During examination of controlled potential electrolytic reduction of pyridoxal oxime, its I-E curve was examined and a characteristic curve showing a maximum was obtained. This fact suggested that it would be possible to effect different electrolytic reactions by selecting the cathode potential suitably. Controlled potential electrolysis was carried out with the cathode potential at -0.8 and -1.4 V vs. S.C.E., and it was found that pyridoxamine dihydrochloride and 4-deoxypyridoxine hydrochloride were formed respectively in approximately quantitative yield. Constant-current electrolytic reduction of pyridoxal oxime at a higher current density than that already reported was found to give 4-deoxypyridoxine hydrochloride in approximately quantitative yield. This product was also obtained almost quantitatively by constant-current electrolytic reduction of pyridoxine and pyridoxal, and the route of this electrolytic reaction was presumed.

Interaction between carcinogenic 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) and thiamine has been investigated. When required, we used a model compound which contained a thiazolium or a pyrimidine as part of the thaimine molecule and we found out that either molecular complexation or substitution reaction between 4-NQO and thiamine took place in acid or alkaline region, respectively. The difference spectra of acid mixtures of 4-NQO and thiamine exhibited an absorption maximum in the vicinity of 400 mμ. Spectrophotometric examinations were made on the effects of pH and polarity of solvents upon the complex formation, the molar ratio (1 : 1) and ε, K, and ΔH values of the complex. It was found that the interaction was best explainable in terms of n-π type charge transfer between thiamine and 4-NQO, wherein the pyrimidine moiety of the former acts as electron donor and the latter as electron acceptor. The substitution reaction between 4-NQO and thiamine in alkaline solution was exhibited by the appearance of a new absorption band around 360 mμ region of the spectrum of the mixture as well as by the liberation of nitrite ion from the reaction mixture. Quantitative examination was made on the nitrite ion liberation reaction, and the involvement of thiol group of thiamine and nitro group of 4-NQO was presumed. A chemical structure is proposed for the reaction product, which was separated by paper chromatography. Non-carcinogenic 4-nitropyridine 1-oxide also formed a molecular complex with thiamine in acid medium, but it gave no detectable reaction with the vitamin in alkaline medium.

Studies have been carried on the syntheses of 1-cyclohexyl derivatives of uracil, 5-bromouracil, thymine, cytosine, 4-thiouracil, and 2, 4-dithiouracil. 1-Cyclohexyluracil (V) was synthesized through dehydrogenation of 1-cyclohexyl-5, 6-dihydrouracil (III) which was obtained by treating ethyl N-cyclohexyl-β-alaninate with potassium cyanate in acid medium. 1-Cyclohexyl-5-bromouracil (VII) was prepared by dehydrobromination of 5, 5-dibromo derivative of III. 1-Cyclohexylthymine (XII) was synthesized by dehydrogenation of 1-cyclohexyl-5, 6-dihydrothymine (X) obtained through cyclization of methyl N-cyclohexyl-β-aminoisobutylate (IX). Thiation of V gave 1-cyclohexyl-4-thiouracil (XIII), which was treated further with alcoholic ammonia in a sealed tube to yield 1-cyclohexylcytosine (XIV). XIII was also obtained by dehydrogenation of 1-cyclohexyl-5, 6-dihydrothiouracil (XVI) derived from III. We describe then the ultraviolet spectrophotometric properties of 1-cyclohexylsubstituted pyrimidines thus obtained.

III was also synthesized from chlorinated compound of II, 3-dialkylamino-1-(o-aminophenoxy)-2-chloropropane hydrochloride, when it was warmed with dilate alkaline solution. This ring formation can be applied to synthesizing 4-alkyl-3-dialkylaminomethyl-, (or 3-alkoxy-)3, 4-dihydro-2H-1, 4-benzoxazine from the corresponding phenoxy-propanold erivatives. 3-Substituted-3, 4-dihydro-2H-1, 4-benzothiazine was also synthesized by the same reaction from 3-dialkylamino-1-(o-aminophenylthio)-2- propanol with a satisfactory yield. 3-Dialkylamino-1-(o-aminophenoxy)-2-propanone obtained from II, when closed, afforded 3-dialkylamino-2H-benzoxazine. This compound, after being hydrogenated, was identified with III.

Solubility of magnesium hydrogen l-aspartate was examined. This salt is very easily soluble in water but hardly dissolves in organic solvents. In a mixture of water and organic solvents miscible with water, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, and acetone, the salt distributes between the two layers, forming a dilute solution of the salt in the upper layer and a concentrated solution in the lower layer. The solubility of the slat in the upper layer increases exponentially with the molar fraction of water in the upper layer and the solubility is not affected by temperature. Analysis was carried out on the propanol-water-aspartate system in the upper and lower layers, three-componental phase diagram was prepared, and the Plait point, at which the upper and lower layers agreed, was calculated. It was also found that the exponential function established between the solubility in the upper layer and molar fraction of water thereof is also applicable to the lower layer.

In the course of an investigation on the structure of enmein (I), isolated from Isodon trichocarpus, five well-characterized products (IV-VIII) were obtained by pyrolysis of bisdehydrodihydroenmein (II). In the present paper, synthesis of two (V and VI) of those compounds which obviously originated from ring A of compound (II) is reported. The former compound, 6-hydroxy-7-methylphthalide (V), was prepared in the following way. Chloromethylation of m-methoxybenzoic acid under the forcing conditions gave a mixture of compounds consisting of X, XI, and XII which were separated by fractional crystallization. Hydrogenation of XI followed by treatment with hydriodic acid yielded V, identical with one of the pyrolysis products mentioned above. The latter compound (VI) was synthesized by two alternative methods. First, compound (XXII) was treated with thionyl chloride to give XXIII which was then subjected to bromination, followed by sodium borohydride reduction, giving XXXI. The resulting XXXI was subsequently dehydrobrominated to give XXXII, which on oxidation, followed by C-methylation, gave a compound which was identical with VI. The other method used to produce VI involves first the addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to butadiene. The resulting diester (XLVII) was converted to the anhydride (XLVIII) and then reduced with lithium aluminum hydride, giving XLIX. Treatment of this with NBS yielded LII which was debrominated by treatment with Raney Ni. The resulting hydroxy-lactone (LIII) was oxidized and then C-dimethylated to yield VI.

Whereas in acid region the polarographic waves of N-oxide groups were characteristic of diffusion as well as kinetic currents, in alkaline region they were characteristic exclusively of kinetic current, and it was presumed that at lower pH-values N-oxide group is reduced in its protonated form. In acid media, 1-oxides of I, II, and III exhibited double waves, the first of which being attributable to reduction of N-oxide groups and the second to that of the pyrazine nucleus (production of 1, 4-dihydro compounds). Reduction of the two N-oxide groups of 1, 4-dioxide of I proceeded simultaneously. In the case of 1-oxides of IV and V' N-oxide group and pyrazine nucleus were reduced simultaneously ; V was reduced further to piperazine compound. The cause of the different polarographic reductivities of IV and V was ascribed to a difference in their tautomeric forms. The first wave of 1-oxide of VI was attributable to reduction of the N-oxide group, and the second wave to reduction which involves hydrogenation of the nitrogen atoms of the ring and, at the same time, detachment of the chloro radical from the ring. The detachment of chlorine was confirmed further through controlled-potential electrolysis. The proposed sequences of reduction were given in charts.

19F signals of these compounds were rather broadened by
14N quadrupolar relaxation. The NMR signals of 2-position fluorines occurred in lower magnetic field (for I-V, δ=-20.05--31.97 ppm) than those of 4-or 6-position fluorines (for VI-XVIII, δ=-0.50-21.79ppm). Discussion was made on the influence of substituents on the 2- as well as 4(6)-fluorine chemical shifts. It was revealed that substituent effects were expressed more markedly in the
19F NMR spectra than in the
1H NMR spectra of the corresponding non-fluorinated compounds. Smaller spin-spin coupling constants were obtained for J
4(6)F-
5H (I, II, VIII, IX, and XII, J=1.3-3.3 cps) than for J
2F-
5H(IV, J=4.7 cps). An approximate parallelism was found to exist between
19F chemical shifts and electron densities at the carbon atoms adjacent to fluorines.

Isoquinoline derivatives were classified into five types according to the substituents at 1-position and the relationship between chemical structures and toxicities was investigated. LD
50 tended to become lower with increasing degrees of hydrogenation of the isoquinoline ring. In 1-alkyl substituted isoquinoline derivatives LD
50 became higher as the number of carbon branches of the 1-alkyl residue increased. Pathological changes were caused by almost all 1-alkyl substituted compounds, especially the ones possessing a tertiary alkyl residue at 1-position. In the cases of 1-aryl and 1-aralkyl substituted compounds, the swelling of liver depended on the simultaneous presence of the methylenedioxy residues at 3', 4'-position of the terminal phenyl residue of the 1-substituent and at 6, 7-position of the isoquinoline ring. However, no pathological change was observed with 1-(2-methylbutyl)-3-methyl-6, 7-methylenedioxyisoquinoline·HCl (B-15) and 1-neopentyl-3-methyl-6, 7-methylenedioxyisoquinoline·HCl (B-33). These compounds showed marked inhibitory action on the experimental tumors as described in a previous paper. From the above observation, it was suggested that the compounds possessing a methylene residue between 1-carbon of the isoquinoline ring and a secondary-or tertiary-alkyl residue in the 1-alkyl substituent would have an anti-tumor activity and little side effect.

(1) 2-Hydroxymethylene-3-oxosteroids (5a, b) were oxidized with ozone and then with hydrogen peroxide to obtain 2, 3-secosteroid-2, 3-dioic acids (6a, b). By heating with acetic anhydride, the hydroxyl groups in the seco acids (6a, b) were protected as the acetates, and the dicarboxylic groups were changed to acid anhydrides (7a, b) simultaneously. The anhydrides (7a, b) were heated and pyrolysed at 160-180° (bath temperature : 180-240°). When a more higher temperature was used, various side reactions occurred and the yield was minimized. (2) 2, 3-Secosteroid-2, 3-dioic acids (6a, b) were esterified by diazomethane or 1-2% hydrogen chloride in methanol.

Saponification products (16a, b) were decarboxylated by heating in acetic acid or acetic anhydride to produce 2-oxo-A-norsteroids (1a, b or 8a, b) in excellent yields. The characteristics of the second synthetic route were as follows : purification of the intermediates was not necessary and the purity of the end products was very high.

Aqueous extract of the air-dried leaves and branches of Quercus stenophylla MAKINO (Japanes name "Urajirogashi") formed a precipitate on addition of lead acetate and from this precipitate, ellagic acid, succinic acid, catechol, pyrogallol, gallic acid, 3, 3'-di-O-methylellagic acid, quercetin, kaempferol, β-D-glucogallin, and isoquercitrin were isolated and identified. Examination of tannin in this plant showed that the so-called 'Urajirogashi' tannin is a hydrolysable tannin and consists of ellagitannin and gallotannin.

Separation of some Aconitum alkaloids by gas chromatography of trimethylsilyl ethers were attempted successively. The stationary liquid phases used were SE-30 (3%), OV-1 (5%), OV-17 (3%), and XE-60(3%). Retention times and chromatograms are shown in Table I and Figure 1 and 2 respectively. With a OV-17 column, kobusine and pseudo-kobusine were not well separated, and with a XE-60 column, in addition, benzoylaconine was not detected. The better chromatograms were obtained using a non-polar column (SE-30 or OV-1).

From the petr. ether extracts of the air-dried leaves and branches of Quercus stenophylla MAKINO (Japanese name "Urajirogashi"), n-paraffins, friedelin (I), epi-friederanol (II), friedelanol (III) and taraxerol (IV) were isolated by column chromatography on silicagel, and were identified. In addition, the components of n-paraffins were investigated by gas chromatography, and were confirmed to contain pentacosane (V) (3%), heptacosane (VI) (40%), nonacosane (VII) (28%) and hentriacontane (VIII) (20%).
