A study of the nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, and ultraviolet spectra showed that some doubly and triply ortho-substituted diphenyl ethers adopt, principally but not exclusively, the "H-inside" conformation, while the quadruply ortho-substituted 7-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′,6′-dinitrophenoxy)metameconine (V) adopts the "methoxy-inside"conformation. Interconversion of conformational isomers is extremely fast. Reduction of methyl 4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzoate with tin and hydrochloric acid gave methyl 3-amino-2-chloro-4-methoxybenzoate.

A series of 1-aryl substituted 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines) were synthesized by cyclization of tryptamine with a number of substituted benzaldehydes in the presence of hydrochloric acid. Four modifications of reaction conditions were found necessary in order to obtain the desired products containing a variety of substituents on the 1-aryl group. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the products enabled definitive assignment of structure.
