The kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of thiophenyl dimethylacetates (TDA) and trimethylacetates (TTA) with benzylamines in acetonitrile are studied. The reactions are first order in both the amine and the substrate. Relatively large values of ${\beta}X(\betanuc$ = 1.1-1.5; TDA and 1.1-1.5; TTA) and ${\beta}Z({\beta}lg$ = -1.8~-2.0; DTA and -1.3~-1.6; TTA) for benzylamines, significantly large kH/kD values (=1.2-1.5; DTA and 1.2-1.5; TTA) involving deuterated benzylamines, and large ${\rho}XZ$ (=0.82; TDA and 1.05; TTA) values are interpreted to indicate stepwise acyl transfer mechanism, but with the hydrogen bonded four center type transition state for benzylamine. The relatively greater magnitudes of ${\rho}XZ$ and the secondary kinetic isotope effects involving deuterated nucleophiles are in line with the proposed mechanism.

The aminolysis reactions of thiophenyl phenylacetates with benzylamines are investigated in acetonitrile at 55.0℃. Relatively large selectivity parameters, βx≒ 1.5, βz = -1.5~-1.8 and βxz = 0.92 together with the valid reactivity-selectivity principle are consistent with stepwise acyl transfer mechanism with rate limiting expulsion of the leaving group, thiophenolate anion, from the tetrahedral intermediate, T ± . The first order kinetics with respect to the benzylamine concentration and the realtively large secondary kinetic isotope effect (kH / kD = 1.2-1.7) involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles suggest a four center type transition state in which concurrent leaving group departure and proton transfer are involved.

Acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) 분해효소인 lactonase는 높은 기질 특이성을 지니기 때문에 경제적이고 효율적인 쿼럼 저해 기술로 이용될 가능성을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Chromobacterium violaceum CV026과 Agrobacterium tumefaciens NTL4를 바이오센서로 이용하여 biofouling이 일어난 역삼투막 시료로부터 쿼럼 센싱과 관련된 생물막 형성을 억제하는 6종의 균주를 분리 연구하였다. 분리된 균주는 모두 Bacillus 속으로 동정되었으며, AHL 분자의 acyl 사슬 길이나 치환 종류에 상관 없이 쿼럼 저해활성을 보여주었다. 균주들은 Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1에 의한 생물막 형성을 46.7-58.3% 정도 감소시켰으며 이 때 저해물질은 열처리에 민감한 특성을 보여주었다. 분리 균주 중 RO1S-5를 이용하여 N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C12 AHL)과 반응시킨 결과, 상응하는 acyl homoserine (3-oxo-C12-HS)이 생성되는 것을 LC-MS로 확인하여 쿼럼 저해가 lactonase 활성에 의한 것임을 규명하였다. AHL 물질에 대한 높은 특이성 등을 감안할 때 분리 균주 RO1S-5는 생물막 형성과 관련된 질병이나 산업공정 중 발생하는 biofouling을 해결하는데 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

To investigate the possible isosteric replacement of imidazolidinone moiety in 4-phenyl-1-arylsulfonylimidazolidinones (2) for broad and potent anti-cancer agents, a series of 5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl 1-(acyl)indoline-5-sulfonates (4) and 1-(1-(acyl)indolin-5-ylsulfonyl)-5-phenylpyrazolidin-3-ones (5) were prepared and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against six human cancer cell lines. Although the pyrazoles 4 or pyrazolidinones 5 showed relatively good activity, still they showed lesser activity in comparison to imidazolidinones 2. These activity decreases could be interpreted with the effect of change of the hydrogen bonding characteristics and the substitution pattern on structural variations of five membered rings from imidazolidinones 2 to pyrazoles 4 and pyrazolidinones 5, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that 4-phenyl-1-arylsulfonylimidazolidinone is a basic pharmacophore of imidazolidinones 2.

The kinetics of reactions between Z-aryl thiophene-2-carbodithioates and X-pyridines in acetonitrile at 60.0 $^{\circ}C$ have been investigated. The Bronsted plots obtained for the pyridinolysis of aryl thiophene-2-carbodithioates are curved, with the center of curvature at $pK_a$ ~ 5.2 ($pK_a^{\circ}$). The Bronsted plots for these nucleophilic reactions show a change in slope from a large ( ${\beta}_X{\cong}$0.78-0.87) to a small ( ${\beta}_X{\cong}$0.33-0.35) value, which can be attributed to a change in the rate-determining step from breakdown to formation of a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate in the reaction path as the basicity of the pyridine nucleophile increases. A clear-cut change in the crossinteraction constants, ${\rho}_{XZ}$, from +0.92 to -0.23 supports the proposed mechanistic change. The breakpoint at $pK_a$ = 5.2 for R = thiophene ring in the present work is in agreement with those for the pyridinolysis of R = Me and 2-furyl, and attests to the insignificant effects of acyl group, R, on the breakpoint.

Second-order rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of aryl substituted benzenesulfonates $(1,\;X-C_6H_4SO_2-OC_6H_4-Y)$ with aryloxides $(Z-C_6H_4O^{-})$ and ethoxide $(EtO^-)$ in absolute ethanol at $25^{circ}C$. The nucleophilicity of aryloxides increases with increasing electron donating ability of the substituent (Z) on aryloxides, and results in a good Hammett correlation with $\sigma^{-}$ constant. The reactivity of 1 toward aryloxides and ethoxide shows also significant dependence on the electronic nature of the substituent X and Y. Large positive ${\sigma}_{acyl}$ values have been obtained for the reaction of 1 with phenoxide and ethoxide, indicating that the leaving group departure is little advanced at the transition-state of the rate-determining step. This has been further supported from the fact that ${\sigma}^-$ constant gives extremely poor Hammett correlation, while ${\sigma}^0$ does reasonably good correlation for the reaction of 1 with ethoxide. Thus, the present sulfonyl-transfer reaction is proposed to proceed via a ratedetermining attack of nucleophile to the sulfur atom of 1 followed by a fast leaving group departure.

Rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of aryl substituted benzenesulfonates (3) with alkali metal ethoxides ($EtO^-M^+$) and butane-2,3-dione monoximates ($Ox^-M^+$) in ethanol at $25^{\circ}C$. The reactivity of the alkali metal ethoxides decreases in the order $EtO^-K^+> EtO^- > EtO^-Li^+$, indicating that $K^+$ ion behaves as a catalyst and $Li^+$ ion acts as an inhibitor for all the substrates studied. For the corresponding reactions of 3 with Ox^-M^+$, $Li^+$ ion also exhibits inhibitory effect for all the substrates, while, $K^+$ ion shows catalytic or inhibitory effects depending on the nature of substituents on the acyl and phenyl moieties. A study of substituent effect on rate has revealed that both EtO^- $and Ox^-$ systems have the same reaction mechanism. The different behavior shown by $K^+$ ion for the reaction of 3 with $EtO^-$ and $Ox^-$ would be attributed to a difference in charge polarization of S=O bond in the transition state between the two systems and/or a change in conformation of Ox^-K^+$.

Lithium cyanoaluminum hydride (LCAH) was prepared by the metal cation exchange reaction of sodium cyanoaluminum hydride with lithium chloride in tetrahydrofuran. The reducing characteristics of LCAH were explored systematically by the reaction with selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under the standardized conditions (tetrahydrofuran, 0 ${^{\circ}C}$). The reducing ability of LCAH was also compared with of the sodium derivative, sodium cyanoaluminum hydride (SCAH). Generally, the reducing behavior of LCAH resembles that of SCAH closely, but the reactivity of LCAH toward representative organic functional groups appeared to be stronger than that of SCAH. Thus, the regent reduces carbonyl compounds, epoxides, amides, nitriles, disulfides, carboxylic acids and their acyl derivatives to the corresponding alcohols or amines, at a relatively faster rate than that of SCAH. The cyano substitution, a strong election-withdrawing group, diminishes the reducing power of the parent metal aluminum hydrides and hence effects the alteration of their reducing characteristics.

Rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of alkali metal ethoxides with 4-nitrophenyl benzoate, S-4-nitrophenyl thiobenzoate and 4-nitrophenyl thionbenzoate in ethanol at 25$^{\circ}$C. Substitution of S for O in the leaving group has not affected reactivity significantly, while the effect of the similar replacement in the acyl group has led to rate decrease by a factor of 10, although pronounced rate enhancements have been expected for both systems. The replacement of O by a polarizable S has also influenced the reactivity of the esters toward alkali metal ethoxides, i.e. the reactivity decreases as the size of the metal ion decreases. The alkali metal ions have showed inhibition effect instead of catalytic effect which would have been expected for the present system. The effect of replaced sulfur atom on the reactivity for the present system is attributed to the nature of hard and soft acids and bases.
