BILDUNG UND SPALTUNG VON 3-THIETANON

Abstract

3-Thietanone (3a) reacts rapidly with methanolic sodium hydrogen sulfide to form a mixture of products wherein 2,4-dimethylthiophene-3-thiol (9), the corresponding disulfide (10) and 3,6-dimethyl-7-oxa-2,5-dithiabicyclc [2.2.1]-heptane (7) could be detected. These products are explained to be derived from the unstable 1-mercapto-2-propanone (5) formed by reductive cleavage of the thietanone ring. The cleavage is postulated to occur by attack of hydrogensulfide ion at the ring sulfur. 3-Thietanone can be synthesized from 3-thietanol by oxidation with dimethyl sulfoxide/benzoic acid anhydride.

3-Thietanon (3a) reagiert rasch mit methanolischem Natriumhydrogensulfid zu einem Produktgemisch, in dem 2,4-Dimethylthiophen-3-thiol (9), das entsprechende Disulfid (10) und 3,6-Dimethyl-7-oxa-2,5-dithiabicyclo [2.2.1]-heptan (7) nachgewiesen werden konnten. Diese Produkte lassen sich aus dem instabilen 1-Mercapto-2-propanon (5) ableiten, welches durch reduktive Spaltung des Thietanon-Ringes gebildet wird. Für die Spaltung wird ein Angriff des Hydrogensulfidions am Ringschwefel postuliert. 3-Thietanon kann aus 3-Thietanol durch Oxidation mit Dimethyl-sulfoxid/Benzoesäureanhydrid synthetisiert werden.     

Growth, thermal stability and structure of ultrathin Zn-layers on Pd(1 1 1)

Low-energy ion scattering with monolayer sensitivity was applied to investigate ultrathin films of zinc on Pd(1?1?1). Uptake curves taken at 150?K indicate the simultaneous growth of multilayers with negligible interlayer transport. Annealing experiments for two-monolayer films reveal a rapid decrease in the zinc content on the surface layer at temperatures above 300?K, forming a metastable state with a Pd:Zn surface ratio of approx. 1:1 in the temperature region between 400 and 550?K. This state is most easily explained as a slightly buckled p(2?×?1)-PdZn surface alloy, with Zn atoms located approx. 0.25?? above their Pd counterparts.     

Liquid Injection Field Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry of Cyclic Metal Carbonyl Complexes with Tetra-Antimony Ligands

Reactions of (norbornadiene)Cr(CO)₄ or cis-(piperidine)₂Mo(CO)₄ with R₂Sb-SbR₂, and cyclo-(R′Sb)_n (R′ = Et, n-Pr; n = 4, 5) give the complexes cyclo-[M(CO)₄(R₂Sb-SbR′- SbR′-SbR₂)] (1: M = Cr, R = Me, R′= Et; 2: M = Mo, R = Et, R′ = Et; 3: M = Mo, R = Et, R′ = n-Pr). Not accessible to established characterization methods, the oily, extremely reactive unpurified mixture of 3 with scrambled ligands was characterized by mass spectrometry using liquid injection field desorption ionization (LIFDI).      

1‐Thiacyclooct‐4‐yne (=5,6‐Didehydro‐3,4,7,8‐tetrahydro‐2H‐thiocin), and Its Sulfoxide and Its Sulfone

1‐Thiacyclooct‐4‐yne (=5,6‐didehydro‐3,4,7,8‐tetrahydro‐2H‐thiocin; 9 ) can be prepared from thiocan‐5‐one ( 6 ) in three steps by applying the so‐called selenadiazole method. The heterocyclic alkyne can be oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxide 16 and sulfone 17 . Due to their geometrical strain, all three cyclic alkynes show high reactivities in Diels? Alder and 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions. Moreover, tetrathiafulvalenes can be prepared from 9 and 16 by the reaction with CS₂.
