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.

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.

A convenient synthesis of 4-substituted 2-(3-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-phenethylpropylcarbamoyl)pyrrolidine- 1-carboxylic acid benzyl esters 17 and 18 as new cysteine protease inhibitors is described. The synthetic key strategies involve the diazocarbonyl insertion reaction of N-Boc-L-homophenylalanine (1) by diazomethane, acetylation of the bromoketone 2 with sodium acetate, and condensation of acids 12, 14 with (3S)-3-amino-2-oxo-5-phenyl-pentyl acetate monohydrochloride (4) in good yield

Two general methods for α-carbalkoxymethylation of both enolizable and nonenolizable (towards the γ-position) α,β-unsaturated ketones have been developed. Method A involves three synthetic steps: photocycloaddition of the starting enone to 1,1-dimethoxyethylene, hydrolysis–oxidation of the adduct with acetic acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide, and O-alkylation of the resulting mixture of lactone and acid using anhydrous potassium carbonate and an alkyl iodide, e.g., 13 → 17 → 21 + 22 → 23. Method B differs from method A in the means of securing the required cyclobutanone intermediate. Thus, photocycloaddition of 13 to vinyl acetate followed by hydrolysis of the adduct gave two epimeric keto alcohols 39 whose oxidation with dimethyl sulfoxide and acetic anhydride afforded diketone 40. Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of 40 followed by methylation of the products 21 and 22 completed the overall α-carbomethoxymethylation process to give keto ester 23.

2-Amino-2-deoxyhexoses can be analyzed by gas–liquid partition chromatography of their 2-acet-amido-1,3,4,5,6-penta-O-acetyl-2-deoxyglycitol derivatives prepared by borohydride reduction of the aminoglycoses followed by acetylation of the resulting aminoglycitols with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate.
