Abstract
Reactions of naphtho[b]cyclopropene with 2-substituted tropone derivatives in chloroform under the presence of ytterbium complex afforded two types of cyclic ether compounds via a [8π+2σ] type cycloaddition reactions. On the other hand, the similar reactions but using benzene as a solvent proceeded through a [6π+2π] type cycloaddition path to form cyclic ketone compounds.

Abstract
Epoxidation of taxinine J derivative (2c) with m-CPBA afforded a mixture of 4 Éø,20-epoxide (3), 4Éø,20 : 11β,12β-diepoxide (4) and 11 β,12β-epoxide (5). The proportion of the yields was dependent on temperature (3 : 4 = 80 : 10 at room temperature, 4 : 5 = 68 : 25 at 0-10°C). The reactions of derivatives of taxinine (2b) with m-CPBA and dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) were also investigated.

Dariusz Bogdal*
*Department of Chemistry, Politechnika Krakowska, ul. Warszawska 24, 31-155 Krakow, Poland
Abstract
Carbazolyl nitrenium cations were generated during the thermolysis and photolysis of 1-carbazol-9-yl-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium (Py+-Cz) tetrafluoroborate in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol- and TFA - mesitylene mixtures. The thermolysis of Py+-Cz in TFA-mesitylene mixture gave 9-mesitylcarbazole in good yield along with carbazole, non-symmetrical mesitylene dimer, 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine, and a small amount of 9-(3,5-dimethylbenzyl)carbazole, whereas the thermolysis in trifluoroethanol - mesitylene mixture gave 9-mesitylcarbazole as the main product along with carbazole and 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine. The product distributions lead to two major conclusions. First, photolysis and thermolysis of Py+-Cz salt produce nitrenium ions that can be in singlet or triplet state dependant on the reaction conditions. Second, the carbazolyl nitrenium ion exhibits singlet state in the ground state.

Hiroko F. Kasai,* Ken-ichi Kawai, and Kazutake Shimada
*Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hoshi University, 2-4-41 Ebara, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 142-8501, Japan
Abstract
The electron ionization mass spectrometric data of three cardiac glycosides having an unusual sugar linkage, elaeodendrosides A, B and C, are reported. The decomposition patterns upon EI-MS were investigated by means of collision induced dissociation utilizing B/E linked scan experiments and deuterium labeling techniques. Besides the fragment ions related to aglycones, elaeodendroside A which is a 12-keto steroid, produces decomposition ions derived from cleavage of steroidal C- and D-rings. Elaeodendrosides B and C, which have a six-membered hemiacetal ring, generate ions derived from the cleavage of sugar rings and the aforementioned unusual sugar linkage.

Abstract
To develop non-prodrugs of taxoids possessing satisfactory stability in vivo, high water solubility and potent antitumor activity, we prepared several 10-C-sec-aminoalkylated docetaxel analogs and evaluated their cytotoxicity against mouse leukemia and human tumor cell lines. These analogs were synthesized from a 10-deacetoxy-10-C-formylethyl baccatin derivative. Among these analogs, the 10-C-morpholinoethyl and 10-C-morpholinomethyl analogs exhibited cytotoxicity comparable or superior to that of docetaxel.

*National Institute of Material and Chemical Research, 1-1-1 Higashi, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8565, Japan
Abstract
The Mechanism of formation of 2-(2-alkoxycarbonylphenylthio)-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-ones, which were obtained by the heating of 2-sulfenamoylbenzoates, was investigated. It appears that transamination occurred on the sulfur atom of a 2-sulfenamoylbenzoate between the amino group and the 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, which formed by the cyclization of methyl 2-sulfenamoylbenzoate after heating, to give 2-(2-methoxycarbonylphenylthio)-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-ones. Several types of 2-sulfenyl-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-ones were synthesized from the 2-sulfenamoylbenzoates.

Abstract
Substituted and non-substituted anilines were transformed to the corresponding triazole derivatives, which were converted to dimethyl indole-2,3-dicarboxylates by photocyclization. The reaction of diester with hydrazine hydrate gave 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole-1,4(2H,3H)-diones (5).
