Conjugation paths in monosubstituted 1,2- and 2,3-naphthoquinones

Optimization of monosubstituted (X = NO, NO(2), CN, CHO, Me, OMe, OH, NH(2), NHMe, and N(Me)(2)) derivatives of 1,2- and 2,3-naphthoquinone by use of B3LYP with the 6-311+G** basis set applying the GAUSSIAN03 program allowed us to analyze the character of interactions between the substituents and the carbonyl groups. It is shown that only one of two carbonyl groups exhibited substantial substituent effect evidenced by regression of the CO bond length and delocalization index, DI(CO) on the Hammett substituent constants, σ(p), with a very high correlation coefficient, whereas the other one did not depend in any substantial way on σ(p). Dependences of conjugation path built up of bonds between substituent and oxygen atoms of carbonyl groups on σ(p), give more acceptable correlations if the number of bonds in the path is even than in cases when they are odd.     

Two new thiophosphoramide structures: N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexylphosphorothioic triamide and O,O′‐diethyl (2‐phenylhydrazin‐1‐yl)thiophosphonate

The compound N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexylphosphorothioic triamide, C₁₈H₃₆N₃PS or P(S)[NHC₆H₁₁]₃, (I), crystallizes in the space group Pnma with the molecule lying across a mirror plane; one N atom lies on the mirror plane, whereas the bond‐angle sum at the other N atom has a deviation of some 8° from the ideal value of 360° for a planar configuration. The orientation of the atoms attached to this nonplanar N atom corresponds to an anti orientation of the corresponding lone electron pair (LEP) with respect to the P=S group. The P=S bond length of 1.9785 (6) Å is within the expected range for compounds with a P(S)[N]₃ skeleton; however, it is in the region of the longest bond lengths found for analogous structures. This may be due to the involvement of the P=S group in N—H...S=P hydrogen bonds. In O,O′‐diethyl (2‐phenylhydrazin‐1‐yl)thiophosphonate, C₁₀H₁₇N₂O₂PS or P(S)[OC₂H₅]₂[NHNHC₆H₅], (II), the bond‐angle sum at the N atom attached to the phenyl ring is 345.1°, whereas, for the N atom bonded to the P atom, a practically planar environment is observed, with a bond‐angle sum of 359.1°. A Cambridge Structural Database [CSD; Allen (2002). Acta Cryst. B 58 , 380–388] analysis shows a shift of the maximum population of P=S bond lengths in compounds with a P(S)[O]₂[N] skeleton to the shorter bond lengths relative to compounds with a P(S)[N]₃ skeleton. The influence of this difference on the collective tendencies of N...S distances in N—H...S hydrogen bonds for structures with P(S)[N]₃ and P(S)[O]₂[N] segments were studied through a CSD analysis.     

One-pot synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides from styrenes and disulfides using the Zn/AlCl3 system

A simple, general, and highly regioselective procedure has been developed for the one-pot synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides in good yields from various styrenes and disulfides by cleavage of the S-S bond with a Zn/AlCl₃ system in aqueous acetonitrile at 80 °C and in the presence of oxygen.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of μ-oxo-bis[(octaethyloxoporphinato)iron(III)] Tetrafluoroborate

Exposure of dichloromethane solution of [OEOPFe(BF₄)], where OEOP is the monoanion of octaethyloxoporphyrin, to dioxygen results in its transformation into the μ-oxo bridged compound, [(OEOPFe)₂O)](BF₄)₂. The molecular structure of the title compound, [(OEOPFe)₂O](BF₄)₂, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It contains a binuclear centrosymmetric [(OEOPFe)₂O]²⁺ cation (the bridging O atom lies on an inversion centre) and two tetrafluoroborate anions. The Fe atom is five-coordinate to four N atoms of the porphyrin ring and to one bridging O atom. The compound is characterized by an average Fe–N bond length of 2.064 Å. The Fe–O bond distance is 1.7665(11) Å and the Fe–O–Fe bond angle is 180.0° and the two porphyrin rings are parallel. Crystal data: crystal system, monoclinic, a = 8.867(3), b = 26.104(9), c = 15.748(6) Å, β = 105.40(3)°, space group, P2₁/c, V = 3514(2) Å³, Z = 2.
