1) Heating of alkylenediamine with various glycols at a high pressure in an autoclave, using Raney nickel as a catalyst, affords C-alkylated piperazines in good yield. The reaction of propylenediamine with ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and 2, 3-butanediol respectively affords 2-methylpiperazine,
cis- and
trans-2, 5-dimethylpiperazine, and α-, β-, and γ-2, 3, 5-trimethylpiperazine. In the case of 2, 3-diaminobutane with the same glycols,
cis- and
trans-2, 3-dimethylpiperazine, α- and γ-2, 3, 5-trimethylpiperazines, and α- and β-2, 3, 5, 6-tetramethylpiperazines are obtained.
2) C-Alkylated piperazines were also prepared by cyclization of N-(2-hydroxyalkyl) alkylenediamines under a high pressure and in the presence of a catalyst.
3) Condensation of diacetyl with propylenediamine and 2, 3-diaminobutane respectively afforded 2, 3, 5-trimethyl- and 2, 3, 5, 6-tetramethyl-5, 6-dihydropyrazines which were hydrogenated with sodium and ethanol to the corresponding C-alkylated piperazines. These were compared with isomers of C-alkylated piperazines obtained by the foregoing two routes.

l-homoarmepavine, which was assumed to be
l-1-(3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-2-methyl-6, 7-dimethoxy-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (II), a phenolic base obtained by cleavage of insularine (I) with metallic sodium in liquid ammonia. The racemic compound obtained by the route shown in Chart 1 exhibited infrared absorption spectrum in chloroform identical with that of
l-homoarmepavine, obtained by cleavage of insularine (I), and the Rf values in paper chromatography were also the same in the two substances, establishing that the structure of
l-homoarmepavine is represented by the formula (II). Thus, even from the reaction with sodium in liquid ammonia, insularine was proved to be one of a specific biscoclaurine-type bases with a depsidan ring.

Reduction of 3-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (I) was examined and it was found that reductive deoxygenation of the N-oxide group in the 3-nitro compound was much more facile than that in the 4-nitro compound. From the various data of reduction in solvents listed in Table I, it was found that this reduction was effected, as in the case of the 4-nitro compound, through 3-hydroxyamino- (II) and 3-amino-quinoline 1-oxide (III) to 3-aminoquinoline (IV). It was therefore considered that the facility of deoxygenation of the N-oxide group in 3-nitro and 4-nitro compounds could be explained as the difference in the electron density in the corresponding aminoquinoline 1-oxides.

Conductometry was applied to the quantitative determination of maleic hydrazide (1, 2-dihydropyridazine-3, 6-dione). An accurately measured 0.2-0.3g. of maleic hydrazide is dissolved in distilled water to make 100cc., 10-20cc. of 0.1
N sulfuric acid is added, this solution is titrated with
N sodium hydroxide, and conductance at various points is measured. This is plotted on a graph. The value derived by subtracting the number of cc. of 0.1
N sulfuric acid divided by 10 from the number of cc. of the alkali required to the 1st breaking point corresponds to one-half the amount of impurities, and the number of cc. corresponding to this half amount of impurities subtracted from the number of cc. of the alkali required to the 2nd breaking point corresponds to the amount of
N sodium hydroxide corresponding to maleic hydrazide. By the use of this correction, titration can be made with good accuracy. In diethanolamine solution, there will be no effect of impurities and diethanolamine and, with the addition of 0.1
N sulfuric acid, the space between the 1st and 2nd breaking points is the number of cc. of
N sodium hydroxide corresponding to maleic hydrazide. Comparison of this method with that of ultraviolet spectrophotometric method with the market product showed good agreement. It follows therefore that the present method is suitable as industrial analytical method since it allows a more simpler determination.

When acetyl, benzoyl, and phenylacetyl derivatives of ethyl
dl-4-(2-piperidyl) butyrate are dry distilled with the same or twice the amount of soda lime, 4-methyl-, 4-phenyl-, and 4-benzyl-
Δ3-dehydroquinolizidines are obtained in respective yield of 97%, 93%, and 95%, with generation of slight ammonia odor. These bases are unstable and colored in the air but their picrates and perchlorates form stable dehydroquinolizidinium salts and do not undergo any change even when heated in air at 120-130°.
Catalytic reduction of these bases in ethanol with palladium-carbon catalyst easily afforded 4-alkyl- or 4-arylquinolizidines in quantitative yield. It was found from these facts that this kind of cyclization reactions reported to date do not necessarily require the formation of enol type by the carbonyl group of the acid amide.

dl-3-(2-piperidyl) propionate and
dl-3-(2-pyrrolidinyl)-propionate were dry distilled with soda lime from which 3-substituted
Δ2-dehydroindo-lizidines and
Δ2-dehydropyrrolizidines were obtained in around 95% yield. Catalytic reduction of these bases with palladium-carbon easily afforded the corresponding indolizidine and pyrrolizidine derivatives. The
Δ2-dehydro bases obtained by dry distillation were extremely labile, coloring immediately in air but their picrates and perchlorates were stable. Reaction of the aqueous solution of the perchlorates of 3-methyl-
Δ2-dehydroindolizidine and
Δ2-dehydropyrrolizidine with potassium cyanide afforded 3-cyano-3-methyl-indolizidine and -pyrrolizidine derivatives which formed respective picrates. Recrystallization of the picrates from ethanol resulted in genration of hydrogen cyanide and the substances reverted to the original 3-methyl-
Δ2-dehydroindolizidine and -pyrrolizidine picrates. These reactions are the same as those of the
Δ3-dehydroquinolizidines described in the preceding paper and are clearly confirmed by infrared absorption spectra.

Hydrogen (zinc dust and acetic acid), bromine, 2, 3-dimethylbutadiene, hydrogen bromide, and thiophenol underwent addition to this double bond to form 4-thiachromanone 1, 1-dioxide and their derivatives but in the case of two latter reagents, bromo and phenylthio groups were respectively introduced into the 2-position. Additive condensation of thiophenol with 3-bromothiachromone 1, 1-dioxide in the presence of alkali afforded 2-phenylthio-thiachromone 1, 1-dioxide. These facts indicate the double-bond characters of 2-position and it is concluded that the addition of a nucleophilic reagents is controlled by the α, β-unsaturated ketone system (-CO-CH=CH-) according to the difference in polarization of CO>SO

cis- and
trans-2-alkoxymethylene-3-alkoxypropionitrile (IV, V, and VI) but later examinations revealed that the substances obtained in this reaction were still impure. Further purifications showed that besides the
cis and
trans isomers of the foregoing nitriles, another isomer of low boiling point has been formed. This new isomer was found to have C=C bond from the Raman spectra although this point was not clear from its infrared spectrum. Ozonolysis of this isomer afforded formaldehyde, proving the presence of
endo-methylene group. Catalytic reduction resulted in the rapid absorption of one mole of hydrogen to form 2-dialkoxymethyl-propionitrile (X and XI). The latter was confirmed from its infrared spectrum and formation of 2, 5-dimethyl-4-aminopyrimidine (XII) by condensation with acetamidine. These experimental results have proved that the new-type isomer obtained by the foregoing reaction is 2-dialkoxymethyl-acrylonitrile (VII, VIII, and IX).

Formation of 2-dialkoxymethyl-acrylonitrile, formed together with 2-alkoxymethylene-3-alkoxypropionitrile by the alkylation of 2-sodioformyl-3-alkoxypropionitrile with dialkyl sulfate, was revealed to result by the catalytic effect of unreacted dialkyl sulfate on the 2-alkoxymethylene-3-alkoxypropionitrile first formed. This catalytic reaction is also effected, besides the dialkyl sulfate, by conc. sulfuric acid,
p-toluenesulfonic acid, H acid, and ammonium sulfonate. When a few drops of conc. sulfuric acid is added to 2-dialkoxymethyl-3-alkoxypropionitrile and this is submitted to low-pressure distillation at 100° and 30mm.Hg, alcohol liberates immediately to form 2-alkoxymethylene-3-alkoxypropionitrile, while elevation of the bath temperature to around 170° results in the formation of 2-dialkoxymethyl-acrylonitrile. It follows, therefore, that the choice of reaction conditions will easily afford 2-dialkoxymethyl-3-alkoxypropionitrile, 2-dialkoxymethylene-3-alkoxypropionitrile, or 2-dialkoxymethyl-acrylonitrile.

This compound was submitted to consecutive bromination, cyanation, and saponification to prepare 3-methylpicolinic acid. Condensation of 1-acyl-2-iminopropane with 3-ethoxyacrolein diethyl acetal gave 2-methyl-3-acylpyridine, which was reduced by the Wolff-Kishner method, derived to N-oxide, and submitted to the Boekelheide rearrangement. The acetoxymethyl derivatives so obtained were hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid, and oxidized with activated manganese oxide (Ball reaction). As in the first case mentioned, the 3-alkyl derivatives afforded 3-alkyl-2-pyridinealdehyde in better yield (54.6-62.3%) than that (45%) of non-substituted pyridines. Their mild oxidation gave the objective 3-alkylpicolinic acid with alkyl from methyl to pentyl. 5-Methylpicolinic acid was prepared from 2-methyl-5-ethylpyridine via 2, 5-lutidine but the yield from the Ball reaction was 37.7%, less than that from the 3-alkyl derivatives.

p-dioxin (diphenylene dioxide) structure show blue to bluish green coloration in sulfuric-nitric acid or conc. sulfuric acid solution when added with potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, potassium chlorate, or other oxidation agents. This reaction was discovered by Tomita more than 20 years ago and it was applied to the detection of dibenzo-
p-dioxin derivatives by paper chromatography in the present series of work.
2) Coloring reagent was an ethanolic solution of potassium nitrate followed by spraying of conc. sulfuric acid.
3) Paper chromatography was carried out on several dibenzo-
p-dioxin derivatives with ordinary and silicone-treated filter paper (Toyo Roshi No. 50), using various solvent systems. Results obtained are listed in Table I.
4) This coloration method can be applied to the paper chromatograpay of alkaloids possessing a dibenzo-
p-dioxin structure such as trilobine, isotrilobine, and menisarine.

Present series of experiments were carried out in order to obtain 4, 9-dimethoxydibenzo-
p-dioxin-2, 7-dicarboxylic acid (VI). The Ullmann reaction of the potassium salt of 5-bromovanillin in coal gas atmosphere, with “Natur Kupfer C” as a catalyst did not afford a substance giving positive reaction of dibenzo-
p-dioxin which should color blue to sulfuric and nitric acid mixture. The Ullmann reaction of the potassium salt of methyl 5-bromovanillate (IV) with the same catalyst afforded methyl 4, 9-dimethoxydibenzo-
p-dioxin-2, 7-dicarboxylate (V), m.p. 278°, whose hydrolysis finally gave the objective acid (VI) which crystallized from N, N-dimethylformamide as colorless needles, m.p. over 300°.

Optical resolution of
dl-N-methylcoclaurine was successfully effected with di-
p-toluoyl-
d-tartaric acid and -
l-tartaric acid as the resolution agents and in a mixed solvent of methanol and ethyl acetate. The optically active compounds thereby obtained are listed in Table I. Optical rotation of
d- and
l-N-methylcoclaurine differs greatly by the solvents used, as indicated in Table II.

Tertiary bases were obtained from the root of
Caulophyllum robustum MAXIM., which formed a picrate of yellow needles, m.p. 228-230° (decomp.), a styphnate (A) of pale yellow prisms, m.p. 201-203° (decomp.), and another styphnate (B) of yellow needles, m.p. 132-136°, all in small amounts. A large amount of an aporphine-type magnoflorine (I) was obtained as the water-soluble quaternary base but the plant did not contain any berberine-type quaternary base.

Growth inhibition
in vitro against human type tubercle bacilli H
37Rv was tested with alkyl and aryl esters of 4-succinyl-, 4-maleyl-, and 4-phthalyl-amidosalicylic acid. Alkyl esters, including the esters of
p-aminosalicylic acid, showed only a weak activity and comparison of bacteriostatic activity was difficult and aryl esters of
p-aminosalicylic acid were far stronger than the others.
p-Tolyl ester and
o-and
p-methoxyphenyl esters of 4-phthalylamidosalicylate showed growth inhibition 6.57-12.77 times that of
p-aminosalicylic acid when the ratio of molecular weights is taken into consideration.

As a model compound in which -SH group is bonded to asymmetric carbon atom through a methylene group, (+)- and (-)-2-dimethylamino-3-phenylpropanethiol were synthesized and asymmetric synthesis of methyl mandelate from phenylglyoxal was attempted, using the foregoing compound as the catalyst. It was thereby found that the asymmetric synthesis is possible and dextrorotatory product was obtained by the use of a levorotatory catalyst, but its yield was extremely poor.

The method of Brewster-Ciotti was applied to dibasic acids and monoamide and imide were obtained from phthalic, homophthalic, and succinic acids, indicating that the intermediates are intramolecular anhydride. The imide formed here is considered to have been produced by dehydration of the monoamide first formed by the byproduct benzenesulfonic acid and also by heating. The same reaction of glutaric and adipic acids afforded monoamide and diamide which indicates that the intermediates in this case are intermolecular anhydride.

Rabbit ears receiving irradiation of a single dose of X-rays above a certain limit undergoes delapidation (Fig. 1). Figs. 2 and 3 indicate effect from change of a few conditions. This irradiation delapidation was thought to be applicable for the test of drugs for preventing irradiation damage of the skin. Fig. 4 shows that sodium nitrite, as other compounds tested, was ineffective in preventing X-ray delapidation.
