Mechanism of the formation of 1,2,4‐thiadiazoles by condensation of aromatic thioamides and of N‐substituted thioureas

The condensation reaction of thiobenzamide, (as well as thionicotinamide and isothionicotinamide) in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide and of an acid, affords 3,5‐diphenyl‐1,2,4‐thiadiazole. Under the same experimental conditions, N‐substituted thioureas are also condensed to 1,2,4‐thiadiazole derivatives; their structure is ascertained by spectroscopic properties and by X‐ray diffraction. Some information on the mechanism of thiadiazoles formation from both starting classes of compounds, thiobenzamides and N‐substituted thiourea, is collected and discussed.

In a second step 4 reacted with potassium dinitramide forming 3,5‐diamino‐1,2,4‐triazolium dinitramide ( 5 ) and low soluble potassium perchlorate.

4‐Aryl‐3,5‐bis(arylethynyl)aryl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazoles: Multitasking Skeleton as a Self‐Assembling Unit

The synthesis of a series of 4‐aryl‐3,5‐bis(arylethynyl)aryl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazoles derivatives is reported and the influence exerted by peripheral substitution on the morphology of the aggregates generated from these 1,2,4‐triazoles is investigated by SEM imaging. The presence of paraffinic side chains results in long fibrillar supramolecular structures, but unsubstituted triazoles self‐assemble into thinner ribbons and needle‐like aggregates. The crystals obtained from methoxy‐substituted triazoles have been utilised to elaborate a model that helps to justify aggregation of the investigated 1,2,4‐triazoles, in which the operation of arrays of C?H???π non‐covalent interactions plays a significant role. The results presented herein demonstrate the ability of simple molecules to behave as multitasking scaffolds with different properties, depending on peripheral substitution. Thus, although 1,2,4‐triazoles without long paraffinic side chains exhibit optical waveguiding behaviour, triazoles endowed with peripheral paraffinic side chains exhibit hexagonal columnar mesomorphism.     

Access to Pyrazolidin‐3,5‐diones through Anodic N–N Bond Formation

Pyrazolidin‐3,5‐diones are important motifs in heterocyclic chemistry and are of high interest for pharmaceutical applications. In classic organic synthesis, the hydrazinic moiety is installed through condensation using the corresponding hydrazine building blocks. However, most N,N′‐diaryl hydrazines are toxic and require upstream preparation owing to their low commercial availability. We present an alternative and sustainable synthetic approach to pyrazolidin‐3,5‐diones that employs readily accessible dianilides as precursors, which are anodically converted to furnish the N?N bond. The electroconversion is conducted in a simple undivided cell under constant‐current conditions.
