An efficient synthesis of 5-chloro-3-[4-(3-diethylaminopropoxy)benzoyl]-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzofuran (8), a potent $\beta$-amyloid aggregation inhibitor, is described. 5-Chloro-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzofuran (3) was obtained by the one-pot synthesis of 4-chlorophenol with $\omega$(methylsulfinyl)-p-methoxyacetophenone (1) under Pummerer reaction conditions, and it was followed by the desulfurization of the resultant 5-chloro-3-methylthio-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzofuran (2e). Acylation of benzofuran 3 with 4-(3-bromopropoxy)benzoyl chloride (6) gave the ketone 7, which was converted into compound 8 by the treatment of diethylamine.

A synthesis of new 2-phenylimino-1,3-thiazolines 2 for the purpose of development of new agrochemical fuugicide was described. Reaction of chlorine with diketene followed by treatment of benzylamine without isolation of intermediate 8a gave ${\gamma}-chloro-{\beta}-keto$ benzylamide 10a. Thioureas 4 obtained from the reaction of methyl isothiocyanate with aniline derivatives were subjected to 10a in acetone solution to afford the corresponding 2-phenylimino-1,3-thiazoline hydrochloric acid salts 2 through unisolable inltermediates 11 and 12. The plausible reaction mechanism including nucleophilic attack of sulfur assisted neighboring nitrogen lone pair electron on phenyl of thiourea 4 was discussed.

Reaction of carbonyl compounds with diisopinocampheylhaloboranes (Ipc2BX,X=Cl, Br, I) was investigated in detail in order to establish their usefulness as selective reducing agents. The reagents reduced aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding alcohols. The reactivities are in the order of Ipc2BCl Ipc2BBr>Ipc2BI.The reagents also reduced ${\alpha}{\beta}-unsaturated$, aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding allylic alcohols without any detectable 1,4-reduction. Especially, the chloro derivative nicely achieved the selective reduction of aldehyde or ketone groups in the presence of many other functional groups. The most remarkable result of this investigation is that aldehydes and ketones can be selectively reduced in the presence of acid chlorides.
