This work investigates the carbonation of KOH-dissolved methanol and ethanol solution systems carried out for $CO_2$ fixation. Potassium methyl carbonate (PMC) and potassium ethyl carbonate (PEC) were synthesized during the reaction in each solution as the solid powder, and they were characterized in detail. The amount of $CO_2$ chemically absorbed to produce the PMC and PEC precipitates were calculated to be 97.90% and 99.58% of their theoretical values, respectively. In addition, a substantial amount of $CO_2$ was physically absorbed in the solution during the carbonation. PMC precipitates were consisted of the pure PMC and $KHCO_3$ with the weight ratio of 5:5, respectively. PEC precipitates were also mixture of the pure PEC and $KHCO_3$ with the weight ratio of 8:2, respectively. When these two precipitates were dissolved in excess water, methanol and ethanol were regenerated remaining solid $KHCO_3$ in the solutions. Therefore, the process has the potential to be one of the efficient options of CCS and CCU technologies.

In a converting reaction of $p-bromo-\alpha-diethylaminoacetophenone$ (1a) and $p-bromo-\alpha-piperidinoacetophenone$ (1b) with KCN and $(NH_4)_2CO_3$, to hydantoin, the expected 5-(p-bromophenyl)-5-diethylaminomethylhydantion (2a) and 5-(p-bromophenyl)-5-piperidinomethylhydantoin (2b) were not formed. Diethylaminomethyl group and piperidinomethyl group were eliminated and p,p'-dibromodiphenylhydantil (4), which might be formed through dimerization of 5-(bromophenyl)-hydantoin (3), and p-bromobenzoic acid (5), which was formed through a degradation of 5-(bromophenyl)-hydantoin, were obtained. In the case of $p-bromo-\alpha-morpholinoacetophenone$ (1c), the expected 5-(p-bromophenyl)-5-morpholinomethylhydantoin (2c) was formed.

The facile route of preparing S-2-(${\omega}$-aminoalkylamino) ethyl dihydrogen phosphorothioates, potential chemical radioprotectants, have been studied. Intermediate 3-(2-phthalimidoethyl)-2-oxazolidinone was prepared by a reaction of potassium phthalimide and 3-(2-bromoethyl)-2-oxazolidinone, which was obtained through the alkaline ring closure of a mixture of carbonate and 2,2'-dibromo diethylamine prepared from diethanolamine. This was converted to N-[2-(2-bromoethylamino)ethyl] phthalimide hydrobromide by 30% HBr(gas) in acetic acid and N-(2-bromoethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine dihydrobromide was obtained by reacting the hydrobromide with a solution of HBr-HOAc. N-(2-bromoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine dihydrobromide could be prepared through the Cortese treatment of 2-(3-aminopropylamino) ethanol, which was prepared by a reaction of 1,3-diaminopropane and 2-chloroethanol. These dihydrobromides were treated by sodium thiophosphate in DMF to result S-2-(${\omega}$-aminoalkylamino) ethyl dihydrogen phosphorothioates. The characteristics of each reaction path were discussed in regards to reaction conditions and overall yields and a facile route of preparing each derivative was proposed.

The higher order structure of Pseudomonas alcaligenes 5S rRNA has been investigated by using ($\eta^{6}$-mesitylene) manganese (Ⅰ) tricarbonyl hexafluorophosphate[MTH-Mn (Ⅰ)], dimethylpyrocarbonate, potassium permanganate as chemical probes. The sequences cleaved strongly by MTH-Mn (Ⅰ) on the tertiary structure of the 5S rRNA are $G_{12}AUGG_{16}$ of loop a, $G_{51}AAGUGAAGC_{60}$ of the region b-C, $U_{65}-AGCG_{69}$. of the region B-a, and $G_{72}AUGG_{76}$ of loop d. Based on such cleavage patterns of 5S rRNA by MTH-Mn(Ⅰ) and other chemical probes, we presume that the sequences strongly cleaved form pocket-like structure as in the the corner of L structure of $tRNA^{Phe}$. We also presume that the region b-C and loop d together play a role of hinge in forming the pocket-like structure in the 5S rRNA.
