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.

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.

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.

Condensation of 4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde with Meldrum's acid, and flash vacuum pyrolysis of the condensation product (12) gave in almost quantitative yield 7-methoxy-5-methyl-2-naphthol (9). This naphthol is a precursor of the title 1-carboxylic acid (6), an intercalating moiety of enediyne and other antibiotics.

The title compound, C40H22Cl2O4, was formed by a Michael–Aldol domino reaction sequence, which coupled acenaphthenequinone with 4-chloroacetophenone in the presence of KOH in methanol. The dihedral angles between the central cyclopenta[a]acenaphthylene fused-ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.066 Å) and the 4-chlorobenzoyl rings are 62.25 (10) and 70.19 (10)°. The dihedral angle between the central ring system and the naphthoic acid grouping is 62.46 (7)°. This twisting of the pendant rings facilitates the formation of an intramolecular aromatic π–π stacking interaction between the 4-chlorobenzoyl and naphthoic acid rings, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.4533 (16) and 3.5311 (16) Å, and a C—H...π interaction between one of the H atoms of the central moiety and the 4-chlorobenzoyl ring with an H...π distance of 2.57 Å. In the crystal, carboxylic acid inversion dimers generateR22(8) loops. The dimers are linked by weak C—H...O and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions, generating a three-dimensional architecture.

The reaction of nitrous acid with 1-aryl-2-(arylsulfonyl)ethanones3a–eafforded the unexpected arenecarboxylic acids12a–e, formic acid14, and benzene/4-toluenesulfinic acid15a,bthrough oxidative cleavage reaction. 4-Chlorobenzoic acid (12a), [1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid (12b), 2-naphthoic acid (12c), 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid (12d), and 2-benzofurancarboxylic acid (12e) were isolated in 72%, 62%, 55%, 58%, and 62% yields, respectively. The reported mechanistic pathways proposed the production of 1-aryl-2-(phenyl/tolylsulfonyl)ethane-1,2-dione7instead of arenecarboxylic acids12. A mechanistic pathway to explain the reaction of nitrous acid with 1-aryl-2-(arylsulfonyl)ethanones3a–ewas suggested. In this pathway, the intermediate 1,2-oxazete10lost benzene/4-toluenesulfinic acid15to produce 1,2-oxazet-3-one11. Ring cleavage of the latter intermediate afforded the arenecarboxylic acids12.

The isomeric mixture of the half-esters resulting from the Stobbe condensation of propiophenone with diethyl succinate is cyclized with stannic chloride as well as with sodium acetate in acetic anhydride. Cyclization of the ethyl half-ester chlorides with stannic chloride gives the keto-ester "4-carbethoxy-2-methyl-3-phenylcyclopent-2-enone." This on acid hydrolysis and decarboxylation yields 2-methyl-3-phenylcyclopent-2-enone, from which 2-methyl-3-phenylcyclopentanone is prepared by catalytic reduction. The keto-ester on Clemmensen reduction gives the corresponding unsaturated ester from which 3-methyl-2-phenylcyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid is obtained by catalytic hydrogenation and hydrolysis. 2-Methyl-3-phenylcyclopentanone and 3-methyl-2-phenylcyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid are of interest as intermediates for analogues of steroid hormones. From the latter 3-methyl-2-phenylcyclopentyl hydroxymethyl ketone and its acetate are prepared.Cyclization of the isomeric mixture of the ethyl half-esters with sodium acetate in acetic anhydride gives methyl 4-acetoxy-1-ethyl-2-naphthoate which is converted into 1-ethyl-4-methoxy-2-naphthoic acid.
