Wetherill Research Profes- Hsor Emeritus of Purdue University and one of the truly pioneering giants in the field of organic-organometallic chemistry, died of a heart attack on December 19, 2004, at age 92. As it so happened, this author visited him at his home to discuss with him an urgent chemistry-related matter only about 10 hours before his death.

The stability of haloacetonitriles decreases and the hydrolysis rate increases with increasing pH and number of halogen atoms in the molecule: The monochloroacetonitriles are the most stable and are also less aected by pH-changes, while the trihaloacetonitriles are the least stable and most sensitive to pH changes. The stability of haloacetonitriles also increases by substitution of chlorine atoms with bromine atoms. The hydrolysis rates in dierent buer solutions follow ®rst order kinetics with a minimum hydrolysis rate at intermediate pH. Thus, haloacetonitriles have to be preserved in weakly acid solutions between sampling and analysis. The corresponding haloacetamides are formed during hydrolysis and in basic solutions they can hydrolyze further to give haloacetic acids. Linear free energy relationship can be used for prediction of degradation of haloacetonitriles

Signature: Date: i Abstract Malaria is an infectious disease found in humans and other animals, it is caused by a single-cell parasite of the Plasmodium genus with many different substrains. Of these, P. falciparum is the most deadly to humans causing the majority of deaths. Although research into the area of antimalarial compounds is wide spread, few have been devel- oped with new structural features. Cordytropolone 37 is a natural product isolated in 2001 from the insect pathogenic fungus Cordyceps sp. BCC 1681 and has been shown to have antimalarial activity against P. falciparum. It has a structure unrelated to antimalarial com- pounds currently used in therapy. It does not contain a peroxide bridge as with artemisinin 25 or quinoline rings as with chloroquine 22. This unique structure indicates that it could possibly interact with the malaria parasite in a fashion unlike current treatments. In order for cordytropolone to be further developed as a potential treatment, it must first be synthe- sised in a laboratory environment. This study attempts to develop the first total synthesis of cordytropolone.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Lester Percy Joseph Burton forthe degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry presentedon March 20, 1981. Title: Part 1 - The Total Synthesis of (±)-Cinnamodialand Related Drimane Sesquiterpenes Part 2 - Photochemical Activation ofthe Carboxyl Group Via NAcy1-2-thionothiazolidines Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy DT. James D. White Part I A total synthesis of the insect antifeedant(±)-cinnamodial ( ) and of the related drimanesesquiterpenes (±)-isodrimenin (67) and (±)-fragrolide (72)are described from the diene diester 49. Hydro- boration of 49 provided the C-6oxygenation and the trans ring junction in the form of alcohol 61. To confirm the stereoselectivity of the hydroboration, 61 was convertedto both (t)-isodrimenin (67) and (±)-fragrolide (72) in 3 steps. A diisobutylaluminum hydride reduction of 61 followed by a pyridiniumchlorochromate oxidation and treatment with lead tetraacetate yielded the dihydrodiacetoxyfuran102. The base induced elimination of acetic acid preceded theepoxidation and provided 106 which contains the desired hydroxy dialdehydefunctionality of cinnamodial in a protected form. The epoxide 106 was opened with methanol to yield the acetal 112. Reduction, hydrolysis and acetylation of 112 yielded (t)- cinnamodial in 19% overall yield. Part II - Various N- acyl- 2- thionothiazolidineswere prepared and photo- lysed in the presence of ethanol to provide the corresponding ethyl esters. The photochemical activation of the carboxyl function via these derivatives appears, for practical purposes, to be restricted tocases where a-keto hydrogen abstraction and subsequent ketene formation is favored by acyl substitution.

Firstly, HPPANI was prepared via self-stabilization dispersion polymerization method in a heterogeneous reaction medium. Second step involves doping of emeraldine base form of HPPANI with boron trifluoride under reduced vacuum. The resultants BF3 doped HPPANI have been well characterized by using UV- Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetry. The spectroscopic data indicated that the interaction between HPPANI and BF3.Thermogravimetry studies revealed that the BF3 doping improved the thermal stability of defects free PANI.

Introduction Conducting polymers have attracted increasing attention because they offers the possibility of generation of novel materials with diverse applications for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, rechargeable battery, chemical sensor, organic light emitting devices, corrosion devices, and microwave absorption1–5. Among conducting polymers, polyaniline (PANI) is the promising electrical conducting polymer due to its a broad range of tunable properties derived from its structural flexibility, good environmental stability, easy preparation in aqueous solution, and organic solvents, optical, electrical properties and unique redox chemistry6-7.
