The effect of ferric ion on the reaction of CH_3$MgI with benzylbromide was investigated by determining the product ratio between cross-coupling product, ethylbenzene (A) and homocoupling product, bibenzyl (B) in the presence of ferric ion. When CH_3$MgI prepared with pure magnesium was used, the ratio of A to B was 22 to 78 and with reagent grade magnesium, the ratio became 33 to 67 indicating that metallic impurities in magnesium affect the reaction mechanism to lead less homocoupling product, B. The ratio changes became significant when ferric chloride was added in the reaction mixture in catalytic amounts and the ratio of A to B reached to 80 to 20 at maximum. The reaction in the presence of ferric ion seems to follow mainly an ionic mechanism which involves iron-benzyl bromide ${\pi}$-complex formation. The complex formation is expected to be able to enhance ionic attack of CH_3$MgI on benzyl carbon to give more A.

This paper describes a synthetic route to novel 2'-methyl and 4'-hydroxy carbocyclic nucleosides. The methyl group was successfully installed by carbonyl addition reaction of isopropenyl magnesium bromide followed by ring-closing metathesis and the hydroxy group was directly introduced from carbohydrate chiral template "D-lactose".ose".uot;.

HEMA/vinyl-substituted polyphosphazene was prepared by the ring-opening polymerization of phosphonitrillic chroride trimer at $200{\sim}300\;{^{\circ}C}$, followed by Grignard reaction with vinyl magnesium bromide and then by the reaction with HEMA(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate). HEMA/vinyl-substituted polyphosphazene was copolymerized with EGDMA(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate; used as a cross-linker for the free-radical copolymerization), NVP (N-vinyl-pyrrolidone) in the presence of AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) as a radical initiator. The oxygen transmissibility, water content and visible-ray transmissibility of the resulting copolymer were measured to be Dk/t 88, 30.89% and 87%, respectively, indicating that the copolymer can be used as a good contact lens material.

The novel oligomers were synthesized by Grignard reaction, the suzuki coupling reaction, etc. The oligomers were characterized by Infrared (IR), Mass spectrometer (MS). Their thermal properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The new oligomers showed high thermal stability above $300^{\circ}C$.

Synthesis of north-5'-methylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl adenine and hypoxanthine nucleosides with an ethenyl group at C3' position was successfully achieved by a highly facile method. Methylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexanone (${\pm}$)-7 with three contiguous chiral centers and its epimer (${\pm}$)-6 was remarkably simply constructed only by four steps involving a carbenoid insertion reaction in the presence of rhodium (II) acetate dimer as a metal catalyst, giving a correct relative stereochemistry of the generated three chiral centers. Due to steric hindrance from the concave face of the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanone system, a Grignard reaction of (${\pm}$)-7 with ethenylmagnesium bromide showed exclusive diastereoselectivity towards the b-face. The Grignard reaction chemoselectively proceeded without reacting with ester functionality. Coupling reaction of glycosyl donor (${\pm}$)-11 with 6-chloropurine nucleobase afforded only the desired $N^9$-alkylated nucleoside without the formation of $N^7$-regioisomer. By the conventional method, 6-chloro group was converted into 6-amino and 6-hydroxy groups to give the desired adenine and hypoxanthine bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl carbanucleosides with 3'-ethenyl group, respectively.

The synthesis of common skeleton of podosporin A and aureol was studied through cationic olefin cyclization as a key step. The generation of thermodynamic silyl enol ether or enol acetate under known conditions gave regioselectivity of 88:12. The enolate alkylation of 2,3-dimethylcyclohexanone with 2,5-dimethoxybenzyl bromide at the more substituted site via lithium enolate gave poor yield. In this case an organozincate or an ammonium enolate also proved to be ineffective or not practical in terms of yield. Side chain elongation of the substituted cyclohexanone 13 through Grignard reaction, Wittig reaction, or Shappiro reaction did not proceed because of steric hindrance and side reactions. However, Stille coupling reaction via enol triflate produced the desired product 18 in high yield. The advanced intermediate 22, which was efficiently synthesized from 18, produced 24 instead of the desired product under a cationic olefin cyclization condition, indicating that the cyclization occurred in a stepwise mannervia the organomercury intermediate 23.

The 3-formyl-2-cephem 4, available from 7-aminocephalosporanic acid has been converted to C-3 vinylic cephems. The reactions involved are the Grignard addition to 4, the conversion of the resulting alcohols to mesylates, and the elimination of the mesyl group by LiCl. When ethylmagnesium iodide is used, only 3-[(E)-1-propenyl] cephem is obtained, which is not easily available by conventional Wittig reaction.

In this study; a series of 2',4'-doubly branched carbocyclic nucleosides (8,9,10) were synthesized from simple acyclic ketone derivative as starting material. The installation of the 4'-quaternary carbon needed was carried out using a 〔3,3〕-sigmatropic rearrangement. In addition, the introduction of a methyl group in the 2'-position was accomplished by Grig-nard reaction. Bis-vinyl was successfully cyclized using a Grubbs' catalyst II. The natural bases (adenine, cytosine, uracil) were efficiently coupled with the use of a Pd(0) catalyst. Although all the synthesized compounds were assayed against several viruses, only cytosine analogue 9 showed weak antiviral viral activity (EC$_{50}$=45.4 $\mu$M) against CoxB3 virus.s.
