    It has been found that the report by Janniah and Guha should be denied regarding the existence of two isomers of hydrazodithiodicarbamide (I) as thiol type, m.p. 223°, and dithiol type, m.p. 203°. These two show identical absorption curves and should, therefore, be polymorphs. The two authors' report that there is an endo-form, m.p. 245°, to 2-amino-5-mercaptothiodiazole, m.p. 234°, obtained by the hydrochloric acid cyclization of (I), should also be denied, since no compound with m.p. 245° was obtained in the present experiments in this authors' laboratory. Further denial has been obtained on the report by Janniah and Guha that the substance of m.p. 177° obtained by the conc. hydrochloric acid cyclization of hydrazomonothiodicarbamide is 2-amino-5-hydroxythiodiazole (II), and that of m.p. 235° obtained by acetic anhydride cyclization of (II) is the endo-form. The latter compound is 2-amino-5-hydroxythiodiazole. No definite confirmation has yet been obtained as to the structure of the substance with m.p. 177°.

    As described in the previous report, 1-substituted 3-methyl-6, 7-methylenedioxy-3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline is formed by reacting safrol and acid amide in a suitable solvent in the presence of phosphoryl chloride. Application of this reaction to methyleugenol successfully yielded 1-substituted 3-methyl-6, 7-dimethoxy-3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline. For example, the use of acetamide, benzamide, 3, 4-dimethoxybenzamide, 3, 4-methylenedioxy-benzamide, and phenylacetamide as acid amide in the reaction of methyleugenol and phosphoryl chloride respectively yielded 1-methyl-, 1-phenyl-, 1-(3′, 4′-dimethoxyphenyl)-, 1-(3′, 4′-methylenedioxyphenyl)-, and 1-benzyl-3-methyl-6, 7-dimethoxy-3, 4-dihydroiso-quinolines.

    In order to increase the yield of dihydroisoquinoline derivatives obtained by the condensation of safrol or methyleugenol with various acid amides, several kinds of condensation agents were tried but phosphoryl chloride seemed to be the most effective. In the preparation of 3, 4-dihydroneupaverine, i.e. 1-(3′, 4′-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3-methyl-6, 7-methylenedioxy-3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline, 3, 4-methylenedioxybenzonitrile is formed as a by-product, and therefore, p-nitrobenzonitrile or p-nitrobenzamide was applied to safrol by which the objective isoquinoline derivative was obtained in either case but it required a long period of time in the case of the former with a very poor yield. It is assumed, from this result, that nitrile itself does not directly react with safrol in this reaction but the amide adds to the double bond in safrol and then undergoes isoquinoline cyclization by the action of phosphoryl benzamide. It can also be assumed that the initially formed nitrile by the dehydration of acid amide also takes part in the reaction.

    In order to find the effect of thioalkyl group introduced into a benzene nucleus on local anesthetic properties, 15 kinds of alkylaminoacetanilide substituted in the ortho and para positions with thioalkyl group were prepared and their local anesthetic properties were compared. In general, the anesthetic action increased with the increase of the number of carbon atoms in the thioalkyl group, with attendant increase in toxicity. The maximum efficacy was found in p-thioamyldiethylaminoacetanilide which possessed 2.3 times the surface anesthetic power of cocaine. These substances possess a certain amount of local irritating action, similar to the corresponding alcoxyl compounds, but it was observed that their anesthetic properties are slightly better than those of oxygen compounds. Reduction of alcoxyl compounds, to decrease irritating action, to hydroxyl derivatives resulted in the loss of local anesthetic action together with the decrease of irritating properties.

    For the purpose of preparing antispasmodics with strong effect and small toxicity, glycerol ethers of nitrogen-free bicyclic compounds were prepared and pharmacological tests were carried out. Of the new compounds prepared, 3-(1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-7-naphthyloxy)-1, 2-propanediol was found to be better than Myanesin in slackening and paralysing the muscles, toxicity, action time, safety rate, and inhibition of convulsions induced by spasmodic poisons. 3-(1, 2, 3, 4-Tetrahydro-8-naphthyloxy)-1, 2-propanediol was found to be the next, with properties slightly lower than those of Myanesin. Such actions were found to be weak in compounds of this series such as 3-methylphenoxy-, 3-m-propylphenoxy-, and 3-m-butylphenoxy-1, 2-propanediols.

    Relationship between substitution reaction and steric rearrangement in N-methylephedrine was examined and the result was compared with that in the case of ephedrine. Application of phosphorus pentachloride to d-N-methylephedrine (I) and to l-φ-N-methylephedrine (II) respectively yielded (-)-φ-1-phenyl-1-chloro-2-dimethylaminopropane hydrochloride (III) from (I), and (III) and (+)-1-phenyl-1-chloro-2-dimethylaminopropane hydrochloride (IV) from (II). Application of aqueous solution of silver nitrate to (III) yielded a mixture of (I) and (II), while heating (III) with aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide gave (II) alone. Application of sodium hydroxide to (IV) gave (I). It was assumed that ethylene-immonium ion is formed as an intermediate in the reaction of (III) to (II), and two Walden inversions occurred consecutively during its cyclization and cleavage. Exactly the same relationships were found to exist in l-N- and d-φ-N-methylephedrines.
    In the previous paper, the ethylene-imine derivative, formed during the formation of φ-1-phenyl-1-chloro-2-acylmethylaminopropane (VII) through N-methyl-1-phenyl-2-methylethylene-imine (VI) from φ-1-phenyl-1-chloro-2-methylaminopropane, derived from ephedrine or φ-ephedrine, was assumed to belong to the pseudo series, but later experimental results seem to point that the compound belongs to the normal (cis-form) series and that Walden inversions occured during its cyclization and cleavage.

    Relationship between substitution reaction and steric rearrangement between erythro and threo compounds of 1, 2-diphenyl-2-methylaminoethanol-(1) was examined and it was found that the situation identical with ephedrine also existed. Treatment of the N-acetyl derivative (VI) of erythro-1, 2-diphenyl-2-methylaminoethanol-(1) (I) with alcoholic hydrochloric acid results in its rearrangement to the O-acetyl derivative (VIII) of the threo series while the threo-1, 2-diphenyl-2-aminoethanol-(1) (II) obtained by the hydrolysis of (VIII) undergoes rearrangement to the N-acetyl (VI) or O-acetyl (VIII) derivative of the erythro-series via threo-chloro (III), erythro-ethylene-imine (IV), and threo-N-acetylchloro (V) derivatives. Hydrolysis of (VI) or (VIII) was found to yield (I).

    Attempt was made to find a simple and rapid determination method for rutin in Kaika, a crude drug composed of the flower buds of Sophora japonica L. The reaction conditions of rutin-Al complex, and the correlation between rutin concentration and absorption were statistically examined. The flower buds were extracted with 99% methanol, using a new type extractor, treated with ether to remove quercetin, and diluted with a suitable amount of methanol to prepare a sample solution. To 2cc. of this sample solution, 3cc. of 0.1 mole aqueous solution of aluminum chloride and 5cc. of 1 mole aqueous solution of potassium acetate were added, allowed to stand at a room temperature for two hours, and the absorption (y) of rutin-Al complex was measured by a photoelectric colorimeter, using S-47 filter. The percentage of rutin (x) at 95% confidence limit was calculated from the following equation: x=(0.0612y-0.00072)±0.00049.

    Following considerations were made regarding the so-called second-type Beckmann rearrangement by which nitrile is formed from ketoxime.
    1) Such rearrangement easily occurs with compounds in which C-C bond (C-H bond in aldoxime) in the transposition of the oxime group is easily cleaved.
    2) Such rearrangement was confirmed to occur primarily by cleavage without passing through an intermediate of acid aride or imide, by detailed studies on camphor oxime and anti-α-isonitrosocamphor.
    3) It was pointed out that the rearrangement agent does not directly attack the β-carbon, the carbon atom next to the carbon bonding with nitrogen.

    By the methylation of phenylglucosazone, phenyl(1)-methylphenyl(2)-glucosazone was isolated. Condensation of acetone to the latter resulted in the bonding of acetone at C5 and C6, to form 5, 6-monoacetone-phenyl(1)-methylphenyl(2)-glucosazone, whose further methylation gave 3, 4-dimethyl-5, 6-monoacetone-phenyl(1)-methylphenyl(2)-glucosazone. Phenyl(1)-methylphenyl(2)-glucosazone required 3 moles of periodic acid to form 2 moles of formic acid and precipitated yellow needles of mesoxaldehyde-phenyl(1)-methylphenyl-(2)-osazone, whose color changed to blood red on irradiation of sunlight. However, the melting point of the red crystals was no different from that of the yellow one, the color being recovered on recrystallization. This change was reversible and could be repeated number of times.

    2-β-Hydroxyethyl-4-amino-5-cyanopyrimidine (III) was prepared from β-hydroxypropionitrile by deriving it first to β-hydroxypropioimidoether by the application of the alcohol and hydrogen chloride, then to β-hydroxypropioamidine by the application of ammonia to the ether, and by the condensation of ethoxymethylenemalonitrile. (III) forms 2-β-chloroethyl derivative (IV) by the action of phosphoryl chloride, and 2-β-acetoxyethyl derivative (V) by acetylation with acetic anhydride in pyridine. Heating of (III) with acetic anhydride alone results in the formation of 2-vinyl derivative (VI) with (V).

The Japanese senega was found to be similar to the Northern senega, generally used as drugs, in that it possessed many branched lateral roots and fine rootlets, especially with strong tendency of lateral roots to bend, and showing keel and abnormal growth of internal structure. These facts probably indicate that the botanical origin of the two drugs are quite closely related. It was also found that the characteristics of Japanese senega were almost identical with those of Southern senega.

    Aconitum tasiromontanum Nakai roots (Tashiroyamabushi) were collected in the forests around Nasu-Sandogoya, in central Japan, and their alkaloid content was examined. Crude base was obtained in approximately 0.1% yield as against fresh root. Of the crude base, 64% precipitate out from the hydrochloric acid solution upon the addition of ammonia water, and 9.8% are obtained by extraction of its mother liquor with chloroform. Purification of the former by chromatography yielded hypaconitine, mesaconitine, aconitine, and ignavine, as crystalline bases. The characteristics of this plant are that its alkaloid contains a very large amount of mesaconitine, a small amount of hypaconitine and aconitine, and that it contains, although in a small amount, the newly found ignavine.

    1) Dried B. C. G. Vaccine and Dried Normal Human Serum are marked as lyophilized product sealed in hermetic ampuls. In such a country as Japan where atmospheric moisture is very high, the moisture content of air in the room where ampuls are opened for examination of moisture content gives a great deal of effect on the determined values. For this reason, the relationship between the moisture content of air and the time spent in weighing was examined. Both preparations were found to absorb approximately 1-5% of moisture during 3 minutes of weighing in the air containing 50% or more moisture. When the relative moisture was below 30%, there were almost no increase in the weight of a sample by weighing during 3 minutes.
    2) The moisture content of Dried B. C. G. Vaccine and Dried Serum is carried out by the weight method. Comparison of this method with that using the Karl Fischer reagent (time of contact with the reagent: 45 minutes) showed that both preparations gave a larger value by the Karl Fischer method, but with penicillin and streptomycin, there were no difference between the values by the two methods.

    White bird-lime was purified with ether from which 48% of purified bird-lime was obtained. Its hydrolysis yielded 42.8% of fatty acids, 41.4% of crystalline unsaponifiable matter, and 4.3% of non-crystalline unsaponifiable matter. Acetylation of the crystalline unsaponifiable matter, followed by recrystallization from ethyl acetate yielded a new triterpene alcohol in 1.61% yield, designated as ilexol, of m.p. 205-206°, [α]D28: -16.81°(CHCl3), which gives an acetate of m.p. 282-283°, [α]D28: +22.29°(CHCl3), and a benzoate of m.p. 242-243°. α-Amyrin and lupeol were detected in the residue, with a larger amount of α-amyrin. No evidence was obtained for the presence of β-amyrin.

    Biological changes of p-(α-aminoethyl)-phenylsulfonamide (I), p-(α-aminoethyl)-phenyl methyl sulfone (II), p-(β-aminoethyl)-phenylsulfonamide (III), and p-(β-aminoethyl)-phenyl methyl sulfone (IV) in rabbit were observed by the direct injection of the aqueous solution of the hydrochlorides of these compounds into rabbit stomach by Nela-ton's catheter. The urine was collected about 40 hours after injection, and extracted with ether or ethyl acetate at an optimum pH. Unchanged, free bases of (I) and (II) were obtained in 57% and 26% yield, respectively, and a very small amount of the acetylated compound of (I). (III) and (IV) yielded oxidation products, p-(carboxymethyl)-phenylsulfonamide and p-(carboxymethyl)-phenyl methyl sulfone in 58% and 55% yield, respectively. The free bases of these compounds were not recovered These results led to the conclusion that the oxidation of aminomethyl group was interfered by the introduction of a methyl group into the α-position of the amino radical.

    Hydrolysis of allithiamine with hydrochloric acid was found to yield formic acid, 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine (I), and α-aceto-γ-hydroxypropyl allyl disulfide (II). Reduction of (II) in acetic acid solution with zinc dust yielded allylmercaptan (IV) and γ-aceto-γ-mercaptopropyl alcohol (III). Reduction of allithiamine in alcoholic hydrochloric acid with zinc dust resulted in the formation of allyimercaptan (IV) and vitamin B1 (VI). From these results, the structure of 2-[2′-methyl-4′-amino-pyrimidyl(5′)]-methylformamino-5-hydroxy-Δ2-pentenyl(3) allyl disulfide (VII) can be given to allithiamine. Further examinations were made to find which of the component of garlic bulbs reacted with vitamin B1 to form allithiamine and it was found that the latter was formed by the reaction of allicin (IX) and vitamin B1.

    The reaction of cholesteryl acetate with N, N-dichlorobenzenesulfonamide (Dichloramine-B) under the conditions used by Fieser in his oxidative reaction with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) produced two hypochlorous acid adducts, (A) C29H49O3Cl, m.p. 195-196° (yield, 48%), and (B) C29H49O3Cl, m.p. 186-187° (yield, 7%). The melting point of (A) coincides with that of 5α-chlorocholestane -3β, 6β-diol 3-acetate. When (A) is heated with alcoholic NaOH, it undergoes saponiicatron and at the same time an oxide ring is formed to give the known cholesterol β-oxide, m.p. 131-132.5°. The acetylation of (A) results in the formation of 5α-cholestane-3β, 6β-diol 3, 6-diacetate. (B) is in complete agreement with 6β-chlorocholestane -3β, 5α-diol 3-acetate.
    The reaction of cholesterol with Dichloramine-B under the same conditions as in the case of cholesteryl acetate produced only one hypochlorous acid adduct, C27H47O2Cl, m.p. 165-166° (decomp.), in 23% yield, which corresponded with the compound representable by 5α-chlorocholestane-3β, 6β-diol. In this case the isomer having C5-OH and C6-Cl could not be isolated, probably due to the formation of this compound in a small quantity and the coexistence of several other compounds. In accordance with the inference by Urushibara, Mori, Fürst, and the others, these compounds are believed to have the above-mentioned structural arrangements.

    Reaction of cholesteryl acetate with N, N-dibromobenzenesulfonamide (Dibrornamine-B) in dilute acetone containing some acetic acid gave two compounds, (A) and (B). (A), C29H49O3Br, m.p. 175° (decomp.), [α]D20=-33.8° (yield, 37%), was established as 5α-bromocholestane-3β, 6β-diol 3-acetate from its acetyl derivative, oxidation product, debrominated product of the oxidation product, and the formation of a β-oxide compound by treating with alcoholic KOH. (B), C29H49O3Br, m.p. 188° (decomp.), [α]D32=-34.7° (yield, 6%), was found to be 6β-bromocholestane-3β, 5α-diol 3-acetate from the properties of the α-oxide compound obtained by treating with alcoholic KOH. Cholesteryl acetate was reacted with NBS according to the Fieser's report. In this case two compounds, (C) and (D), corresponding to the above (A) and (B) were obtained, but the 6-one compound reported by Fieser could not be isolated.

    Reaction of cholesterol with Dibromamine-B produced two compounds, (A) and (B). (A), C27H48O3, m.p. 236-238° (yield, 61%), was identical with cholestane-3β, 5α, 6β-triol, and (B), C27H48O2Br, m.p. 154-155° (decomp.), [α]D32=+21.1°, seemed to be the HOBr adduct of cholesterol, but this product could not be thoroughly investigated owing to its poor yield. Reaction of the triol compound (A) with Dibromamine-B or with Dichloramine-B in dioxane containing some water yielded cholestane-3β, 5α-diol-6-one, C27H46O3, m.p. 232-234°, in a good yield.
