Abstract
Demalonylcopiamycin (1) was isolated from the mycelial cake of Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. crystallogenes. The structure was determined by the identification of 1 with alkaline hydrolysis product of copiamycin (2). The new antibiotic (1) was found to be more active against Gram-positive bacteria than copiamycin (2), while slightly more active against fungi.

*Department of Chemistry, Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010, U.S.A.
Abstract
A potentially general construction of 4-substituted 1-alkylpiperid-3-ones is described which employs 3-methoxy-4-bromopyridine as the crucial reagent. This substance is coupled at C-4 with Grignard reagents through the Kumada reaction. The resulting pyridines are then N-alkylated and subsequently subjected to borohydride reduction and aqueous acidic hydrolysis to reveal the title piperidones and related substances.

Abstract
The reaction of 3-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 6a,b, 3-aminoisoxazole 9 and 3-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazoles 12a,b with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate has been investigated. In the case of 6a,b, the reaction directly gave the 1,2,4-thiadiazoles 8a,b, because of a spontaneous rearrangement of the initially formed thioureas 7a,b. In the case of 9 and 12a,b, the reaction allowed to isolate the corresponding thioureas which were easily rearranged into 1,2,4-thiadiazoles.
