The article is devoted to the study of some hi-and tricyclic derivatives of aziridine as materials lot newindicators of ionizing radiation. To create high sensitive materials some aspects of photo induced ring opening processes in aziridine derivatives in ethanol solutions and in polymeric matrix were studied and two steps character of the processes investigated was established. Two types of radioindicators were suggested and preliminary tested. The new way of synthesis of radiochromic derivatives of aziridine was developed and series of target compounds synthesized.

Aziridine derivatives were utilized for the formation of aziridine N-oxides at low temperature, which were subject to easy decomposition and/or rearrangement like the protonated aziridines at room temperature. t-Butyl nitroso compound formed by the decomposition of N-oxide is easily characterized by its blue color and it is the major product in case that no branched alkyl groups are substituted on the carbon atoms of the aziridine ring and the stationary groups on the nitrogen are inert to rearrange the oxide such as the t-butyl group. The oxidative rearrangement products, however, are mainly formed when the substituents are methyl or ethyl group on the carbon atoms. It is interesting to see that the sigmatropic rearrangement of 2-ethyl aziridine gave only cis olefinic compound selectively in case that t-butyl group was substituted on the nitrogen, whereas N-hydroxy aziridine compounds were formed exclusively when t-butyl group was replaced with ethyl group.

Ten new derivatives of 1,3-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-enes linked via ether linkage to chalcones were synthesized and characterized by UV, FT-IR, $^1H$ NMR and $^{13}C$ NMR spectral techniques. The spectra of all synthesized compounds, confirmed structure-photochromic behavior relationships (SPBR) both in solution or in solid state by irradiation under UV light at 254 nm. In other efforts for first time photochromic behavior of ketoaziridines has been investigated.

1H NMR spectra of D2O solutions containing 2,2-dimethylaziridine (1) or 2-methylaziridine (2) and [SiW11COⅡO39]6- (SiW11Co) or [SiW11NiⅡO39]6- (SiW11Ni) exhibit separate signals for the free ligand and the complex, indicating that the ligand exchange is slow on the NMR time scale. Identified are two linkage isomers with the methyl group of 2 at trans or cis position with respect to the metal. The isotropic shifts of 1 and 2 coordinated to SiW11Ni originate mainly from the contact shifts, and they agree reasonably with the relative values reported for similar ligands coordinated to bis(2,4-pentanedionato)nickel(Ⅱ). The isotropic shifts for the SiW11Co complexes were separated into contact and pseudocontact contributions. The pseudocontact shifts show that (χ∥-χ⊥) is positive, while that for the SiW11Co complexes of pyridine derivatives is negative. This result indicates that the ordering of dxy and dxz, dyz orbitals in SiW11Co complexes can be reversed by ligands.

In search for new antitumor agents, twelve 6-aziridinylbenzimidazole derivatives were synthesized and their cytotoxicities were tested against three cancer cell lines (mouse lymphocytic leukemia P388 and B16, and human gastric carcinoma SNU-16). From 4-amino-3-nitrotoluene as the starting material, 2-(acetoxymethyl)benzimidazoles (5a-d) were obtained by Phillips reaction. These benzimidazoles were then reacted with Fremy's salt to give a mixture of three 2-(acetoxymethyl) (8a-c) and four 2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole-4,7-diones (9a-d). Addition of these quinones with aziridine afforded 6-aziridinyl-2-(acetoxymethyl) (10a-c) and 6-aziridinyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole-4,7-diones (11a-d). Utilizing 2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole-4,7-diones (9b,d), esters 10d and 13e-h were prepared by the sequential reactions of esterification and addition. The synthesized compounds show potent cytotoxicity against all of three cell lines tested. The cytotoxicities of 10a-d or 11a-d against SNU-16 were wuperior to those of 13e-h, and were equal to or slightly higher than that of mitomycin C. compounds 11a-d were slightly more cytotoxic than 10a-d in all cell lines tested.
