Melicopine, melicopidine, and melicopicine are each oxidized by nitric acid to the same acid, C11H9O3N. Decarboxylation gives 1-methyl-4-quinolone (I) and the acid is shown to be 1-methyl-4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid (II). The 3- and 6- mononitro-, 3,6-dinitro-, and 2-hydroxy-3,6-dinitro- derivatives of 1-methyl-4-quinolone have been prepared and the orientation of the substituents established by oxidation of the hydroxydinitro- compound to 5-nitro-N-methylanthranilic acid. 1-Methy1-4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid is readily converted to a tetrahydro- derivative. The carboxyl groups in II and in the tetrahydro- acid are reduced by zinc and hydrochloric acid to methyl groups.

The behavior of N-benzoylaspartic acid and N-benzoylglutamic acid has been investigated at 100° in dilute solution in water and aqueous hydrochloric acid within the pH range 3.1–0.5. Some data are presented concerning the hydrolysis of the N-benzoyl derivatives of alanine, β-alanine, leucine, glycine, serine, and β-ethanolamine in water, 0.1 N hydrochloric acid, and 2 N hydrochloric acid. Benzoylglutamic acid undergoes a pH-independent conversion into pyrrolid-2-one-5-carboxylic acid, which then hydrolyses in mineral acid to glutamic acid; however, N-benzoylaspartic acid, under similar conditions, hydrolyses much more rapidly by a route which does not involve the corresponding lactam as an intermediate. In anhydrous alcohols the solvolysis of N-benzoylaspartic acid gives mixtures of aspartic acid and the β ester.First-order rate constants have been obtained for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of pyrrolid-2-one-5-carboxylic acid (I) and azetidin-2-one-4-carboxylic acid (II) in water over this pH range.

The dependence of the distribution ratio of the metal on the concentration of hydrochloric of nitric acid was examined for Fe, Co, Ni and Cu extraction with 0.05M solution of dibenzylsulfoxide in toluene. Iron is extracted considerably more than the other metals, and is better extracted from hydrochloric acid than from nitric acid. The separation factor αFe/M (for 8M-HCl) is of the order of 104; this is not sufficient for a separation of trace quantities of iron from Co, Ni and Cu, but even at lower concentrations of HCl (e.g., 5M) the values is high enough for extraction chromatographic separation. The composition of the iron solvate extracted from HCl or LiCl medium was determined to be HFeCl4.2 B (B = dibenzyl sulfoxide).

Bacterial infections, especially those caused by strains resistant to commonly used antibiotics and chemotherapeutics, are still a current threat to public health. Therefore, the search for new molecules with potential antimicrobial activity is an important research goal. In this article, we present the synthesis and evaluation of the in vitro antimicrobial activity of a series of 15 new derivatives of 4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxylic acid. The potential antimicrobial effect of the new compounds was observed mainly against Gram-positive bacteria. Compound 15, with the 5-nitro-2-furoyl moiety, showed the highest bioactivity: minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 1.95–15.62 µg/mL and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)/MIC = 1–4 µg/mL.

An analytical method is described for the determination of microgram amounts of silver in galena ores, based on the "reversion" of silver dithizonate. Silver is separated from relatively large amounts of lead by extraction as dithizonate into chloroform from an aqueous 1:99 nitric acid solution. Separation from mercury, which is also extracted under these conditions and would, if present, interfere in the analysis, is achieved by reverting the dithizonate solution with a 5% aqueous sodium chloride solution which is also 0.015 molar in hydrochloric acid. Following dilution of this aqueous solution and adjustment of pH, silver is again extracted into chloroform as the dithizonate, and determined absorptiometrically. Analyses of a number of galena ore samples showed a precision of within 3% for a silver content ranging from 0.03 to 0.4%.Some other methods for isolating silver from these samples, which were tried but found unsatisfactory, are discussed.
