Coupling of the radical sites in isomeric benzynes is known to hinder their radical reactivity. In order to determine how far apart the radical sites must be for them not to interact, the gas-phase reactivity of several isomeric protonated (iso)quinoline-and acridine-based biradicals was examined. All the (iso)quinolinium-based biradicals were found to react slower than the related monoradicals with similar vertical electron affinities (i.e., similar polar effects). In sharp contrast, the acridinium-based biradicals, most with the radical sites farther apart than in the (iso)quinolinium-based systems, showed greater reactivities than the relevant monoradicals with similar vertical electron affinities. The greater distances between the two radical sites in these biradicals lead to very little or no spin-spin coupling, and no suppression of radical reactivity was observed. Therefore, the radical sites can still interact if they are located on adjacent benzene rings and only after being separated further than that does no coupling occur. The most reactive radical site of each biradical was experimentally determined to be the one predicted to be more reactive based on the monoradical reactivity data. Therefore, the calculated vertical electron affinities of relevant monoradicals can be used to predict which radical site is most reactive in the biradicals.

The synthesis of a series of mono- and disubstituted N-phenylanthranilic acids is described. Substituents on the phenyl ring include Cl, CN, OH, CF3, Br, I, CH3, OCH3, and OCF2CF2H. These compounds have been tested for their inhibitory effect on triiodothyronine (T3) uptake by H4 hepatocytes. The nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs flufenamic acid, mefenamic acid, and meclofenamic acid and the structurally related compounds 2,3- dimethyldiphenylamine and diclofenac were also tested. The most potent compounds were found to be, in order of decreasing activity, meclofenamic acid (2,6-Cl2,3-CH3), flufenamic acid (3-CF3), mefenamic acid (2,3- (CH3)2), and the compounds with 3,5-Cl2 and 3-OCF2CF2H substituents. The least potent compounds had 3-CN and 3-OH substituents. An analysis of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) for the series of phenylanthranilic acids showed that the inhibition of T3 uptake is highly dependent on the hydrophobicity of the compound. The relationship between uptake inhibition and the calculated octanol-water partition coefficient (clogP) was found to be parabolic, with optimum inhibitory activity found when the clogP of the phenylanthranilic acid was 5.7. It was also found that the 1-carboxylic acid group of the phenylanthranilic acids was not a prerequisite for uptake inhibition to occur, but its removal or alteration resulted in reduced inhibition.
