    Chlorination of 6-chloro-4-cyclohexylresorcinol in ether solution with sulfuryl chloride results in the formation of an unstable intermediate, instead of the 2, 6-dichloro compound, and the recrystallization of the intermediate from benzene gives a white substance (I), m.p. 140-141.5° (decomp.), which shows a formula of C12H14O2Cl2⋅C6H6, possessing one mole of benzene and showing a phototropy. The crystals become tinted pink when directly irradiated by sunlight, and the melting point decreases in croportion to the duration of irradiation, finally yielding yellowish brown to brown prystals of m.p. 82-88°. The pink crystals of m.p. 131-133°, obtained by 18 minutes' irradiation, completely returned to the white substance after 24 hours, showing an m.p. 140-141.5°, but those that have changed to brown do not change color or return to the original white substance even after standing in the dark for some period. (I), when dried at 80° for 24 hours, in vacuum, or heated to over 70° for 1.5 hours, changes to a compound possessing a formula of C12H14O2Cl2 (II), m.p. 145° (decomp.), which is not greatly affected by light, only being tinted pale yellow. It seems that 6-chloro-4-alkylresorcinols generally yield by chlorination an unstable intermediate that shows phototropy but details on them have not been studied yet.

    In order to obtain 2, 6-dichloro-4-cyclohexylresorcinol, 6-chloro compound was chlorinated with sulfuryl chloride but, instead of the objective compound, an unstable intermediate was obtained and its properties were studied. The intermediate shows phenolic properties but is totally different from chloroalkylresorcinols. Its absorption spectrum showed that the absorption curve has shifted to a longer wave-length range compared to those of 6-chloro- or 2, 6-dichloro-4-cyclohexylresorcinol. The compound yields a precipitate with methanolic silver nitrate solution which is not the case with the 6-chloro or 2, 6-dichloro compound. Methylation with diazomethane gives a monomethyl ether which no longer shows phenolic properties and which, by catalytic reduction, liberates one mole of chlorine and resumes the phenolic properties. Methylation of the latter yields 6-chloro-4-cyclohexylresorcinol dimethyl ether whose dehalogenation and subsequent permanganate oxidation give β-resorcylic acid dimethyl ether.

    Chlorination of 6-chloro-4-cyclohexylresorcinol with sulfuryl chloride gives an unstable intermediate (I), possessing one phenolic hydroxyl radical. Its methylation with diazomethane, followed by catalytic reduction results in the formation of a mono-methyl ether (V) of 6-chloro-4-cyclohexylresorcinol. In order to determine the relative positions of the phenolic hydroxyl and the methoxyl group in (V), various reactions were carried out from which (V) was assumed to be 6-chloro-4-cyclohexylresorcinol-3-methyl ether, showing the phenolic hydroxyl to be present in the 1-position and the methoxyl at 3-position.

    By the passage of a mixture of 2, 6-lutidine (I) and air over a catalyst, 6, 6′-dimethyl-α-pyridoin (II), C14H14O2N2, was obtained as orange red prisms, m. p. 200°. Unless (I) used for this catalytic vapor-phase oxidation is pure, the yield of (II) becomes very poor. The catalyst MoO3 (WO3 and V2O5 as promotors)-pumice stone was found to be better than V2O5 (WO3, MoO3 and CrO3 as promotors). (II), during its recrystallization, easily underwent autoxidation to 6, 6′-dimethyl-α-pyridil (III), C14H12O2N2, as yellow prisms of m. p. 173°. (II) is also easily oxidized to (III) by potassium permanganate or conc. nitric acid. Reduction of (III) with Pt-catalyst returns it to (II). A monoacetyl derivative of (II) was obtained as colorless prisms, m. p. 130°. Oxidation of (III) with hydrogen peroxide in dioxane gives, with a good yield, 6-melhylpicolinic acid. 6, 6′-Dimethyl-α-pyridil crystals are tinted green when exposed to light but the color changes back to the original yellow when allowed to stand in the dark.

    By passing a mixture of quinaldine (I) and air over a catalyst of V2O5, MoO3 and WO3, heated to 450-480°, quinaldoin (III), C20H14O2N2, was isolated from the product as brown microprisms, m. p. 233° (decomp.), with a very small amount of quinoline aldehyde (II). During its recrystallization from a mixture of dioxane and alcohol, (III) undergoes autoxidation to give quinaldil (IV), C20H12O2N2, as yellow, long needles, m. p. 269°. Oxidation of (III) with potassium permanganate or conc. nitric acid easily changes it to (IV), which returns to (III) on catalytic hydrogenation with PtO2. This relationship is the same as that seen with 6, 6′-dimethyl-α-pyridoin and 6, 6′-dimethyl-α-pyridil. Catalytic vapor-phase oxidation of (I) failed to yield quinoline or quinoline-2-carboxylic acid. Oxidation of (I) With SeO2 in dioxane or alcohol, chiefly gives (II) with a small amount of (III), or vice versa, according to the reaction conditions. The yield ratio of (II) and (III) was found to be independent of the freshness or age of SeO2.

    1) Pentacyanoiron complex salts such as sodium nitroprusside, pentacyanoamminferroate and pentacyanoaquoferroate, react with hydroxylamine in NaOH or KOH solutions to give ruby red coloration which is not manifested in other alkali solutions (such as Na2CO3, NaHCO3, NH4OH, Ba(OH)2, Ca(OH)2). This allows distinction of these two kinds of alkalis.
    2) To a very small amount of phenol compounds, or to 1 drop of its aqueous solution, 1 drop of 1% pentacyanoferroate solution is added, followed by l% solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 1 drop of N-NaOH, by which green to blue coloration results. By this means, detection of phenol compounds is possible. Weakness of the coloration can be increased by slight heating.

    Salicylaldehyde and nitrosalicylaldehydes were prepared as the starting material for the synthetic preparation of coumarin- and nitrocoumarin-3-carboxylic acids. Salicylaldehyde, 3-nitro-, 4-nitro- and 5-nitro-salicylaldehydes were obtained in a fairly good yield by the CrO3 oxidation of o-cresol and the monoacetates of corresponding nitrocresols in acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid. The Reimcr-Tiemann reaction sometimes gave poor yields due to the effect of the nitro group, but this reaction had to be resorted to for 6-nitrosalicylaldehyde because of the availability of the original material. 4-Nitrosalicylaldehyde is obtained as yellowish white plates, m. p. 136-136.5°, recrystallized from a mixture of benzene and ligroin, and gives a phennyihydrazone of red needles. m. p. 174°, from alcohol.

    Fresh leaves and roots of Rhodea japonica Roth. were extracted, after preventing the action of enzyme by the Stoll method, treated in the usual manner, and the glycosides were separated by adsorption chromatography by which rhodexin A and rhodexin C were obtained in 0.008% and 0.03% yield, respectively. It was then found that rhodexin B was not present at all so that it was assumed that rhodexins A and C were contained in the plant organism as the true glycosides. The fresh fruits of Rhodea japonica were separated into pericarp and seed, and extracted separately to examine the presence of glycoside. It was found that glycoside was not contained in the pericarp, and about the same amount of rhodexins A and C were found to be present in the seeds as in fresh leaves and roots.

    Products obtained by the condensation of acetylene (I) and ammonia (II) invariably possess even-numbered carbon atoms, odd-numbered pyridine (IV) and lutidines not being formed at all. Even in compounds with even-numbered carbons, α-picoline, γ-picoline and 2, 3, 6-collidine are formed, but not β-picoline and 1, 3, 6-collidine. The present workers succeeded in obtaining pyridine as well as β-picoline and 3, 5-lutidine by the addition of methanol in the mixture of (I) and (II). Various catalysts were tried and Cd-phosphate, -chromate, -tungstate, -titanate and -vanadate were found to give the best yields of pyridine, with Fuller's earth used as the carrier. The best temperature range was found to be 350-425°, molar ratio of (I), (II) and MeOH at 1:1:1, the highest yield of (IV) being 23.7% calculated from the amount of (I) used.

    Ortho, meta and para derivatives of 1-diethylaminoethoxyphenyl-3-methyl-6, 7-meth-ylenedioxyisoquinoline (V) and the dimethylamino compounds (VI) were prepared by reacting dimethyl- and diethyl-aminoethyl chlorides with 1-hydroxyphenyl-3-methyl-6, 7-methylenedioxyisoquinolines (IV), respectively, using sodium ethoxide as a condensing agent. Diethylaminoethyl 1-methyl-6, 7-methylenedioxyisoquinoline-3-carboxylate (VIII) was obtained by the trans-esterification between methyl 1-methyl-6, 7-methylenedioxy-isoquinoline-3-carboxylate (VII) and diethylaminoethanol. Biological tests of (V), (VI), (VIII) and methobromides of (V) and (VI) are now in progress.

    It was found that, starting with industrially obtainable butyric acid, p-methoxy-α-hydroxybutyrophenone and p-methoxy-α-acetoxybutyrophenone were prepared after several processes, to which anisole was condensed, with conc. sulfuric acid as the condensing agent, to yield α, α-dianisyl-β-butanone. The preparation of 4, 4′-dihydroxy-α, β-diethylstilbene, which possesses an estrogenic activity, starting with butyric acid and using the above butanone as the intermediate, was successfully concluded. Condensation of anisole to α, α-dianisyl-β-ethylbutanol, obtained by reacting ethylmagnesium bromide to α, α-dianisyl-β-butanone, with conc. sulfuric acid as the condensing agent, resulted in the formation of 4, 4′-dimethoxy-α, β-diethylstilbene.

    It was assumed that the monochloro compound (I), m.p. 193-194°, obtained from dl-threo- and dl-erythro-1-phenyl-2-aminopropane-1, 3-diol hydrochloride is the threo compound. Acetylation (II) of this monochloro compound, followed by saponification (III→IV), yielded an N-acetyl erythro compound (V). The mechanism of this reaction was assumed to be one example of a participation of acyl group in replacement reaction, probably via oxozalidinium compound (III). By the reactions described in the Reports I and II, it has become possible for a reciprocal inversion to occur between an erythro and a threo compound, as shown in the accompanying Tables.

    It was assumed that the monochloro compound (II), m. p. 201-202°, obtained by the respective application of thionyl chloride to L(-)-ephedrine and L(+)-ψ-ephedrine was the threo compound, and the mechanism of the ethylenimine cyclization and its cleavage are discussed. It was considered essential that the reaction which yielded N-acetyl L-ephedrine by the acetylation and saponification of this monochloro compound had to pass through an oxazolidinium compound. An advantageous rearrangement process whereby L (+)-ψ-ephedrine or a mixture of L(+)-ψ-ephedrine and L(-)-ephedrine was led to L(-)-ephedrine has been described.

    Matsukawa has already reported that acetylation of γ-aceto-γ-chloropropyl alcohol (V) with acetic anhydride gave three isomers, 2-methyl-2-acetoxy-3-chlorotetrahyd-rofuran (VIII), 2-methyl-2-hydroxy-3-acetyl-3-chlorotetrahydrofuran (II) and γ-aceto-γ-chloropropyl acetate (VI). However, authors confirmed from infrared absorption spectra that only (VI) would be obtained in this case. In a similar manner, the compound, obtained by the treatment of (V) with benzoyl chloride, is not 2-methyl-2-hydroxy-3-benzoyl-3-chlorotetrahydrofuran (XIII) but γ-aceto-γ-chloropropyl benzoate (XVIII). Following the procedure for α-aceto-γ-acetoxypropyl [2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidyl-(5)]-methyl-dithiocarbamate (VII), SB1 (IV) was synthesized from α-aceto-γ-benzoxypropyl [2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidyl-(5)]-methyl-dithiocarbamate (XIV) obtained from (XVIII)

    An almost pure α-aceto-γ-hydroxypropyl [2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidyl-(5)]-methyl-dithiocarbarnate (VI) is obtained in an approximately quantitative yield by standing the aqueous solution of ammonium [2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidyl-(5)]-methyl-dithiocarbamate-(I), obtained by the condensation of CS2 and NH3, (NH4)2S, or (NH4)HS to 2-methyl-4-amino 5-aminomethylpyrimidine (IX), with the addition of an aqueous solution of γ-aceto-γ-chloropropyl alcohol (V). In this case, the use of O-acetate (II) or O-benzoate (VII) in place of (V) results in exactly the same reaction taking place to yield α-aceto-γ-acetoxy(or benzoxy)-propyl [2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidyl-(5)]-methyl-dithiocarbamate (III or VIII). The same result can be obtained by reacting together (V), (II) or (VII) with (IX), CS2 and NH3, but it seems more appropriate to assume that this reaction occurs by way of (I) as an intermediate.

    A new colorimetric method for the determination of m-aminophenol present in sodium p-aminosalicylate (PAS) has been devised. To a neutral solution containing 1mg. PAS and less than 50 γ of m-aminophenol in 1cc. of solution are added 0.2cc. of 27% ammonia water and 0.6cc. of 35% formaldehyde solution and, after about 5 minutes, 0.1cc. of quinone imide reagent (0.1% butanolic solution of 2, 6-dichloroquinone monochlorimide) is added. This mixture is diluted with distilled water to 5cc., shaken thoroughly and allowed to stand for 1.5hours. The extinction of this colored solution at 590 mμ is measured. The concentration of m-aminophenol in the sample solution is obtained by comparison with the extinction of a standard solution of PAS and m-aminophenol. When the amount of m-aminophenol in the sample is less than 5 γ against 1mg. of PAS, the sample solution is so adjusted as to contain 10mg. of PAS in 1cc. of solntion. In this case, 1.4cc. of formaldehyde solution is used, instead of 0.6cc., to minimize the effet of PAS on the coloration of m-aminophenol.
