CNDO/2 calculations have been carried out on methyl chloro-thiol-, methyl chloro-thiono-, and methyl chloro-dithio-formates. Results show that the trans is the stable configuration for these compounds. It was found that sulfur atom has much less tendency to use its lone pair electrons for ${\pi}$ bond formation compared with oxygen, and that thiolformates are stabilized by hyperconjugation of methyl hydrogens. The order of solvolytic reactivity was found to follow the order of cation stability, which is consistent with the $S_N1$ mechanism proposed for these compounds.

Deodorizing activity of polyphenol cxidase (PPO) extracted from apples was investigated by measuring the changes of methyl mercaptan as an indicator of halitosis in human mouths. In the studies of apple extracts on deodorizing activity, the deodorizing activity was increased with the amount of apple extracts. In the cases of adding PPO to the low molecular fraction of apple extracts, the deodorizing activities were increased with the amount of the law molecular fraction of apple extracts and the reaction time of the extracts with PPO. Deodorizing activities of PPO is thought that o-quinone as an intermidiate produced by an oxidative reaction of PPO during enzymatic browning reactions may react with methyl mercaptan to form a non-volatile and sulfur-containing compound .

The decreased preservative effect by tale and $TiO_2$ for emulsions obtained with polyoxyethylene surfactant was studied by various analytical methods and biological test. The preservative effect of methyl p-hydroxybenzoate was decreased by the addition of talc and $TiO_2$ and this result was attributed to the adsorption of methyl p-hydroxybenzoate on them. Talc exhibited more decreased preservative effect than that of $TiO_2$. The amount of the adsorption of methyl p-phydroxybenzoate by talc at $20^{\circ}C$ could be represented by the following equation; $a=11.511C^{0.747}$.

The MNDO calculations were performed on the various rotamers of N-methyl formamide, N,N-dimethyl formamide, N-methyl acetamide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide in order to investigate the contribution of the one-electron and the steric effect on their rotational barriers about the C-N bond. Results show that while the conformational stabilities of formamides depend mainly on the one-electron factor, those of acetamides depend mainly on the steric factor. According to results obtained by calculations on the rotational barriers about C-N bond, for N-monosubstituted amides the steric effect is larger in the rotational ground state than in the transition state and for N,N-disubstituted amides the steric effect is larger in the rotational transition state.

For the binary system of methanol/3-methyl-1-butanol mixture vapor-liquid equilibrium data were measured isothermally at 50, 55, 60, 65, and $70^{\circ}C$. An empirical relation to predict vapor-liquid equilibrium data was obtained from the above measured data. The predicted values compared with the measured ones were in a good agreement, within accuracy ${\pm}0.0007$. The excess molar volume, measured for the binary system of methanol/3-methyl-1-butanol mixture, was positive $V^Eover$ the entire composition range. The maximum values were shown to be about $0.096cm^3/mol$ at x= 0.683.

A facile one-pot synthesis of p-aminobenzoic acid from methyl 4-formylbenzoate which is a main by product in dimethyl terephthalate production process has been developed. This process involves the formation of amide intermediate obtained from the reaction of an aldehyde in methyl 4-formylbenzoate with chlorine in methylene chloride and the subsequent treatment of acid chloride with ammonia. The resulting amide was converted into amine using Hofmann degradation to afford a p-aminobenzoic acid. This facile one-pot process does not involve any expensive materials and should offer an attractive alternative to p-aminobenzoic acid production.

This study determined hepatic microsomal lipid peroxide values glucose 6-phosphatase NA-DPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and cytosolic glutathione S-transferase activites to examine the effects of methyl group deficiency on hepatic lipid peroxidation in rats treated with diethylni-trosamine(DEN) and 2-acetylamionfluorene(AAF) Weanling sprague Dawley male rats were fed the diet with methyl group supplemented or deficient. Two weeks after feeding rate were injected with a single of 200mg/kg body weight DEN intraperitoneally and after four weeks 0.02% AAF containing diets were fed for two weeks. Animals were sacrificed at 6th week. Microsomal lipid peroxide values were tended to increase in methyl group deficiency(MD). Especially in case of carcinogen tratments lipid peroxide values were increased significantly in MD. Microsomal glucose 6-phophatase activities were decreased by MD and carcinogens and in MD with carcinogen group (MD+C) the enzyme activites were the lowest Glucose 6-phosphatase activities were negatively correlated with lipid peroxidation. Microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase activities were the highest in MD+C and correlated positively with lipid peroxidation. Cytosolic glutathione S-transferase activities were the highest in MD+C Methyl group deficiency induces lipid peroxidation especially in case of being exposed to carcinogens. Therefore the results suggest that lipid peroxidation may be one of the meachanisms of carcinogensis by methyl group deficiency.

The utilization of methyl 2-aminobenzoate as a biocide and pesticide has raised concerns regarding its potential toxicity. To assess its safety, it is crucial to determine its quantity and related toxicity using reference materials (RMs) or certified reference materials (CRMs). As an RM and CRM containing methyl 2-aminobenzoate within a biocidal product matrix is currently unavailable, this study aimed to produce a high-quality RM containing methyl 2-aminobenzoate, ensuring its homogeneity and stability, following the ISO Guide 35 and ISO 17034. The study determined that the produced RM exhibited homogeneity, as indicated by a calculated F-value (1.91) smaller than the critical F-value (3.02). In the assessment of isochronous short-term stability, the slope of the linear regression for the RM showed no statistically significant difference from zero when stored at temperatures of 4, 18, and 60 ℃ for 4 weeks. Regarding classical long-term stability, the RM demonstrated sustained stability over the course of one year when stored at 4 ℃. This study has successfully developed an RM for monitoring methyl 2-aminobenzoate in biocides and pesticides. Its quality underwent rigorous evaluation, confirming both homogeneity and stability.
