Authors: Hori Yoshio , Murata Akira , Takahashi Ryutaro , Suzuki Shin 
Published: July 2006

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO in an aqueous media was studied with voltammetric and coulometric measurements. The reduction did not proceed at Au and Pt electrodes. CO is appreciably reduced at Cu to hydrocarbons. Ni yielded products to some extent. The reaction was discussed in terms of the adsorption of CO or related intermediate species on the electrode.

Diazomethane Radical Cations as a Dipolarophile in the Dimeric Olefin Formation from Diazo-compounds
Authors: Ishiguro Katsuya , Sawaki Yasuhiko , Iwamura Hiizu 
Published: July 2006

Abstract
A novel cycloaddition mechanism involving diazomethane radical cations is proposed for the dimeric olefin formation by the one-electron oxidation of diazo-compounds. The preference of cis-stilbene formation from phenyldiazomethane is understood by a secondary orbital interaction of phenyl groups on the cycloaddition step.

Abstract
An X-ray analysis of thermally unstable tropothione (1) has revealed a conspicuous packing of anti-parallel arrangement in sheets quite different from that of the parent tropone, an approximate planar carbon ring, and an especially longer C=S bond than that in diphenylcyclopropenethione. The bond alternation of 1 is also confirmed by NMR simulation analysis.

Authors: Kambe Nobuaki , Tsukamoto Takashi , Miyoshi Noritaka , Murai Shinji , Sonoda Noboru 
Published: July 2006

Abstract
Olefins were found to be oxidized by use of benzenetellurinic anhydride in acetic acid leading to vic-diacetates. Benzenetellurenic acid derivatives formed in situ are suggested as the active species. This diacetoxylation proceeds in net syn fashion probably via anti acetoxytellurenylation of the olefin followed by displacement of the phenyltelluro group by an acetoxy group with inversion.

Authors: Fukuzumi Shunichi , Mochizuki Seiji , Tanaka Toshio 
Published: July 2006

Abstract
Photoreduction of phenacyl halides by an NADH model compound, 10-methylacridan (AcrH2), in MeCN proceeds via photoinduced electron transfer from the singlet excited state of AcrH2 to phenacyl halides without the contribution of radical chain reactions, while the photoreduction by another NADH model compound, 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH), proceeds via photoinduced radical chain reactions. The origin of the mechanistic difference between AcrH2 and BNAH has been discussed.
