Biotransformation of monocillin I (1) by Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159 was investigated. Two new derivatives 2 and 3 were isolated and identified on the basis of the spectroscopic data. Compounds 2 and 3 are synthesized by hydration at 10,11-double bond and hydrolysis of 14,15-epoxide, respectively. The R configuration of 11-OH in 2 was established by the modified 2-methoxy-2-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid (MTPA) method. The conversion of 1 to 2 and 3 was reconstituted in an acid solution, indicating that the formation of 2 and 3 is an acid-catalyzed instead of an enzymatic process.

Methyl 4-O-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl) and methyl 4-O-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside and their 6-O-isomers were prepared as model substances for the ether lignin-saccharide bond by reductive cleavage of corresponding 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives. Kinetic study of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the compounds prepared was carried out by spectrophotometric determination of the benzyl alcoholic groups set free, after their reaction with quinonemonochloroimide, and it showed the low stability of the p-hydroxybenzyl ether bond.

The rates of reaction of halide ions with ethylene oxide in neutral aqueous solution and the rate of hydrolysis of ethylene oxide in acid solution have been measured and the activation energies determined. From these data and from the ratio of glycol to chlorohydrin formed when ethylene oxide reacts with excess aqueous hydrogen halide, the rates of the acid-catalyzed addition of halide ions to ethylene oxide at 25 °C. have been estimated.

The reaction of trans-bromotetracarbonyl(phenylcarbyne)chromium (1) with lithium phenylselenolate and subsequent protonation with aqueous hydrochloric acid leads to (CO)5Cr[Se2(C6H5)2] (3) and (CO)4Cr(μ-SeC6H5)2Cr(CO)4 (4). From 1 and lithium 4-methylphenylthiolate (CO)5CrC(C6H5)SC6H4CH3 (5) and (CO)5CrS(C2H5)(4-CH3C6H4) (6) are obtained, if triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is used instead of hydrochloric acid. The analoguous reaction of 1 with lithium phenylselenolate yields the seleno ether complex (7). Reaction conditions, properties, spectroscopic data and the results of an X-ray structure determination of the binuclear complex (4) are reported.

The structure determination of thiomelin (2,4-dichloro-1,8-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-6-methyl-9H-xanthen-9-one) (3), an unusual lichen metabolite probably derived biosynthetically by oxidative ring opening of a precursor anthraquinone, is reported. The crystal structure of thiomelin diacetate (4) was determined by X-ray diffraction, while that of the cogenors 8-O-methylthiomelin (5), 4-dechlorothiomelin (7), 4-dechloro-8- O- methylthiomelin (9), 2-dechloro-8- O- methylthiomelin (10) and 2,4-dichloro-l-hydroxy-7-methoxy-6,8-dimethyl-9H-xanthen-9-one (12) were deduced from spectroscopic data.

Juvenile hormone (JH), which occurs in several forms in different insects, is one of the most important insect hormones. The structure of JH in Heteroptera has not been elucidated until recently, although insects in this suborder have long been used as experimental animals for JH research. Here we review the structure determination of a novel JH in a stink bug,Plautia stali, which was named juvenile hormone III skipped bisepoxide [JHSB3: methyl (2R,3S,10R)-2,3;10,11-bisepoxyfarnesoate], based on the arrangement of two epoxides at C2,3 and C10,11 with a skipped double bond at C6,7.

1. The use of HF as a dephosphorylating reagent for phospholipids was examined. 2. Hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine at 0°C for 24h with 60% HF gives a good yield of diglyceride. Under similar conditions phosphatidyldiglucosyl diglyceride gives diglyceride and diglucosyl diglyceride. 3. The glycolipid is also obtained from hydrolysis of glycerylphosphoryldiglucosyl diglyceride. No lyso derivative of the glycolipid could be detected and the glycosidic linkage was also stable. 4. Triglycerides, unsaturated and cyclopropane fatty acids were unaffected by the reagent. 5. 1,2-Diglycerides and 1,3-diglycerides were partially isomerized and also gave small amounts of free fatty acid and monoglyceride. 6. Monoglycerides underwent extensive rearrangement to form 1,2- and 1,3-diglycerides. 7. Lysophosphatidylethanolamine also gave 1,2- and 1,3-diglycerides as well as monoglycerides. 8. The application of this procedure to the structure determination of various phosphoglycolipids is discussed.

The title compound was prepared by condensation of pyrrole and diphenylacetaldehyde in 16% yield. Based on spectroscopic data, the free base porphyrin exhibits a nonplanar macrocycle in solution with a degree of distortion between that of 5,10,15,20-tetracyclohexylporphyrin and 5,10,15,20-tetra(t-butyl)porphyrin. A crystal structure determination of the cobalt(II) complex reveals a ruffled macrocycle conformation with an average out-of-plane displacement of the meso carbon atoms by 0.55 Å.
