Abstract
Condensation of
2-amino-2-imidazoline with α,β-unsaturated
esters yields an imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-7-one system whereas reaction with an
acetylenic ester or β-keto esters gives the corresponding unsaturated
imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one product. In some cases a non-cyclized product is
obtained under milder reaction conditions. Cyclization of ω- (imidazolin-2-ylamino)
acids yields fused bicyclic products for the acetic and propionic acid
derivatives whereas the butyric acid analogue cyclizes to yield an N-substituted
pyrrolidone. Representative examples of all these compounds do not show
mutagenic properties in a modified Ames test and are mainly inactive when
tested for central nervous system activity.

Abstract
Forty-three pyrimidine derivatives, mainly containing the 4-aminopyrimidine system, have been prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of deoxycytidine kinase. The most effective inhibitors were 2-alkylthio-4-aminopyrimidines and 1-alky-1-cytosines. The best inhibitors in both groups were those with large alkyl substituents, which indicate that hydrophobic bonding is occurring, possibly in the same area adjacent to the active site.

Abstract
Amidic hydroxamic acid and
dihydroxamic acid derivatives of maleic, phthalic, fumaric and succinic acids have been prepared and their properties and
reactions studied. In particular suitably oriented derivatives of these systems
have been investigated to ascertain whether they are capable of existing in, or
reacting through, various cyclol tautomers. Attempts to trap the cyclol
tautomers are described and these results, together with other indirect
chemical evidence as well as the spectral data, suggest that the cyclol
tautomer may be present in some cases, in contrast to the corresponding
diamides which do not show similar behaviour.

Abstract
The synthesis of
caprolactam derivatives substituted at C4, C5, C6 and C7 with alkyl, aryl, acyl
and hetero substituents is described. A variety of synthetic approaches to
these compounds have been investigated and assessed, particularly for the
synthesis of C4- and C6-substituted compounds. A significant number of the C4-,
C6- and C7- substituted compounds prepared show central nervous system
activity, ranging from convulsants to depressants depending on the position and
nature of the substituent group.

Abstract
The reactions of O-alkylarylhydroxamic
acids with a variety of alkylating agents, to yield mixtures of the N,O-dialkyl
and 0,O'-dialkyl products, are
described. Spectral data and independent synthesis allow the unambiguous
assignment of structure to these isomeric products. Substituents on the aryl
ring exert an electronic influence on the ratio of the two products; the extent
of this influence varies with the alkylating agent. Diazomethane, triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate
and methyl fluorosulphonate give largely, but not
exclusively, the 0,O'-dialkyl
product. Methyl fluorosulphonate, in the presence of
a base, reacts further to form an unstable salt which appears also to function
as an alkylating agent.

Abstract
The formation of
substituted 1-phenylnaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydrides from substituted
phenylpropiolic acids by carbodiimides is shown to be a general reaction and
proceeds in high yields under mild conditions. Heterocyclic acetylenic acids
also form analogous products in high yield. The reaction is confined to
α,β-acetylenic acids conjugated with an aromatic ring, as
alkylpropiolic acids form mixtures of alkylpropiolic anhydrides and N-acylureas
under the same conditions and esters of arylpropiolic acids do not react. The
effects of temperature, bases, and solvents on the reaction are described. Some
features of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the 1- phenylnaphthalene
products are discussed.

Abstract
The reaction between

produces the stable 1-azido-1,2,3-triphenylprop-1-ene
in good yield. The structure is confirmed by an alternative synthesis which

Abstract
O-Alkylhydroxamic acids are
readily acetylated, in high yield, under mild conditions. Aliphatic
O-alkylhydroxamic acids yield only one product, shown to be the N-acetyl
derivative. O-Alkylarylhydroxamic acids form both the O- and N- acetyl isomers;
the ratio of these isomers depends on electronic and steric effects.
Ultraviolet spectral data indicate that the salts of O-alkylarylhydroxamic
acids exist predominantly in the hydroximic acid form; however, it is not
possible to decide which is the acidic proton of the hydroxamic acid system.
The nature of the cation in the salts of O-alkylhydroxamic acids is important
in determining the site of acetylation.

Aryl hydroxamic acid

acid containing both styryl and benzyl substituents undergoes skeletal-rearrangement
of the type ABC → AC+B. The mass spectra of the O- and N-acetyl derivatives
of O- benzylhydroxamic acids are indistinguishable. M-CO2 fragments
are again observed in the mass spectra of several substituted phthalimides.

Abstract
The generality of the
formation of an N,O-diacylhydroxylamine from the oxidation of hydroxamic acids in an inert solvent is confirmed for an
extended range of oxidizing agents. Oxidation of o-alkylhydroxamic
acids with a variety of oxidizing agents yields an ester and small amounts of
the corresponding carboxylic acid. No evidence was obtained for an oxidative
intramolecular cyclization of an O-alkyl-hydroxamic
acid, in cases where this was possible, either in the presence or absence of
ultraviolet irradiation.

Abstract
Benzyl
5-formyl-3,4-dimethylpyrrole-2-carboxylate oxime (VI; R = COOCH2Ph)
has been reduced and treated with cupric acetate to yield copper
octamethylporphin in 20% yield. Copper octaethylporphin was obtained in similar
yield from 2-formyl-3,4-diethylpyrrole oxime (VII). The porphyrins are also
obtained, in much smaller yield, following acid-catalysed condensation; a by-
product formed under these latter conditions is probably a biladiene.
Attempts to prepare meso-substituted
porphyrins by similar treatment of the oximes of 2-acetyl- and
2-benzoyl-pyrroles were unsuccessful.
