Disulfides of the benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole series

Disulfides of the benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole series were obtained by reduction of benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazolesulfonyl chlorides (by hydriodic acid or by sulfur dioxide) or by the reaction of benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazolesulfinic acids with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid. Convenient methods for the synthesis of the starting compounds were found, and the fungicidal activity of the disulfides obtained was studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1555–1558, November, 1989.     

Researches on 2,1,3-thia-and selenadiazole

Chlorination of benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole (I) in the presence of iron and paraform gives only 4-chlorobenzo-2,1,3-thiazole. Chlorination of 5,6-dimethylbenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole (II) under exactly the same conditions gives only 5,6-dimethyl-4,7-dichlorobenzo-2,1,2-thiadiazole. Similarly chloromethylation of II in the presence of paraform gives only 5,6-dimethly-4,7-di(chloromethyl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole. Chlorination and chloromethylation of I proceed through the intermediate formation of monosubstituted compounds which change into disubstimted ones.It is known [2,3] that Chlorination of benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole (I) and its 5,6-dimethyl derivative (II) with chlorine in the presence of iron gives mainly the 4,7-dichloro substitution products III and IV respectively.It was previously shown [4] that chloromethylation of I with dichlorodimethyl ether in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride also gives mainly 4,7-di(chloromethyl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole (V). Bases and pseudo-bases (paraform, urotropine. dimethylformamide) have a retarding effect on chloromethylation. When the reaction is run in the presence of these latter the products comprise besides V, 4-chloromethyl-2,1,3-thiadiazole (VI), or else, if enough base is added, there is no reaction.For Part XLII see [1].     

Studies in the field of 2,1,3-thia- and -selenadiazoles

The results of studies on 2,1,3-thiadiazole, benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole, benzo-2,1,3-selenadiazole, and their derivatives by chemical, physicochemical, and physical methods give no grounds for assuming that they have a quinoid structure. These results permit the statement that these heterocycles containing quatervalent sulfur or selenium are typical heteroaromatic systems satisfying Hückel's (4n+2) rule.For part LV, see [1].     

Conversion of 4-substituted benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoles to 5-chloro-4,7-dioxobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole by action of hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid

Under the influence of hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid in acetonitrile 4-substituted benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoles form 5-chloro-4,7-dioxobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole. 4-Alkoxy- and 4-[(alkoxycarbonyl)methoxy]benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoles give, in addition, the corresponding 5,7-dichloro derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 114–117, January, 1988.     

Reactions of benzo-1,2,3-dithiazolium salts and their selenium analogs with amines

The corresponding 6-arylamino derivatives were obtained by reaction of 6-chloro, 6-bromo, and 6-methoxy derivatives of benzo-1,2,3-dithiazolium and their selenium analogs — benzo-1,2,3-thiaselenazolium, benzo-2,1,3-thiaselenazolium, and benzo-1,2,3-diselenazolium salts — with aromatic amines. The 6-methoxy derivatives also react with acetates of secondary aliphatic amines, whereas in the case of the chloro derivatives attack is directed to the heteroring. 6-Aryl(dialkyl)amino derivatives of dithiazolium and 1,2,3-thiaselenazolium salts are protonated in concentrated sulfuric acid at the exocyclic nitrogen atom. The analogous derivatives of 2,1,3-thiaselenazolium and diselenazolium salts under the same conditions form a tautomeric mixture of dications, the position of the equilibrium between which depends on the substituent. The electronic and PMR spectra of the amination products are presented.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1499–1502, November, 1977.     

Researches on 2,1,3-thia- and selenadiazole XLV. Nitration of 4-hydroxy- and 4-ethoxybenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoIe

Nitration of 4-hydroxybenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole under conditions generally used for phenols, gave a high yield of 4-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole. The latter is readily reduced to 4-hydroxy-S-aminobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole which on treatment with orthoformic ester gives oxazolo [5,4-e]benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole. 4-Ethoxybenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole is nitrated under similar conditions, giving a high yield of a mixture of equal quantities of 4-ethoxy-S-nitro- and 4-ethoxy-7-nitrobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole.

Silicon-nitrogen bonding in silatranes: assignment of photoelectron spectra

Silicon-nitrogen bonding and the photoelectron spectra of hydro-silatrane and methyl-silatrane, XSi[OCH2CH2]3N (X = H and Me), were studied with ab initio electron propagator theory, many-body methods, and density functional models. A linear vibronic coupling (LVC) model was employed to estimate vibrational widths of the ionization bands and to study the dependence of the ionization energies on the molecular geometry. Particular attention was given to coordinates that change the Si-N distance and the strength of the donor-acceptor interaction between these two atoms. The ionization energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital has a very strong geometrical dependence which leads to an unusually large vibrational width in the corresponding photoelectron band. The assignment of this band in methyl-silatrane, which was controversial for a long time, is resolved by the present study. The calculated photoelectron spectra allow for clear assignment of at least three more bands in the observed spectra. The present results demonstrate the important role of electrostatic interactions in Si <-- N bonding and in the outer-valence ionization energies of the silatranes.     

Investigations in the field of 2,1,3-thiadiazole and 2,1,3-selenadiazole

The action of sodiomalonic ester on 4-bromomethylbenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole forms a malonate which is converted by acid hydrolysis into 4-(-carboxyethyl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole. When this reaction is carried out with 5-bromomethylbenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole, mono- and disubstituted malonic esters are formed the acid hydrolysis of which gives the corresponding acids. The nitration of 4-and 5-(-carboxyethyl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoles forms, respectively, 4-(-carboxyethyl)-5,7-dinitrobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole and 5-(-carboxyethyl)4-nitrobenzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole. The reaction of 4-bromomethylbenzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole with potassium cyanide forms two products: 4-cyanomethylbenzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole and 1,2-di(benzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole-4-yl)-2-cyanoethane.For part LVIII, see [1].

Configuration interaction calculations of the valence ionization energies of the water dimer

The eight vertical valence ionization energies of the water dimer are calculated by the ΔCI method. Excellent agreement with measurements of the first and second ionization energies is found. Calculations of the remaining six ionization energies is found. Calculations of the remaining six ionization energies are sufficiently accurate to be of value in the identification and assignment of the dimer photoelectron spectrum.     

Aryleneazachalcogenenes. 2. Photoelectron spectra and electron structures of benzo-2,1,3-thia- and-selenadiazoles and their perfluoro derivatives

The He(I) photoelectron spectra of benzo-2,1,3-thia- and -selenadiazoles and their perfluoro derivatives were measured and interpreted on the basis of calculations by the MNDO method, the -fluoro effect, and an analysis of the vibrational structures and relative intensities of the bands. It was observed that replacement of the sulfur atom by a selenium atom leads to only slight changes in the ionization energies of the MO. This confirms the previous conclusion that replacement of one chalcogen by another has a small effect on the -electron structures of the molecules of these heteroaromatic compounds.See [1] for Communication 1.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 563–567, April, 1991.

Structures and reactivities of benzo-1,2,3-dithiazolium salts and their selenium analogs

A number of benzo-1,2,3-dithiazolium chlorides (I) and their selenium analogs — benzo-1,2,3-thiaselenazolium, benzo-2,1,3-thiaselenazolium, and benzo-1,2,3-diselenazolium salts — were synthesized. The electronic structures and reactivities of the I cation and salts I–IV are discussed on the basis of a quantum-chemical calculation of cation I and the PMR spectra of salts I–IV. Successive substitution of the sulfur atoms in the I cation by selenium atoms, particularly in the 2 position, substantially increases the degree of transfer of positive charge to the condensed benzene ring. The trend of the nucleophilic reactivities of 6-methoxy derivatives of salts I–IV in the reaction with aromatic amines is the same as the trend of the degree of localization of the positive charge in the 6 position.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 912–916, July, 1978.     

Electronic structures and nonlinear optical properties of supramolecular associations of benzo-2,1,3-chalcogendiazoles by the elongation method

The investigations of one-dimensional periodic associations of benzo-2,1,3-chalcogendiazoles have been carried out by the elongation method. S, Se and Te chalcogens have been in use. For the polymers, band structures and local densities of states were extracted from ab initio calculations of electronic structure of the 15 units’ oligomers. Static electric (hyper)polarizabilities were studied by the elongation finite-field method.     

On the structure and valence ionization energies of o-benzyne

The valence ionization energies of o-benzyne, computed using a Green function method and by CI calculations at a molecular geometry optimized with the 6-31G^* basis using a two-term GVB wavefunction, suggest an assignment of the photoelectron spectrum of this molecule which differs from that given by a previous MNDO calculation. The first three ionization energies are found to be nearly degenerate.     

AM1 study of photoelectronic spectra

Ionization energies of four model compounds with known conformations,i.e., benzo-1,3-dioxole, 2-methoxyphenol, benzo-1,3-dioxole-5-carbaldehyde (piperonal), and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, have been calculated by theab initio AM1 method, using the formalized scheme of configuration interactions. It has been demonstrated that this method is adequate for the study of photoelectronic spectra of methoxy(hydroxy)-substituted benzenes. The ionization energies of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde have been calculated for various orientations of theo-methoxy(hydroxy) groups. It has been revealed that three first ionization potentials corresponding to the states with vacancies on the -MO depend on the torsion angle. It has been established by comparison of calculated and experimental ionization potentials that in gas the compounds with adjacent methoxy groups have one O-Me bond parallel with the plane of the benzene ring, while another group is nearly perpendicular to this plane. Conformations of the heavy-atom framework are planar for gaseous molecules with adjacent methoxy and hydroxy groups.For Part 7, see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.

Electron propagator calculations show that alkyl substituents alter porphyrin ionization energies

The effect of alkyl substituents on the four lowest vertical ionization energies of porphyrins is determined with ab initio electron propagator calculations on porphine and octamethylporphyrin. With the use of the partial third-order approximation, predicted ionization energies are in close agreement with recent photoelectron spectra. These data and the associated Dyson orbitals, which describe changes in electronic structure that accompany photoionization, enable assignment of photoelectron spectra and determination of alkyl-induced shifts. Hyperconjugation is most evident in the Dyson orbitals associated with the third and fourth ionization energies of octamethylporphyrin and is least prominent in the Dyson orbital of the second ionization energy. There is a positive correlation between the shift in an ionization energy produced by alkyl substitution and the degree of hyperconjugation in the associated Dyson orbital. Alkyl substitutions, therefore, may be employed to adjust the ionization energies of porphyrins and, consequently, their reactivity patterns that depend on charge-transfer capabilities and disposition to electrophilic attack.
