The reduction of several o,o'-dihydroxyazo-compounds is studied by means of pulse polarographic techniques (DPP, NPP and RPP). The compounds studied are the following: 2-(2'-hydroxyphenylazo)-phenol (o,o'-dihydroxyazobenzene), 1-(2'-hydroxy-1'-naphthylazo)-2-naphthol-4-sulphonic acid (calcon or Eriochrome Blue Black R), 1-(2'-hydroxy-4'-sulpho-1'-naphthylazo)-2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid (calcon carboxylic acid), and 1-(1'-hydroxy-2'-naphthylazo)-6-nitro-2-naphthol-4-sulphonic acid (Eriochrome Black T). Correlations between Ip and Epand experimental variables (pH, T, conc.) and instrumental parameters (dropping time, t, and pulse magnitude, ΔE) are established. Reaction mechanisms formerly proposed are discussed on the basis of the new obtained results, and the ranges are defined where adsorption and/or acid-base catalysis are operative.

The title compounds, 6-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one, C13H8N2O3S, (1), and 6-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-3-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one, C14H10N2O3S, (2), were synthesized when a chromone-3-carboxylic acid, activated with (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinylphosphonium hexafluoridophosphate (PyBOP), was reacted with a primary heteromamine. Instead of the expected amidation, the unusual title thiazolopyrimidine-5-one derivatives were obtained serendipitously and a mechanism of formation is proposed. Both compounds present an intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, which generates anS(6) ring. The dihedral angles between the heterocyclic moiety and the 2-hydroxybenzoyl ring are 55.22 (5) and 46.83 (6)° for (1) and (2), respectively. In the crystals, the molecules are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions.

Carboxylic acids are exhaustively C-methylated to t-butyl compounds by excess trimethylaluminium at c. 120�. Benzoic acid for example, gives t-butylbenzene. Similarly methylated are o-fluoro-, o-bromo-, and m-chloro-benzoic acids, 5-chloro-3-phenylsalicylic acid, 1-naphthoic acid, palmitic, oleic and undec-10-enoic acids. Adamantane-1-carboxylic acid gives mostly l-isopropenyladaman- tane, along with some 1-t-butyladamantane. Cinnamic acid gives mainly the allylically rearranged 2-methyl-4-phenylpent-2-ene. Triphenylacetic acid behaves atypically; 1,1,1-triphenylpropan-2-one and 3,3,3-triphenylpropyne result.

We report the analysis of DNA adducts formed from aristolactams I and II, which are the final metabolites derived from carcinogenic aristolochic acids in vivo, after their oxidation by microsomal cytochrome P-450 and horseradish peroxidase in vitro. DNA adducts were detected and quantified using the nuclease P1-enhanced variation of the 32P-postlabeling assay. Quantitative analysis revelead that the extent of modification of DNA by aristolactams activated by peroxidase was more than one order of magnitude higher than for activation by microsomal cytochrome P-450. Peroxidase catalyzes the formation of active oxygen in the presence of NADH, H2O2 and aristolactams. Aristolactams are also oxidized by mammalian peroxidase prostaglandin H synthase. The possible role of aristolactams in carcinogenesis induced by aristolochic acid is discussed.

The method of Crowley and Robinson (5) for the synthesis of 6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2-naphthoic acid has been modified to provide an improved and general method for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2-naphthoic acids. The 7-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2-naphthoic acid and its ethyl ester have been shown to react with butadiene and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene to give 3-methoxy-5,8,9,10,13,14-hexahydrophenanthrene-14-carboxylic acid and its 6,7-dimethyl derivative. The relationship of these hydrophenanthrenes to possible degradation products of morphine and metathebainone has been discussed. An unsuccessful attempt was made to lengthen the C14-chain by converting the carboxyl group to an aldehyde group by the Rosenmund method followed by condensation with malonic acid. The projected conversion failed in the first stage.
