Details are described of reaction of carbonyl compounds with diisobutyldialkylaminoalane (DIBAL-NR2; R=Et, i-Bu, Ph) in order to establish their reduction characteristics. The reagents were extremely mild and reduced only aldehydes and ketones effectively in ethyl ether at 25 ℃. The stereoselectivity in the reduction of representative cyclic ketones appeared not so high but quite different from that obtained by DIBAL-H itself. The reagents reduced α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding allylic alcohols without any detectable 1,4-reduction products. DIBAL-NR2 also achieved the selective reduction of aldehydes or ketones in the presence of keto or other readily reducible functional group, however the chemoselectivity was less satisfactory than that achieved by diisobutylethoxyalane (DI-BAL-OEt).

Enantioselective synthesis of 1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids (1) via asymmetric reduction of 1-substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (2) and the corresponding iminium salts (3) with the selected chiral hydride reagents, such as K glucoride (5), Itsuno's reagent (6), and Mosher's reagent (7) were examined. In these reactions, dihydroisoquinolines were not reduced by the hydride reagents, whereas the iminium salts were easily reduced under the same reaction conditions found in successful reduction of ketones. Thus, the reduction of 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolium iodide(3a) with 5, 6 and 7 provided the product 1a with 52.3 % ee, 18 % ee, and 66.4 % ee, respectively. For 1-benzyl derivatives (3b-3d), syntheses of 1b-1d with 0.7-6.2 % ee, 5.9-21 % ee, and 1.4-2.7 % ee were achieved with chiral reducing agents 5, 6 and 7, respectively. For 1-aryl derivatives, use of 5, 6 and 7 resulted in optical inductions in the range of 25.2-43 % ee, 13-21.1 % ee, and 6.3-16 % ee, respectively.

Synthesis and hydrolysis of aromatic diketimines of triaryl type were investigated by the action of aryl organometallics on the three isomers of phthalonitrile. The reactions of organometallic reagents, prepared from bromobenzene, o-bromotoluene and o-bromoanisol, with iso- and terephthalonitrile proceeded in normal way. Decomposition of the addition complex with dry ammonia, methanol or water gave six diketimines, which could be hydrolysed to the corresponding diketones. Reactions of phthalonitrile with the organometallic reagent were different from the other isomers, so that the decomposition and hydrolysis of the addition complex did not give diimines and the corresponding aromatic diketones.

Biodegradative threonine dehydratase purified from Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 was inactivated by the arginine specific modification reagent, phenylglyoxal (PGO) and the lysine modification reagent, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). The inactivation by PGO was protected by L-threonine and L-serine. The second order rate constant for the inactivation of the enzyme by PGO was calculated to be 136 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$. The reaction order with respect to PGO was 0.83. The inactivation of the enzyme by PGO was reversed upon addition of excess hydroxylamine. The inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was protected by L-threonine, L-serine, and a-aminobutyrate. The second order rate constant for the inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was 157 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$ and the order of reaction with respect to PLP was 1.0. The inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was reversed upon addition of excess acetic anhydride. Other chemical modification reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide, 5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoate), iodoacetamide, sodium azide, phenylmethyl sulfonylfluoride and diethylpyrocarbonate had no effect on the enzyme activity. These results suggest that essential arginine and lysine residues may be located at or near the active site.

A new device to detect methamphetamine (MA), amphetamine(A) and its metabolites in urine was developed using the paper strip method and the test tube method of dry chemical reagents. The reagent containing tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester (TBPE) and borax. For the TBPE paper strip method, a device was prepared with a window at each end of the reagent paper strip ; one window is for the sample application, and the other window is for the methylene chloride. The diffused sample from one window reacts with reagent in the paper and produces color at the point where it meets with methylene chloride which has diffused form the other side. A positive smaple produces as red-purple color and the negative sample a greenish color, with a detection limit of 5-10 ppm. The result can be obtained within one minute. For the TBPE test tube method which contains dry reagents, the detection limit is 5 ppm and the result can be obtaineed within 30 seconds, however the carry-on is not as convenient as the paper strip method. The performance of both methods were evlauated by comparing with the results of gas chromatography (GC) and fluorescence polarizaiton immunoassay (FPIA). The results were proven that both methods were useful as primary screening reagents to detect MA in urine and in dry powder.

Reaction of monochloroacetic acid with zinc in presence of toluene, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, and dioxane solvents showed the solvent effect in order of dimethylformamide, dioxane, dimethyl sulfoxide, toluene, acetonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran. The increasing reactivity of the reagents was observed in order of the polarity and hydrophilicity of the solvent. The same reaction of ethyl monochloroacetate in the same series of solvents showed also the solvent effect, but the difference was not large as compared to that of the acid. The reaction of the acid, ester, zinc, and carbonyl precursors such as benzaldehyde and 4-heptanone gave the Reformatsky reaction product in the case of the aldehyde, but the reactivity with 4-heptanone was slight. The yield of the product was varied by the method of addition of reagents. The best yield observed in case of the acid reaction was 38.5% of the hydroxy acid and 0.8g of the salt in presence of acetonitrile and in case of the ester reaction 19.3% of ethyl cinnamate and 21.6% of polymer. The variation of the reactivity of reagents due to the reaction temperature was observed in case of carbonyl reaction. The result was discussed in terms of the solvent effect and the procedures were described.

Carboxypeptidase A-catalyzed hydrolysis of ester substrates was carried out at room temperature in the presence of a number of external reagents. If the acyl-enzyme intermediate, an anhydride, is attacked by the external reagents, products formed by trapping at the acyl portion or at the enzyme portion of the anhydride group can be obtained. Examination of the uv/vis spectral properties of the reaction products and of changes in enzyme activity indicated that such trapping reactions did not occur. Also performed was evaluation of enzymatic rate parameters for the the hydrolysis of O-(o-hydroxyphenylacetyl)-L-${\beta}$-phenyllactate. Detection of 2-coumaranone possibly formed by attack of the o-hydroxy group as an intramolecular trapping group at the acyl-enzyme intermediate was tried, but no evidences for the intramolecular trapping reaction were obtained. Failure to trap the intermediate was discussed in terms of steric hindrance imposed on the approach of the trapping reagents to the anhydride group of the acyl-enzyme intermediate and of the fast enzymatic breakdown of the intermediate.
