Reactions of Acetoxyacetylacetone with Methyl p-Substituted Benzoates

Hydrolysis of Several Substituted Methyl Benzoates in the Aqueous Solution

-The hydrolysis of several ring substituted methyl benzoates was investigated in aqueous solution over a pH range of 3-10. Both the pH dependence (at pH > 5) and the variation of hydrolysis rates with ring substitution are consistent with a mechanism involving the addition of hydroxide ion to the ester carbonyl group. Extrapolation of the rate data to a pH and temperature that would be consiste...

Reductive Heck reactions of N-methyl-substituted tricyclic imides.

The palladium-catalyzed hydroarylation of N-methyl-substituted tricyclic imides was studied in order to find a new stereoselective access to a series of new exo-aryl(hetaryl)-substituted tricyclic N-methylimides.

1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of N-methyl-substituted tricyclic imides.

The [3+2] cycloadditions of N-methyl derivatives of unsaturated imides with various nitrile oxides to yield new bridged isoxazoline derivatives with potential biological activity is described.

Ethyl 4–[2–(Substituted Benzyl)hexyloxy]benzoates: Anti–Juvenile Hormone Agents with Juvenile Hormone Activity

We have recently discovered ethyl 4–(2–benzylhexyloxy)benzoate (KF–13) as a novel anti–juvenile hormone (anti–JH) agent (Furuta et al., 2007). This compound induced precocious metamorphosis in larvae of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, a clear sign of JH deficiency, and its activity could be completely counteracted by the simultaneous application of methoprene, a JH agonist. Although KF–13 induced ob...
