Use of mercuric acetate in organic preparations—Part I - Mercury compounds of amides and imides
Mercury compounds of succinimide and pthalimide have been obtained easily and in a pure condition by treating the respective imides with mercuric acetate in alcoholic solution. Carbamide (urea) forms two compounds when it reacts with mercuric acetate in different proportions: (I) Mercury carbamide and (2) Di-acetoxymercuri carbamide. The preparation of mercury acetamide is best effected only through the use of mercuric oxide. When mercuric acetate in alcoholic solution is employed, acetoxymercuri acetamide is formed.

A note on the preparation and reactions of Karanjin
N V Subba Rao J Veerabhadrarao T R Seshadri
A method of extracting Karanjin in good yield from Pongamia oil is described. Karanjin is only faintly bitter and is found to be useful for the treatment of leucoderma. A method of hydrolysis of Karanjin giving rise to a good yield of Karanjic acid has been found. It has been shown that Pongamia oil contains potassium in some form of chemical combination. By the action of mercuric acetate, Karanjin yields a di-acetoxy-mercuri compound.

Experiments have been conducted with a view to test if the progress of oxidation by mercuric acetate could be followed by weighing the amount of mercurous acetate precipitated from time to time. This procedure has been found to be not feasible since complications set in owing to the solvent also undergoing oxidation induced by the presence of other substances. It has been found that most compounds containing -CHOH group produce mercurous acetate in methyl alcoholic solution and the oxidation products could be identified. Convenient methods for the preparation of benzil, quinhydrone, quinone and mercurous acetate in a pure condition in the laboratory are described.

Some organo-mercury compounds derived from quinine and cinchonine
The action of mercuric chloride and mercuric acetate on the alkaloids quinine and cinchonine has been investigated with a view to prepare organomercury compounds. The properties and constitutions of the compounds have been studied. Mercuric chloride forms combinations with the basic nitrogen atoms of the alkaloids whereas with mercuric acetate it is posible to produce compounds by addition at the ethylenic double bond. Some of these can be conveniently employed for therapeutic purposes.

A more detailed study of scandenin is made and its important properties compared with those of lonchocarpic and robustic acids. The three non-rotenoids show marked resemblance. They do not give the Durham test, and are definitely acids owing this property not to carboxyl groups but to specially active hydroxyl groups. They are quite stable to aqueous and alcoholic alkali. The fully methylated ethers have three methoxy groups in all the three cases and these ethers undergo decomposition readily in alcoholic alkali in the presence of zinc, the main products being neutral in nature. The three compounds do not give chemical tests for the presence of carbonyl groups, exhibit definite toxicity to fish and have very similar ultra-violet absorption spectra. The toxicity and the spectra indicate the presence of carbonyl groups in conjugation with ethylenic bonds.

An improved method for the preparation of 7-amino-4-methyl coumarin is described.

A few 5:6- and 5:8-quinoline quinones have been synthesised by oxidising the corresponding aminohydroxy and diaminoquinolines. The required aminohydroxy quinolines could be prepared by nitrosation of hydroxy quinolines and subsequent reduction. Coupling the monoamino quinolines with diazotised sulphanilic acid and reduction afforded the diamino quinolines. 6:7-Dichloro- and 6:7-dibromo-5:8-quinoline quinones exhibited fungistatic activity nearly equal to that of 2:3-dichloro-1:4-naphthoquinone.

Effect of conjugation and complex formation on the Raman and I.R. frequencies of the carbonyl group
T R Seshadri N V Subba Rao B Subrahmanyam
New data presented regarding the influence of different types of substituents in the benzene ring of aromatic carbonyl compounds (including benzils) on the > C=O frequency have made it possible to revise and rationalise older explanations.
Based on uniform considerations of polarisation, rational explanation can be provided for the effects of ethylene and phenyl conjugation, hydrogen bond formation and complex formation. Abnormal effects are observed in special cases where other important factors are simultaneously involved as for example in N-oxides and flavonoids of various types; but they are explicable on a rational basis. Further, the behaviour of acetylene and nitrile compounds throws insight on the nature of some of these factors.

The synthesis of a number of 3-(2-furyl) coumarins adopting three different methods is described. The comparative merits of the methods are also discussed. The presence of a furyl moiety at the 3-posiiton of the coumarin ring has been shown to be comparatively better than a phenyl moiety in regard to the fish toxicity of the molecule. Among the coumarins tested on fish, 7-bromo-4-methyl-3-(2-furyl) coumarin has the maximum activity and is one-third as active as rotenone. The U.V., I.R. and N.M.R. spectral data of some of the compounds are also presented.

Strength of chelation in benzoins
The infrared and ultraviolet absorption spectra of substituted benzoins have been studied with a view to find the influence of ring substituents on the strength of chelation in benzoins. The strength of chelation was found to be in the order 4-dimethylamino benzofuroin > 4-dimethylamino benzoin > 4-methoxy benzoin = anisoin > benzoin = furoin.

The influence of solvents on the intramolecular hydrogen bond in benzoin and methyl mandelate is studied using infrared spectroscopy. Non-oxygenated solvents could not break the chelation but could shift the OH frequencies to a small extent. Oxygenated solvents like diethyl ether, acetone and dioxan could break the chelation and form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The relative intensities of the bands of intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonds gave an indication of the donor ability of these solvents, which is linked with their capacity to break the intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Making use of the symmetry numbers of the OH band, the order of the interacting abilities of the oxygenated solvents in breaking the chelation is ascertained and explained.
