A series of heterocyclic chalcone derivatives bearing heterocycles such as thiophene or furan ring as an isostere of benzene ring were carefully prepared, and the influence of heterocycles on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities was systematically investigated. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) analysis showed that the activities of thiophene ring-containing chalcones were higher than those of furan ring-containing chalcones, and the presence of methyl substituent of heterocyclic ring distinctly affected the activities compared with non-substituted heterocycles in an opposite manner, with the 4'-methyl group of thiophene ring increasing activity and the 3'-methyl group of the furan ring decreasing activity. The distinct isosteric effect of heterocycles (i.e., thiophene or furan ring) on radical scavenging activities of heterocyclic chalones was distinctly demonstrated in our work.

In order to produce black disperse dye which has high heat resistance and depth color for polyester(PET), an orange disperse dye was designed and synthesized with pyridine based derivatives to get high heat resistance. Disperse blue dye adopts heterocycles structure for high molar extinction coefficient and long wavelength absorption. Synthesized disperse dye is micronized to an particle size of $0.7{\mu}m$. The mixing condition for black color using commercial disperse violet 93 is blue dye 30%, red dye 21%, and orange dye 21%, respectively. Dyed PET fabric with synthesized dye has quiet good color fastness to sublimation(grade 3-4) and has excellent rubbing, washing and light fastness grade 4-5.

This work deals with 24 substances composed of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The relationships between the chromatographic retention factor (k) and those physicochemical properties which are relevant in quantitative structure-properties relationship (QSPR) studies, such as the polarizability $(\alpha)$, molar refractivity (MR), lipophilicity (logP), dipole moment $(\mu)$, total energy $(E_{tot})$, heat of formation $(\Delta H_f)$, molecular surface area $(S_M)$, and binding energy $(E_b)$, were investigated. The accuracy of the simple linear regressions between the chromatographic retention and the descriptors for all of the compounds was satisfactory (correlation coefficient, $0.8 \leq r \leq 1.0$). The QSPR models of these nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds could be predicted with a multiple linear regression equation having the statistical index, r = 1.000. This work demonstrated the successful application of the multiple linear approaches through the development of accurate predictive equations for retention factors in liquid chromatography.

3-(N-Alkylamino)-4,5-dihydro-1,2,5-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxides have been prepared by the treatment of 3-imino-1,2,5-thiadiazolidine 1,1-dioxides with alkylamines. The selected spectral properties of these heterocycles are detailed, as well as an X-ray crystallographic structure of a representative member of these compounds. 3-(N-Benzylamino)-4,5-dihydro-4-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxide crystallyzes in space group $P2_1a$, monoclinic, with $a=22.512(3)(1)\AA$, $b=9.831(2)\AA$, $c=7.194(4)\AA$, $\beta=96.65(2)$, and Z=4.

Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) detoxify electrophilic xenobiotics and reactive metabolites. Recently benzene-fused heterocycles have been shown to increase the total amount of hepatic GSTs in rats. Primarily this study aimed to determine the induction of GSTs by benzoazoles (BAs) including benzoxazole (BX), 2-methylbenzoxazole (M-BX), 2,5-dimethyl benzoxazole (D-BX), benzothiazole (BT), aminobenzothiazole (A-BT) and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (M-BT) in rats. Hepatic cytosol and poly(A)$^+$ mRNA were prepared from rats after oral administration of BX, BT, M-BX, D-BX, A-BT and M-BT for 5 consecutive days at doses of 1 mmol/kg. Western immunoblot and northern blot analysis were conducted with rabbit anti-GST Ya, Yb$_1$, Yb$_2$, Yc antibodies and cDNA probes containing = 500 bps in the specific coding regions of Ya, Yb$_1$, Yb$_2$, Yc$_1$, and Yc$_2$, respectively. All BAs increased the amount of enzymes and mRNA levels of GSTs. BT was the most effective inducer of GSTs among the compounds examined in this study. Although A-BT and M-BT, the derivatives of BT, induced GSTs, these chemicals had lesser effect on induction of GSTs than BT. The derivatives of BX also induced less GSTs than the parent compound and the addition of methyl group to the benzene ring of BX reduced the induction of GSTs. BAs had better inductive effects on the class $\alpha$(Ya, Yc) than class $\mu$ GSTs (Yb$_1$, Yb$_2$). BAs enhanced mRNA levels of GSTs in parallel with the protein levels. These results indicate that 1) most of BAs induced various isozymes of GSTs, 2) the induction of GSTs appears to be correlated with the chemical structure of the derivatives, and 3) the expression of GST by BAs is presumably under the transcriptional regulation.

Two synthetic routes for the 1,4-diboracyclohexene-2 ring 8 have been developed. Method i) starts with 1,2-bis(dichloroaluminyl)ethane, in which the AlCl$_2$ group is replaced by BCl$_2$. Exchange of the chlorine with BI$_3$ in 1,2-bis-(dichloroboryl)ethane yields the corresponding iodo compound, which reacts with the alkynes to heterocycles 8a, b in good yield. In method ii) B$_2$Cl$_4$ is added to alkenes, replacement of chlorine with BI$_3$ yields the bis(diiodoboryl)ethane derivatives which undergo redox reactions with alkynes to give 8c, d. The diiodo derivative 8a forms the pyridine adduct 9a, and reacts with ether to give the ethoxy derivative 8f. 8a-d react with AlMe$_3$ to yield the corresponding dimethyl derivatives 8g-j, which give unstable radical anions when treated with potassium in THF. The ESR parameters are reported. In electrochemical experiments irreversible reductions of 8g-j are observed. 8g-j react with (C$_5$H$_5$)Co(C$_2$H$_4$)$_2$ to give the intermediate 16 VE complexes (C$_5$H$_5$)Co(8), in which C-H activation occurs with formation of the corresponding red 1,4-diboracyclohexadiene complexes 10. The X-ray structure analyses of 10h and 10j are reported.
