A new diarylethene compound with donor and acceptor substituent was synthesized from 2,3-bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-3-yl)hexafluorocyclopentene (BTF) over 5 steps. The donor-acceptor structured BTF compound (TBTFE) showed spectral change to a longer wavelength through photochromism with a high cyclization quantum yield (0.56). The 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (T) and carboethoxy (E) groups directly connected to BTF unit promoted electrical change accompanied with the photoisomerization of the BTF unit. Photo-induced electrical switching was achieved from a photocell containing TBTFE doped polymer film, which showed reversible and stable current change over repeated cycles by the alternative UV/Vis irradiation, as estimated by the I-V plot.

Tetracyclic pyrido[2,3-b]azepine derivatives 4a-d and 4f as analogues of mirtazapine were synthesized via N-acyliminium ion cyclization by using aromatic rings such as benzene and thiophene ring as a ${\pi}-nucleophile$, and evaluated for the binding affinity for ${\alpha}2-adrenoceptor$. Among tested compounds, 2,3,9,13b-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[f]pyrrolo[2,1-a]pyrido[2,3-c]azepine (4a) was the most potent (Ki = 0.26 ${\mu}M)$ but showed about 3-fold less binding affinity than mirtazapine (Ki = 0.08 ${\mu}M)$ for a2-adrenoceptor.

A study has been made about some correlations in the chemical cyclization of precursors, poly(ether-amide-amic acid)s by treating in solution a mixture of acetic anhydride and pyridine in the presence of 4,4-dimethyl formamide, with the poly(ether-amic acid)s being respectively reacted between trimellitic anhydride chloride and 3 kinds of diamines, i.e., 4,4'-bis(m-aminophenoxy) benzophenone, 2,2'-bis[4-(m-aminophenoxy) phenyl] propane and 4,4'-bis(m-aminophenoxy) diphenyl sulfone. The cyclization of imide ring in the poly(ether-amide-amic acid)s may be regarded as an intramolecular acylation of amide group by o-carboxyl group. As a result of this reseach, the effects on the conversion to poly(ether-amide-imide)s have been found by changing the ratio of cosolvents in the cyclization mixture.

The cyclization reaction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N'-phenylthioureas 2 containingambident nucleophile was ex-amined in the combination of a variety ofbases and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (TsCl).N-(2-Hydroxyeth-yl) thioureas 2 were readily obtained in high yields from the reaction of the corresponding 1,2-aminoalcohols with phenyl isothiocyanate, avoiding the need for O-protection.The use of a one-pot reaction (NaOH/TsCl) was found to be most effective in producing the requisite 2-phenylaminothiazolines (S-cyclization) 3 in the case ofthioureas 2a-2e derived from N-unsubstituted aminoalcohols,while in the thioureas 2f and 2g prepared from N-substituted aminoalcohols the combination of Et3N and TsCl led to the S-cyclization products.

The stereochemistry of N-acyliminium cyclizations to form decahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-3(2H)-ones was studied. Particular attention was paid to the stereocontrol by an acetoxy group present on pyrrolidone ring. Two of the three new chiral centers were formed stereospecifically, and the third was controlled by elimination-hydrogenation sequence.

New film forming aromatic poly(amide-imide)s containing isoindoloquinazolinedione (IQ) unit in the backbone chain (polymer XIV) have been successfully synthesized by preparing prepolymers of poly(amic acid-carbonamide). followed by subsequent thermal cyclization of the prepolymers. 4,4-Diamino-3-carbamoylbenzanilide (DACB) V has been synthesized by reduction of 3-carbamoyl-4-amino-4-nitrobenzanilide IV. The prepolymers of poly(amic-acid-carbonamide) (polymers VII and VIII) which exhibit viscosities ranging from 1.4 to 1.7 dl/g have been prepared by a condensation polymerization of monomers such as BPDA, ODA, and DACB. Polymer XIV has been obtained by thermal cyclization of the polymers VII and VIII. During the thermal cyclization reaction, imide ring structure was first introduced and then transformed to the structure of IQ unit. The thermal degradation rate of the resultant polymers were influenced by the cleavage of amide bond but the final char yield was comparable to that of poly(BPDA-ODA).

The transition metal-induced in situ generation of carbene complexes from alkynes having a carbonyl or imino group as a nucleophilic functionality has been investigated. These reactive carbenoid species are generated with high atom efficiency through a 6-endo-dig cyclization mode based on the electrocyclization of vinylidene complexes or a 5-exo-dig cyclization mode in π-alkyne complexes, and have been found to serve as versatile intermediates in catalytic carbene transfer reactions. Highlighted and reviewed in this account are the generation and preparation of pyranylidene, furylcarbene, pyrrolylcarbene, and vinylcarbene complexes and their application to [3,3]sigmatropic rearrangement of acylcyclopropylvinylidenes, catalytic cyclopropanation reactions, [2,3]sigmatropic rearrangement or condensation reactions via ylides, ring-opening and substitution reactions with heteroaromatic compounds, and catalytic isomerization of oligoynes.
