Avobenzone (4-tert-butyl-4?-methoxydibenzoylmethane) is one of the most widely used UVA filters in cosmetic sunscreens. Reactivity of avobenzone is complex and challenging to understand, due to a presence of transient tautomers. In this contribution we study chelated enol, rotamer and keto tautomers of a reduced model of avobenzone which are involved in keto-enol tautomerization. Two thermal tautomerization mechanisms are postulated and their transient structures are discussed. The computed vertical and adiabatic electronic excitation energies of tautomers provide an additional insight into excited state properties of the tautomers.

Accurate calculations of standard molar enthalpies of formation (ΔΗf°)m(g) and carbon-halogen bond dissociation enthalpies, BDE, of a variety of halomethanes with relevance on several atmospheric chemical processes and particularly to ozone destruction, were performed in the gas phase at 298.15 K. The (ΔΗf°)m(g) of the radicals formed through bond dissociations have also been computed. Ab initio computational methods and isodesmic reaction schemes were used. It is found that for the large majority of these species, the gold standard method of quantum chemistry (CCSD(T)) and even MP2 are capable to predict enthalpy values nearing chemical accuracy provided that isodesmic reaction schemes are used. New estimates for standard molar enthalpies of formation and BDE are suggested including for species that to our knowledge there are no experimental (ΔΗf°)m(g) (CHCl2Br, CHBr2Cl, CHBrCl, CHICl, CHIBr) or BDE values (CHCl2Br, CHBr2Cl, CHBrCl, CHICl, CHIBr) available in the literature. The method and calculational procedures presented may profitably be used to obtain accurate (ΔΗf°)m(g) and BDE values for these species.

CNDO-Cl calculations of triplet-triplet excitation energies on fluorene, carbazole and their monobenzologues are in good agreement with the results from triplet-triplet absorption measurements. An assignment of the observed triplet data is given. It is shown that the quantum-chemical treatment should be useful in cases where the experimental data are difficult to obtain.

3,6-Dinitro-1,8-naphthyridine and its 2-substituted derivatives are dehydro-methylaminated with the solution of potassium permanganate in liquid methylamine (LMA–PP) to the corresponding mono- or mono- and bis(methylamino)-3,6-dinitro-1,8-naphthyridines. In the case of 2-chloro- and 2-methoxy-3,6-dinitro-1,8-naphthyridine the replacement of chloro and methoxy substituents by the NHCH3 group occurs as well. Quantum-chemical calculations indicate the reactions to be controlled by the interaction of the frontal molecular orbitals (FMO) of the reagents. Moreover the heats of formation of intermediary methylamino-σ-adducts and transition states are calculated for the reaction studied. The calculations show satisfactory agreement between calculated and observed results. A convenient synthesis of some 2-substituted-3,6-dinitro-1,8-naphthyridines is reported.Key words: methylaminations, calculations PM3, nitro-1,8-naphthyridines, oxidation.
