The cyclobutane forming photocycloaddition reaction of 5(E)-styryl-1,3-dimethyluracil with some olefins occurs on the 5,6-double bond of uracil ring rather than the expected central double bond via an intermediate, probably the photochemical Diels-Alder type adduct. This intermediate formed on short term irradiation of 5(E)-styryl-1,3-dimethyluracil and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene solution is converted into the $C_4$-cycloadduct on the prolonged irradiation. Quantum yield of the intermediate formation is not linear with the concentration of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene probably due to the secondary reaction accompanied with the complex reaction kinetics. The intermediate is formed from the lowest excited singlet state.

Recently it was reported that cycloaddition of 6,6-disubstituted cyclohexa-2,4-dienone, 1 with cyclopentadiene gave solely the adduct of type 1.while its reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene gave both Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Semiempirical MO calculations were done to elucidate the origin of the selectivity difference between the two dienes. Cycloaddition of 1 with cyclopentadiene is controlled thermodynamically to give only 1-diene adduct by ΔGvalues of 10.6-20.3 kcal/mol, while its reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene does not show 1-diene/1-dienophile selectivity due to similar stabilities of the two adducts. Thermodynamic parameters also show that 두애 adducts are more fabourably fromed in the cycloadditions of 1 with both cyclopentadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene, which coincides with experimental observations. Cope rearrangements of endo adducts are another avenue to convert between 1-diene and 1-dienophile.

오디(Morus alba L.) 를 실온에서 80 % MeOH 수용액으로 추출하고 이 추출물을 EtOAc, n-butyl alcohol, 그리고 물 분획으로 나누었다. EtOAc 분획에 대하여 $SiO_2$ 및 ODS column chromatography를 반복 실시하여 2종의 Diels-Alder 부가화합물을 분리, 정제하였다. NMR, IR 및 ESI/MS data를 해석하여, 화합물 1과 2를 mulberrofuran E와 chalcomoracin 으로 각각 구조동정 하였다. 두 화합물 모두 오디로부터는 이번 실험에서 처음으로 분리되었다.

Three Diels-Alder type adducts, guangsangon E (1), chalcomoracin (2) and sorocein I (3) were isolated from hairy root cultures of Morus macroura. The structures of the isolated compounds (1-3) were determined by spectroscopic method (NMR and MS), and spectral comparison to literature. Cytotoxic activities of the isolated compounds (1 - 3) were investigated against P-388 murine leukemia cell line. Guangsangon E (1) showed the most potent cytotoxicity against P-388 murine leukemia cell line with $IC_{50}$ value of $2.75{\pm}0.32{\mu}g/mL$. To the best of our knowledge, guangsangon E (1) and sorocein I (3) were reported for the first time from the tissue cultures of M. macroura.

The Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions of anthrone with a variety of ethylenic substrates under various conditions have been studied. It has been observed that depending on kinds of ethylenic substrates and catalysts, products were varied. In particular, the $ZnCl_2$-catalyzed reaction of anthrone with ${\alpha},{\beta}$ -unsaturated ester gave bridged compounds 3 (Diels-Alder adduct type) and mono-Michael adduct 4 exclusively, while the base-catalyzed reaction gave 10,10-bis-Michael adduct as a major product independent of the amount of ethylenic substrate and base. Bridged compounds 3 were easily converted to the corresponding mono-Michael adduct 4 by a catalytic amount of base. Further Michael reaction of mono-Michael adducts with different ethylenic substrates in the presence of a catalytic amount of alkoxide gave unsymmetrical 10,10-bis Michael adducts in good or moderate yields.
