 570-573  Computational Study of Excited-State Intramolecular-Proton-Transfer of o-Hydroxybenzaldehyde and Its Derivatives
 S. Nagaoka,* H. Teramae, and U. Nagashima
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]   [Supporting Information]

The excited-state intramolecular-proton-transfer (ESIPT) of o-hydroxybenzaldehyde and its derivatives (o-formyl-substituted phenols) was studied by means of an ab initio molecular-orbital method. The computational results are consistent with the experimental values and support the nodal-plane model.

 585-593  A Facile Preparation of (4-Aminophenyl)(3-guaiazulenyl)methylium Hexafluorophosphate: Comparative Studies on Spectroscopic, Chemical, and Electrochemical Properties of Monocarbenium Ion and p-Benzoquinodimethane Monoiminium Ion Compounds
 S. Takekuma,* N. Ijibata, T. Minematsu, and H. Takekuma
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

The title chemistry of the isolated 3a, with the resonance structure 3c, forming a protonated amino group and the isolated 3b, possessing a 4-methylene-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-iminium ion structure, is reported.

 594-599  Generation of Diarylcarbenium Ion Pools via Electrochemical C–H Bond Dissociation
 M. Okajima, K. Soga, T. Watanabe, K. Terao, T. Nokami, S. Suga, and J. Yoshida*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

The “cation pools” of diarylcarbenium ions have been generated by the low-temperature electrochemical oxidation of diphenylmethane derivatives. The generation of the diarylcarbenium ions was confirmed by low-temperature spectroscopic analyses and their reactivity was also investigated.

 600-602  Mechanism of Isomerization and Acid-Induced Transformations of 3′-Hydroxy-4,4′-dimethoxy-3′-methyl-3-oxo-7,7′-bis(piperidinocarbonyloxy)-2,2′-spirobi[2H,2′H,3H,3′H-benzo[b]thiophene]. Unusual Equilibrium between the Spiro and 3-Hydroxybenzothiophene Systems
 M. T. Konieczny* and P. Sowiński
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]   [Supporting Information]

Two diastereoisomers of the title compound equilibrate via a 3-hydroxybenzothiophene derivative. The result indicates that the spiro form is more stable than the related, aromatic benzothiophene.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

A drastic synergistic effect has been found for the liquid-phase hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons by the combination of Pt and Ru. The surface composition of the most active catalyst was nearly 50% Pt, suggesting that the Pt–Ru ensemble of a 1-to-1 ratio was active for the hydrogenation reaction.
