In water, undissociated opianic acid exists as an equilibrium mixture containing c. 30% of lactol form (Ia) in equilibrium with open-chain form (IIa); the carboxyl group is therefore a stronger acid by c. 0.5 pK units than the measured value (pK 3.06 � 0.03) indicates. Opianic acid N-methyl oxime exists largely as the classical nitrone carboxylic acid (IIIa) in water, and is slightly weaker (pK 2.6-2.7) than opianic acid. Both compounds exist largely as cyclic forms, (Ia) and (IV), respectively, in chloroform.

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core structure was studied in seven rough strains of Proteus and 26 smooth strains belonging to various Proteus O-serogroups. All LPSs share a common heptasaccharide fragment, which includes two Kdo, three Hep, one Glc, and one GalA residue. Core structures differ between strains and within each strain in the presence of a variety of additional monosaccharides and non-sugar substituents. In many strains, the LPS includes a cyclic acetal of GalNAc in the open-chain form, which builds up a new type of linkage between monosaccharides. The covalent linkage of aliphatic polyamines, e.g. putrescine and spermidine, to the LPS was confirmed for the first time and the location of the amines at the carboxyl group of a GalA residue established. Analyses revealed peculiar features of the core structure, which are characteristic of P. mirabilis on one hand and P. vulgaris and P. penneri on the other hand.

The infrared and Raman spectra of trans-Δ3-penten-2-one have been measured over the temperature range +30° to −75° and +85° to +5° respectively. The temperature-dependent changes observed in the spectra indicate that this ketone exists as an equilibrium mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformational isomers in the liquid state. The s-trans form is the more stable and is present exclusively in the crystalline solid.Similar measurements have been carried out on Δ3-buten-2-one. The infrared and Raman spectra of this ketone also exhibit temperature effects that can be explained by a similar equilibrium, though the evidence is not as conclusive as for trans-Δ3-penten-2-one.The influence of alkyl substitution at the α- and β-carbon atoms on the relative stability of the s-cis and s-trans forms of α,β-unsaturated ketones is discussed.

In the title compound, C10H7N3O4·H2O, one carboxyl group is deprotonated and the pyridyl group is protonated. The inner salt molecule has a planar structure, apart from the carboxylic acid group, which is tilted from the imidazole plane by a small dihedral angle of 7.3 (3)°.

Treatment of methyl hydrogen decahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a,8a-dicarboxylate with lead tetraacetate in benzene – acetic acid replaces the carboxyl group by an acetoxy group. Hydrolysis of this product with 25% sulfuric acid at 130 °C forms 8a-hydroxydecahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a-carboxylic acid 10. The reaction between 10 and benzenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine containing triethylamine at 95 °C produces anti-sesquinorbornene 1 in 34% yield. In the absence of triethylamine 1 is converted to the hydrochloride. The iodohydroperoxide of 1 is converted by silver acetate at 0 °C to the diketone in a luminescent reaction. The 1,2-dioxetane could not be isolated. Decahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,exo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a,8a-dicarboxylic anhydride is converted slowly by methoxide ion in methanol at 150 °C to the monomethyl ester which then undergoes demethylation. The isomeric exo,endo anhydride undergoes reaction readily with methoxide ion at 80 °C.

The relative acidities of fifteen 4- and 5-substituted salicylic acids were determined in benzene solution by potentiometric titration. The potentials at half neutralization (h.n.p.) relative to that of salicylic acid were considered to measure the acidities of the substituted acids relative to the parent acid. These potentials, designated by Δhnp, gave a significantly better correlation with Hammett's sigma constants in an equation of the form proposed by Jaffe, Δhnp = ρ1σ1 + ρ2σ2, than in a simple Hammett equation, Δhnp = ρ1σ1. In these equations the subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the position of a substituent relative to the carboxyl group and to the phenolic group respectively. The value of ρ2/ρ1 was found to be 0.4, indicating that the electronic effect of a substituent on the acid strength via the phenolic hydrogen-bonded path is almost half as large as the direct effect through the carboxyl group. These results, together with the fact that in aqueous solution there is very little if any transmission via the phenolic group, are discussed in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of salicylic acids in benzene and in water.

For azoverdin, the siderophore of Azomonas macrocytogenes ATCC 12334, a pyoverdintype structure has been suggested. We now present evidence that it is actually an isopyoverdin. Also the sequence of the peptide chain has to be revised. Azoverdin comprises, therefore, the chromophore (3S)-5-amino-1,2-dihydro-8,9-dihydroxy-3H -pyrimido[1,2a]quinoline- 3-carboxylic acid whose amino group is bound to a succinamide residue while the carboxyl group is attached to the N -terminus of L-Hse-[2-(R-1-amino-3-hydroxypropyl)-3,4,5,6- tetrahydropyrimidine-65-carboxylic acid]-N5-acetyl-N5,-hydroxy-ᴅ-Orn-ᴅ-Ser-N5-acetyl-N5- hydroxy-ʟ-Orn. In addition to azoverdin congeners with succinic acid (azoverdin A ) and with ʟ-Glu (azoverdin G ), resp., instead of the succinamide side chain could be isolated.

The racemization of N-methylamino-acid derivatives in aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrogen bromide in anhydrous acetic acid and other solvents has been investigated by determining the products of the reaction with an amino-acid analyzer after deprotection. Whereas MeIle-OMe, Z-MeIle, and the N-unmethylated derivatives were only slightly racemized ( <2%), Z-MeIle-OMe (18–24%), Z-Ala-MeLeu-OMe (22%), and Z-Ala-MeLeu-OBu′ (7%) were appreciably racemized by aqueous sodium hydroxide. It is suggested that these derivatives racemize because of the absence of an > N—H or carboxyl group whose ionization would suppress ionization of the neighboring α-C—H bond. Z-Melle and Z-Ala-MeLeu were substantially racemized (68% in 4 h and 34% in 1 h, respectively) by 5.6 N hydrogen bromide in acetic acid. The extent of racemization by acid varied with acid strength, polarity of solvent, and time. Incorporation of label into both isomers of Ala-MeLeu from a solution of the tritiated reagent established that ionization at the α-C—H bond had occurred. No racemization was caused by aqueous acid or by hydrogen chloride.
