The effects of ortho- (R = H and CH3) and Y-substituents (Y = OCH3, CH3H and CN), which are directly attached to the carbonyl carbon, on the protonation equilibria of the para-X-substituted benzoyl derivatives, 4-X -2, 6-di-R-C6H2-C(=O)-Y, are investigated theoretically using the B3LYP method with 6-31+G* basis set. Structurally, both of the (B) and (BH+ ) forms in the species with R = H are nearly coplanar regardless of the Y-substituents implying that the steric repulsion between Y-substituent and R = H is relatively small. In the species with R = CH3 , the tortional angle (Θ) between the carbonyl moiety and aryl ring varies from zero to near right angle depending on the degree of steric repulsion between Y and R = CH3 and the resonance demand. However the reaction energies, ΔG°, for the protonation processes are more favorable for R = CH3 than for R = H due to stronger electron donating effect of R = CH3 , although the species with R = CH3 are unfavorable sterically. On the other hand, the Hammett type plots are progressively better correlated with б+ than with б values on going from Y = OCH3 to Y = CN for both species with R = H and CH3 indicating that the degree of resonance delocalization between carbonyl moiety and X-substituent is increased for a more electron accepting Y-substituent. Nevertheless the effects of R = CH3 on the magnitude of Hammett type reaction constants ( б or б+ ) are not much different from those of R = H.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of dibutyl chlorothiophosphate (4S) with substituted anilines ($XC_6H_4NH_2$) and deuterated anilines ($XC_6H_4ND_2$) are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at $55.0^{\circ}C$. The obtained deuterium kinetic isotope effects (DKIEs;$k_H/k_D$) are primary normal ($k_H/k_D$ = 1.10-1.35). A concerted mechanism involving predominant frontside nucleophilic attack is proposed on the basis of the primary normal DKIEs and selectivity parameters. Hydrogen bonded, four-center-type transition state is proposed. The steric effects of the two ligands on the anilinolysis rates of the chlorothiophosphates are discussed. The anilinolyses of P=S systems are compared with those of their P=O counterparts on the basis of the reactivities, thio effects, selectivity parameters, and DKIEs.

The kinetic studies on the reactions of O-methyl (1), O-propyl (3) and O-isopropyl (4) phenyl phosphonochloridothioates with substituted anilines and deuterated anilines have been carried out in acetonitrile at $55.0^{\circ}C$. A concerted $S_N2$ mechanism is proposed for the anilinolyses of 1, 3 and 4. The anilinolysis rates of the phosphonochloridothioates are predominantly dependent upon the steric effects over the inductive effects of the two ligands. The deuterium kinetic isotope effects (DKIEs; $k_H/k_D$) are primary normal with 1 and 3, while secondary inverse with 4. Primary normal and secondary inverse DKIEs are rationalized by frontside and backside nucleophilic attack transition state, respectively. The DKIEs of the phosphonochloridothioates do not have any consistent correlations with the two ligands.

The acid dissociation constants of certain Schiff bases derived from isatin with p-substituted benzoyl hydrazines and somee amino acids of glycine, $\beta$-and $\alpha$-alanine, valine, $\beta$-phenyl-$\alpha$-alanine and anthranilic acid have been detemined potentiometrically at different temperatures in different aquo-organic solvent mixtures (ethnol, dioxane, dimethyl formamide, methanol, acetone and tetrahydrofurance). The pKa values were demonstrated on the light of the different electornic and steric effects of the substituents and the sovlent characteristics. In all the mixed media used, ionization of the compounds decreased by increasing the mole fraction of the organic cosolvent. Theemodynamic parameters $(\Delta{H}^\circ,\;\Delta{G}^\circ,\;\Delta{S}^\circ)$ were evaluated. The structural effects of the investigated compounds on these parameters were reported and discussed.

Solvolysis rates of isopropenyl chloroformate (3) in water, $D_2O$, $CH_3OD$ and in aqueous methanol, ethanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), acetone, 1,4-dioxane as well as TFE-ethanol at 10 ${^{\circ}C}$ are reported. Additional kinetic data for pure water, pure ethanol and 80%(w/w) 2,2,2-trifuoroethanol (T)-water (W) at various temperatures are also reported. These rates show the phenomena of maximum rates in specific solvents (30% (v/v) methanol-water and 20% (v/v) ethanol-water) and, variations in relative rates are small in aqueous alcohols. The kinetic data are analyzed in terms of GW correlations, steric effect, kinetic solvent isotope effects (KSIE), and a third order model based on general base catalysis (GBC). Solvolyses based on predominately stoichiometric solvation effect relative to medium solvation are proceeding in 3 and the results are remarkably similar to those for p-nitrobenzoyl chloride (4) in mechanism and reactivity.

The kinetic studies on the pyridinolysis of diisopropyl thiophosphinic chloride have been carried out in acetonitrile at $55.0^{\circ}C$. The free energy correlations for substituent X variations in the X-pyridines are biphasic concave upwards with a break point at X = 3-Ph. A concerted SN2 mechanism is proposed with a change of the attacking direction of the X-pyridine from a frontside attack for the strongly basic pyridines to a backside attack for the weakly basic pyridines. The factors to determine the rates and thio effects on the rates for the pyridinolyses of thiophophinic chloride, chlorothiophosphate, phosphinic chloride, phosphonochloridothioate, and chlorophosphate systems are briefly reviewed on the basis of the magnitude of the positive charge of the reaction center P atom and steric effects of the two ligands.

The R- and Z-substituent effects for the gas-phase thermal decompositions of carbamates, R2NC(=O)- OCH2CH2Z, have been investigated theoretically at B3LYP level with 6-31G(d) and 6-31++G(d,p) basis sets. Both the Z- and R-substituent effects on reactivity (ΔH≠) were well consistent with experimental results, although the R-substituent effect was underestimated theoretically. No correlations were found between activation enthalpies and reaction enthalpies. The substituent effects on reactivity seemed to be complicated at a glance, but were understandable by concurrent electronic and steric factors. Variations of bond lengths at TS structures were well correlated with the Taft's σ* values and the TS structures became tighter as the Zsubstituent became a stronger electron-acceptor (δσ* > 0). However the effects of R-substituents on the TS structures were much smaller when compared to those of Z-substituents.

EGFR has been intensively investigated as a target to block the signal transduction pathway which stimulates cancer growth and metastasis. Studies about structure-activity relationship for tricyclic azepine derivatives were performed with topomer-CoMFA. The derived topomer-CoMFA model with steric and electrostatic field parameters based on fragment units gave reasonable statistics ($q^2$=0.561, $r^2$=0.679). The model explains why a halogen atom at the meta position of aniline is important to increases inhibitory activity. This comes from an electrostatically negative groups are favored near this region. The model also shows that there are sterically favored regions around methoxy group extended from oxazepine derivatives. The findings about steric and electrostatic effects can be utilized for designing new inhibitors.

Ten (E)-and (Z)-isomers of 2-phenylcyclopropylamine (PCA), 1-Me PCA, 2-Me-PCA, N-Me-PCA, and N, N-diMe PCA and fifteen o-. m-, p- isomers of (E) PCA with substituents of Me, Cl, F, OMe, OH were synthesized in this laboratory and tested for the inhibition of rat brain mitochondrial MAO-A and MAO-B. The effects of substituents, their positions, and stereochemistry on the inhibition were assessed for the compounds with substituents at cyclopropyl and amino groups and QSAR analyses were performed using the potency data of ring-substituted compounds. The best correlated QSAR equations are as follows : pI$_{50}$ = 0.804 $\pi^2$-0.834 Blo-1.069 Blm + 0.334 Lp-1.709 HDp +7.897 (r = 0.945, s =0.211, F = 16.691, p = 0.000) for the inhibition of MAO-A;PI$_{50}$= 1.815$\pi$-0.825 $\pi^2$-1.203R + 0.900 Es$^2$ + 0.869 Es$^3$ + 0.796 Es$^4$-0.992 HDp + 0.562 HAo + 3.893 (r = 0.982, s =0.178, F = 23.351, p = 0.000) for the inhibition of MAO-B. Based on the potency difference between stereoisomers of cyclopropylamine-modified compounds and an QSAR cavity near para position, two hydrophobic carities interacting with Me group, a hydrophobic site near para position, and an amino group binding site and that in addition to the same two hydrophotic cavities, hydrophotic area, steric boundaries, hydrogen-acceptor site, and amino group binding site, another steric boundary near para position and a hydrogen donating site near ortho position constitute active sites of MAO-B.
