitrobiphenyl ether by polarography were in good agreement.

    As a result of studies on Akabori reaction (A formula), the following facts were found: (1) In the reaction between benzaldehyde and dl-N-methylalanine, dl-ephedrine and dl-φ-ephedrine are obtained irrespective of the use of pyridine. (2) Similarly, two kinds of dl-compounds of 1-(3, 4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-methylaminopropane-1-ol are obtained by heating directly piperonal and dl-N-methylalanine. (3) A new reaction (B formula), differing from the Akabori reaction, takes place by heating directly benzaldehyde and dl-alanine by which benzylamine, 1, 2-diphenylethanolamine (2 kinds of dl-compounds), acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide are formed. From above results, it has been assumed that, when the amino radical in the amino acids used is primary, the reaction of B-type occurs, while when it is secondary, the A-type reaction occurs.

    It has been found that the new reaction that took place as a result of reacting benzaldehyde and dl-alanine was a common reaction among the allied aliphatic α-amino acids. The basic substances obtained by reacting benzaldehyde with dl-α-aminoisobutyric acid, dl-α-aminobutyric acid and glycine, respectively, were found to he benzylamine and two kinds of dl-compounds of 1, 2-diphenylethanolamine. The carbonyl compounds obtained as their by-product, were found to be acetone and propionaldehyde in the first two cases, but the third was not the formaldehyde expected. From the considertions of the present and the previous experiments on dl-alanine, it seems that these reactions follow the general reaction as represented by equation (I).

    The new reaction previously found was tested with (i) anisaldehyde and dl-alanine; (ii) piperonal and dl-alanine, and (iii) piperonal and dl-α-aminoisobutyric acid, and in these cases, also, the new reactions were found to take place. A reaction of aliphatic α-amino acids possessing a tertiary amino group, such as dl-dimethylalanine and dl-α-dimethylaminoisobutyric acid, with benzaldehyde was tried but decarboxylation failed to take place in these cases. It has been known that the reaction of benzaldehyde and dl-alanine in the presence of pyridine yields dl-ψ-norephedrine but, in this case too, the new reaction was found to have taken place. Summarizing the results obtained in the past three reports, it can be said that the reaction between aromatic aldehydes and aliphatic α-amino acids proceed in three different ways according to the kind of the amino group present: (i) The new reaction occurs with primary amino group; (ii) Akabori reaction chiefly takes place with secondary amino group; and (iii) no reaction occurs in the case of tertiary amino group.

    In connection with the reaction of aromatic aldehydes and α-amino acids, Akabori reactions of optically active amino acids were examined in the case of benzaldehyde and l(+)-N-methylalanine, and it was found that no optically active product could be obtained. As a general summarization of the experimental results obtained to date, the differences in reactions due to primary, secondary and tertiary amino groups were considered from the reaction mechanism and explanations reached through the electronic theory. In addition, from a qualitative observations on the reactions between aromatic aldehydes and α-amino acids, the following were found to be true: (i) The acyl derivatives of α-amino acids do not react; (ii) compounds such as anthranilic acid in which the amino group is directly attached to the aromatic nucleus also fail to react; and (iii) special kinds of carbonyl compounds, such as enanthaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and benzoin, also react as aldehydes.

    2-Bromo-, 2-isopropoxy- and 2-allyloxy-5-aminopyridines were prepared as the original materials. By the application of natant dithiocyanogen to 95% acetic acid solutions of 3 (5)-aminopyridines, nine kinds of pyridothiazoles were obtained. 2- and 5-aminopyridines are comparatively easily affected by dithiocyanogen, when a substituent that shows a large enough -E effect to compensate for the +E effect of the nuclear nitrogen is present in the 6- and 2-positions, respectively, and form thiocyano derivatives which change to pyridothiazoles. The ultraviolet absorption, maxima of pyridothiazoles, 2-methoxy-5-aminopyridine, 2-aminothiazole, and 2-amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole were comparatively studied.

    The growth promoting action of tryptophane and indole against Bacillus typhosus are remarkably accelerated in the presence of compounds -SH group, such as cystine. No difference in their co-operative growth promoting effects was found when cystine was replaced by ascorbic acid. This seems to signify that cystine acts as an adjustor of oxido-reduction potentials suitable for bacterial growth.

    Twenty-three kinds of coumarin derivatives were prepared and their analgesic and hypnotic actions were examined using mice. The potency and toxicity of each drug were compared by the values of HD50 (hypnotic dose), SD50 (sedative dose) and LD50 (lethal dose) which were determined by van der Waerden's “Flächemethode” and by Behrens-Kärber method. As a result, the following were assumed: (1) The double bond between-3-and 4-positions in the coumarin nucleus plays an important rôle for the appearance of the efficacy. (2) The potency was found to be in the order of coumarin nucleus with α-pyrone ring condensed with naphthalene at the ortho, the same condensed with benzene, and the benzene condenesed to the 6-position of α-pyrone. (3) Both α- and β-compounds were ineffective in the ethyl naphthopyrone-acetate and 4-methylnaphthopyrone series. (4) A very powerful effect was found in ethyl coumarin-3-carboxylate alone in the ethyl coumarin-carboxylate series. (5) No remarkable difference was found to exist between α- and γ-pyrone rings. (6) The nature of hypnotic actions of carboxylic acid derivatives and alkylcoumarins is different.

    Volumetric analysis in which the end point is given by high frequency has become the object of interest. The authors devised and prepared an apparatus, using a very common vacuum tube, UX-12A, which was simple as well as stable and sensitive. It was chiefly an improvement on the method of Jensen and Parrack. The mechanism of the loading effect that makes up the principle of the titration method, was assumed to be caused by the capacitative and conductive properties, and the utilization of these properties were shown to be most important. From these facts, the relationship between the concentration and sensitivity, or concentration and frequency becomes apparent. This method, as long as it does not interfere with titration reaction, is not affected by the occlusion of any foreign matter. It follows, therefore, that neutralization titration in the presence of KMnO4 or Cr2O7″, which is hardly performed by other means, can correctly be estimated by this method.

    During the course of examination on the isatin synthesis by the isonitrosoacetanilide method, some questions arose as to its reaction mechanism and, therefore, some unknown derivatives of isatin were synthesized by this method. Those obtained were 5-methoxyisatin and its phenylhydrazone from isonitroso-p-aniside synthesized from p-anisidine.

    Some higher alkyl ethers of o-aminophenol were prepared and antibacterial actions of their hydrochlorides against human type tubercle bacilli were tested in vitro (Kirchner medium) and by S. C. C. method. Compounds synthesized were ethers of methyl, ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl and benzyl. As long as the alkyl group in these ethers are straight-chain, saturated carbons of even number, there is a definite relationship between the length of the alkyl chain and the antibacterial action, the latter increasing with the increase of the number of carbon atoms. The maximum action (1:128, 000, by S. C. C. method) was found with an alkyl chain of 12 carbons, increase of carbon atoms above that resulting in the decrease of antibacterial action.

    Preparation of α-aceto-γ-(2-methyl-3-chlorotetrahydrofuryl-(2))-oxypropyl (2′-methyl-4′-aminopyrimidyl-(5′))-methyldithiocarbamate (III) and its hydrochloride (IV) by the condensation of ammonium (2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidyl-(5))-methyldithiocarbamate (I) and γ-aceto-γ-chloropropyl-(α) 2-methyl-3-chlorotetrahydrofuryl-(2) ether (II), was described in the previous (19th) report. In order to confirm the structures of (III) and (IV), (III) was treated with HCl, and (IV) heated to 180°, by which 3-(2′-methyl-4′-aminopyrimidyl-(5′))-methyl-4-methyl-5-β-hydroxyethylthiothiazolone (2) (V) was obtained besides some oily substance which was led to 3-(2′-methyl-4′-hydroxypyrimidyl-(5′))-methyl-4-methyl-5-β-hydroxyethylthiothiazolone-(2) (IX) or 2-amino-4-methyl-5-β-hydroxyethylthiazole (X), by which the oily substance was proved to be γ-aceto-γ-chloropropyl alcohol (VI) or (II). These have proved, beyond doubt, that the assumed structures for (III) and (IV) were correct.
    (II) changes to (VI) by a short-time heating with a small amount of water. Condensation of (VI) with 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine (XIV), CS2 and NH3, yields α-aceto-γ-hydroxypropyl (2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidyl-(5))-methyldithiocarbamate (XV) which changes to (V) upon treatment with HCl, and to 2-thio-7-methyl-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydropyrimido-(4, 5-d)-pyrimidine (XVI) by the application of alkali hydroxide or by heating its crystals to 190-200°.

    The effect of the N-oxide group in quinoline-N-oxide is more striking at a higher temperature. Nitration of 6-methyl-, 6-chloro-, and 6-bromo-quinolines at a low temperature gives 5-nitro compounds, while that at a higher temperature gives 4-nitro compounds. Due to the effect of the methoxyl group, 6-methoxyquinoline-N-oxide does not yield a 4-nitro compound. 4-Nitro comound is quantitatively obtained from 6-nitroquinoline-N-oxide by nitration at a low temperature.

    The agar substance from the agar preparation made from Gracilaria Confervoides Grev., was purified and chemically studied. It was hydrolyzed completedly with 1N-H2SO4, and d-galactose isolated as crystals. By partial hydrolysis in a short period of time with 0.02 N- or 0.01 N-H2SO4, five kinds of oligosaccharide were obtained whose analytical values and molecular weights were compared with those of the original agar substance. Acetyl- and methyl-agar were prepared and their properties were found to be very similar to those of agar substance obtained from Gelidium Amansii Lam. However, complete methylation product of the former could not be obtained. The content of sulfuric acid was found to be much less in the agar from Gracilaria Confervoides than that from Gelidium Amansii.

    Electrolytic oxynitration of toluene was carried out with platinum or electrodeposited lead peroxide as an anode and 40% nitric acid as the electrolytic solution. The oxidation products obtained were benzaldehyde, benzoic and oxalic acids, nitration product was p-nitrotoluene, and the oxynitration products, 4-nitro-o-cresol and benzyl nitrate. It is an interesting fact that the intermediates of electrolytic oxidation, benzyl alcohol and o-cresol were determined as benzyl nitrate and 4-nitro-o-cresol, respectively.
    It was found as a result of close observation on electrolysis products that, in this reaction, the lead peroxide anode shows remarkable surface activity.

    The molding of soy sauce was already apparent at 8.5th day of the test with the use of 4-benzylresocinol in an approximate concentration of 0.01%. However, its monohalogen derivatives, 6-chloro-4-benzylresorcinol, at ca. 0.005%, and 4′-chloro- and 4′-bromo-2, 4-dihydroxydiphenylmethane, at ca. 0.007%, sucessfully inhibited the growth of mold in soy sauce during a 50-day test period. On the other hand, 2′-chloro-2, 4-dihydroxydiphenylmethane, at ca. 0.01% concentration, was not able to stop mold-growth after 42 days. In the dichloro derivatives, 5, 4′-dichloro-2, 4-dihydroxydiphenylmethane, in a concentration of ca. 0.003%, and 3′, 4′-dichloro-2, 4-dihydroxydiphenylmethane, at ca. 0.007%, were also able to inhibit mold-growth during a 50-day test period. From above results, it is seen that the halogen substitution strengthens antiseptic action although there is a good deal of difference according to the position of the halogens substituted.
