In this paper, some of the work by Talbott has been repeated and other reactions of 4-picoline and pyridine N-oxides with aromatic halogen compounds have been investigated.

The specific goal of this investigation was the determination of the self-diffusion coefficient of the divalent lead ion in a fused lead chloride system at several temperatures and the determination of the activation energy for the diffusion process.

The work presented in this investigation is concerned with the chemical properties of 5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin as compared with 5-phenylhydantoin.

It is the purpose of this investigation to study the chemistry of 5-(3-pyridyl)hydantoin and to compare its properties with those of 5-phenylhydantoin.

This paper concerns the preparation of some bis derivatives of dialkylaminoalkoxypropionitirles from trimethylene, hexamethylene, octomethylene, and decamethylene bromides. These compounds are to be tested for curariform activity and anesthetic values by Parke, Davis and Company.

This thesis describes the synthesis of a series of 5-alkideniminoxy-5-phenylhydantoins for the purpose of studying their anticonvulsant properties.

Imidazole derivatives of 1,4-naphthoquinones are found to have biological activity which interferes with the utilization of vitamin K or of the purines since they have groups common to these two classes of compounds. This thesis shows the preparation of some 1-substituted-naphthimidazole-4,9-diones for possible biological activity.

The original purpose of this investigation was to prepare a series of diketones. However, since considerable difficulty was encountered in the preparation of these diketones, attention was shifted to a study of the Friedel-Craft reactions of phenolic ethers and to the reaction between phenolic ethers and dicarboxylic acids with boron trifluoride as a catalyst.

This thesis describes the attempt to synthesize some 5-hetero-substituted dihydro-4,6(1H,5H)-pyrimidinediones as possible anticonvulsants.

This thesis describes the reactions of mercury-sensitized isopropyl alcohol when bombarded with 2537 Angstrom radiation.

This thesis describes the reactions and emission spectra of propylene under radio frequency energy radiation.

The purpose of this investigation was the synthesis of some 1,4-naphthoquinones and 1,4-anthraquinones. It will be shown that some of these substituted quinones exhibit physiological properties.

It was the aim of this investigation to prepare derivatives of 1,4-naphthoquinone substituted at the 2- and 3- positions with various amino groups. 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone was selected as the starting material because of the possibility of replacing the chloro groups in direct substitution reactions with amines.

The purpose of this investigation was to complete the study of the 5-pyridylhydantoins by resynthesizing 5-(2-pyridyl)hydantoni and investigating its properties.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the syntheses of enol lactones and to prepare a series of amide derivatives of these compounds.
