Successive one-step preparation of the appropriate α-aryl propionitrile from the aryl halides with propionitrile by photo-SRN1 procedure followed by hydrolysis gives the desired α-aryl propionic acid in excellent total yield. The photostimulated reaction of 2-bromonaph-thalene with acetonitrile or propionitrile in KNH2-NH3 solution to form the corresponding nucleophilic substitution product occurs with quantum yields considerably in excess of unit, while the pseudo-first-order rate constants of the photo-SRN1 are 30.9 and 47.0×10-5mol·s-1, respectively. Definite evidence to support the excitation of ground CTC and electron transfer from anion to ArX within the complex comes from the observation of the same φ>200 and φ>313 as well as MO calculation.展开更多

A Good correlation equation was obtained (r2=0.925, q2=0.871). Some new compounds were designed according to the equation. Two of them, compounds 21 and 22, were synthesized and evaluated in NIH mice. The results showed that the difference of activity between 21 (median effective dose ED50=0.943 mg/kg/day) and 22 (ED50=1.099 mg/kg/day) was small and both of them were potent. It is also agreed with the computational results. Compared with L14105 which is the most potent pregnancy-terminating agent, these two compounds possess high activity. The evaluation of the anti-implanting activity showed that they were 100% effective at tested dosage 50.0, 25.0, 12.5 mg/kg/day×3 days in oral administration, which proved the both of them had anti-implanting activity and low first-pass effects.展开更多
