ethylamino-2-hydroxychalcone in toluene, and colored species undergoing dark reaction to regenerate trans-isomer may be ascribed to cis-isomer with the lifetime of 77 min at room temperature. It is demonstrated that a trans→cis isomerization in the lowest triplet state is significantly responsible for the primaryprocess of the coloration.
4,6-diaryl and 4,6-aryl-indolyl substituted 3-cyano-2-aminopyridines were synthesized and submitted to evaluation for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity. The electronegativity of the substituents and their displacement on the 4- or 6-aryl ring of the 4,6-diaryl-3-cyano-2-aminopyridine nucleus (3a-q) influenced the anti-inflammatory activity which was higher in the presence of electron-realising groups. The introduction of the indol-3-yl substituent in the 4-position of the 3-cyano-2-aminopyridine nucleus (6a-x) increased the anti-inflammatory and analgesic power, but there was no evidence of the relationship among the electronic characteristic of the substituents, their displacement on the 6-phenyl ring and the activity. Conversely, the displacement of the 2-hydroxyphenyl group in the 4-position (4a-e) and of the indol-3-yl group in the 6-position (8h-w) decreased the anti-inflammatory activity. All derivatives did not show any significative antipyretic activity. (C) Elsevier, Paris.

A systematic study on the relationship between the substitution pattern, the pK(a) values, and spectral properties of flavylium cations and the respective-(CH2)(2)-bridged analoga (5,6-dihydrobenzo[c]xanthylium cations) is given in order to find rules concerning their spectral behaviour and their chemical reactivity.Our results show that the concept of chemical hardness can explain the different reactivity of 4'- and 7'-substituted flavylium ions against HO-. The pK(a) values of these species, which can act as a measure of reactivity with respect to a nucleophile, correlate linearly with the absolute hardness calculated from half the energy gap between the frontier orbitals. Since the longest-wavelength UV/VIS absorption maximum is mainly determined by the HOMO-LUMO transition, an analogous linear correlation is obtained between the spectral 0-0 transition and the pK(a) value. Deviations from these correlations are assumed to be due to steric effects.
