a series of new hexahydroquinoline and 1,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives were synthesized. condensation of 2-methyl- thiazole-4-carboxaldehyde (1) with 1,3-cyclohexanedione and alkyl 3- aminocrotonate afforded 4-(2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-hexahydroquinoline while condensation of aldehyde (1) with benzoyl acetone and thiourea gave 1,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives. the stereochemistry of 1,4-dihydr...

Irradiation of &methyl spiro [2.5] oct-7-en-4-one through its singlet excited state resulted in the formation of 4-methyl spirO [2.5] oct-4-en -6-one. We have used the cyclopropyl moiety in the molecule as a probe to study the operating mechanism in the photochemistry of ?, ?-unsaturated compounds. The results showed that this photoisomerization probably occurs through a concerted process.

The low temperature photochemical decomposition of 3- chloro-croton aldehyde tosylhydrazone sodium salt in tetrahydrofuran results in the formation of 3- chloro- 3- methyl cyclopropene and 5- chloro- 5- methyl- pyrazolenine respectively. In the presence of moisture, the photohydrated compound 3 was obtained as one of the products

A systematic study on the electrochemical behavior of the S-derivatives of 2-amino cyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid (ACDA) has been carried out in aqueous ethanolic solutions by means of polarography, coulometry and voltammetry. All the compounds studied exhibited a well defined anodic wave corresponding to a diffusion controlled process. Controlled potential coulometry gave n=1 per mol...

The reaction of readily available 1 -methyl-4-nitropyrrole-2- carboxylic acid (1) with thionyl chloride afforded the corresponding acyl chloride 2. The reaction of compound 2 with thiosemicarbazides yielded 1-(1 -methyl-4-nitrop yrrole-2-carbony1)- thiosemicarbazides (3) which cyclized in basic medium to 5-(1-methyl-4-nitropyrrole- 2-y1)-2,4-dihydro-3H- l,2,4-triazole-3- thione 4. Alkylatio...
