A few t-amine substituted anilines and amides were synthesized and cyclized to pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole by heating in various solvents having different polarity. Subsequent nitration of cyclized compound followed by reduction and oxidation of resulting amine afforded quinone such as 7 in 14% yield. The formation of imidazole moiety by thermal cyclization was independent on the solvent polarity. The regiochemistry for the nitration of 4 was unambiguously determined by chemical transformation.

The oxidative potential of the fungus Penicillium brasilianum, a strain isolated as endophytic from a Meliaceae plant (Melia azedarach), was investigated using 1-indanone as substrate to track the production of monooxygenases. The fungus produced the dihydrocoumarin from 1-indanone with the classical Baeyer-Villiger reaction regiochemistry, and (-)-(R)-3-hydroxy-1-indanone with 78% ee. Minor compounds that had resulted from lipase and SAM activities were also detected. The biotransformation procedures were also applied using a collection of Penicillium and Aspergillus fungi obtained from M. azedarach and Murraya paniculata. The results showed that Baeyer-Villiger were mostly active in fungi isolated from M. azedarach. Almost all fungi tested produced 3-hydroxy-1-indanone.

알킬화제로 작용할 수 있는 naphthoquinones인 fibrostatin이 Streptomyces catanulae subsp. griseospora 배양액으로부터 추출되었다. 이들 quinone 화합물의 합성은 이 화합물들의 생물학적 반응성 연구에 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 효과적으로 치환체들의 위치를 조절할 수 있는 방법인 Hooker oxidation을 이용하여 fibrostatin B를 합성하였다.

meso-Functionalized dipyrromethanes 6-10 were synthesized by acid-catalyzed addition of pyrrole to ${\alpha}$-position of 2-alkenyl pyrroles. The regiochemistry of the reaction can be explained by either the formation of more stable carbocation intermediate or ${\beta}$-addition of ${\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The starting 2-alkenyl pyrroles were synthesized by Aldol condensation of 2-formylpyrrole with active methylene compounds such as nitromethane, diethylmalonate and malononitrile. Attempted ‘2+2' condensation of meso-diethylmalonyldipyrromethane, meso-(p-tolyl)dipyrromethane and p-tolualdehyde afforded three different porphyrins 12, 13 and 14 in reasonable yields. On the other hand, meso-(nitromethyl)dipyrromethane with p-(tbutyl) benzaldehyde resulted in the formation of three different porphyrins such as 5,15-dicyano-10,20-diarylporphyrin (16), 5-cyano-15-formyl-10,20-diarylporphyrin (17) and 5,15-diformyl-10,20-diarylporphyrin (18) in low yields. Conversion of nitromethyl groups to nitrile and (or) formyl group was observed under the porphyrin forming conditions.
