Calorimetric and computational study of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,3-dithiane sulfone)

The enthalpies of combustion and sublimation of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,3-dithiane sulfone) were measured by a rotating-bomb combustion calorimeter and the Knudsen effusion technique, and the gas-phase enthalpy of formation was determined, Delta(f)H(m)*(g) = -326.3 +/- 2.0 kJ mol(-1). Standard ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the G2(MP2) level were performed, and a theoretical study on molecular and electronic structure of the compound has been carried out. Calculated Delta(f)H(m)*(g) values agree very well with the experimental one. These experimental and theoretical studies support the relevance of the repulsive electrostatic interaction between sulfur atoms in 1,3-dithiane sulfone, that apparently counterbalances any n(S) --> rho(C-SO2)* stabilizing hyperconjugative interaction.     

Calorimetric and computational study of 1,3- and 1,4-oxathiane sulfones

The enthalpies of formation in the condensed and gas states, DeltafH degrees m(cd) and DeltafH degrees m(g), of 1,3- and 1,4-oxathiane sulfones were derived from their respective enthalpies of combustion in oxygen, measured by a rotating bomb calorimeter and the variation of vapor pressures with temperatures determined by the Knudsen effusion technique. Standard ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the G2(MP2) and G3 levels were performed, and a theoretical study on molecular and electronic structure of the compounds has been carried out. Calculated DeltafH degrees m(g) values at the G3 level using atomization reactions agree well with the experimental ones. These experimental and theoretical studies support that the destabilization found in 1,3-oxathiane sulfone, 11.2 kJ mol-1 respecting to 1,4-oxathiane sulfone, is due to the electrostatic repulsion between the negative charges of the axial oxygen of the sulfone and the oxygen of the ring and apparently masks any stabilization originating from the hyperconjugative nO --> sigma*C-SO2 stereoelectronic interaction.     

Polymorphism,Halogen Bonding,and Chalcogen Bonding in the Diiodine Adducts of 1,3- and 1,4-Dithiane

Through variations in reaction solvent and stoichiometry, a series of S-diiodine adducts of 1,3- and 1,4-dithiane were isolated by direct reaction of the dithianes with molecular diiodine in solution. In the case of 1,3-dithiane, variations in reaction solvent yielded both the equatorial and the axial isomers of S-diiodo-1,3-dithiane, and their solution thermodynamics were further studied via DFT. Additionally, S,S’-bis(diiodo)-1,3-dithiane was also isolated. The 1:1 cocrystal, (1,4-dithiane)·(I₂) was further isolated, as well as a new polymorph of S,S’-bis(diiodo)-1,4-dithiane. Each structure showed significant S···I halogen and chalcogen bonding interactions. Further, the product of the diiodine-promoted oxidative addition of acetone to 1,4-dithiane, as well as two new cocrystals of 1,4-dithiane-1,4-dioxide involving hydronium, bromide, and tribromide ions, was isolated.     

Perfluorotetramethylenesulfur difluoride and its derivatives. Perfluoro-1,3-dithietane octafluoride and perfluoro-1,4-dithiane octafluoride

The fluorination of perfluorotetramethylene sulfide with chlorine monofluoride under controlled conditions results in the formation of both sulfur(IV) and sulfur(VI) compounds as main products. While perfluorotetramethylenesulfur tetrafluoride is very stable to thermolysis and to chemical attack, the hydrolysis of the novel perfluorotetramethylenesulfur difluoride affords perfluorotetramethylene sulfoxide, and its pyrolysis gives perfluro(di-n-butyl)disulfide. Chlorine monofluoride converts perfluorotetramethylene sulfoxide to perfluorotetramethyl-enesulfur oxyfluoride, and perfluorotetramethylene sulfone is obtained quantitatively as a decomposition product in contact with Pyrex glass. Perfluoro-1,3-dithietane octafluoride and perfluoro-1,4-dithiane octafluoride are also formed by the reaction of corresponding perfluorocyclic sulfides with CIF at ambient temperature. Infrared, mass and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopic as well as thermodynamic data are reported.     

1,4-addition of lithiated derivatives from 1,3-dithianes to α-unsaturated aldehydes : A way to δ-carbonyl aldehydes

1,4-Addition of the lithiated derivatives of the 1,3-dithiane and 2-phenyl-1,3-dithiane on α-unsaturated aldehydes is performed in THF-HMPA ; this reaction could be an interesting way to δ-carbonyl aldehydes.     

Reaction of dihydrolipoic acid with juglone and related naphthoquinones: unmasking of a spirocyclic 1,3-dithiane intermediate en route to naphtho[1,4]dithiepines

The reaction of dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) with 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) gives rise to the novel naphtho[1,4]dithiepine derivatives through ring expansion of an unstable spirocyclic 1,3-dithiane intermediate, which was isolated and completely characterized. Reported herein is also the characterization of novel reaction products of DHLA with other naphthoquinones and the extension of the study to the spirocyclic adduct formed by reaction with a representative 2-substituted naphthoquinone.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted 2-aminomethylenecycloalkanones. V. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4′-aminospiro [1,3-dithiane-2,3′-(5′,6′-polymethylene-3′,4′-dihydro-α-pyrones)]

The reaction of 2-carbonyl-1,3-dithiane, a sulfene prepared in situ from 2-chloroearbonyl-1,3-dithiane and triethylamine, with N,N-disubstituted 2-aminomethylvnecycloalkanones gave the 1,4-cycloadducts, namely N,N-disubstituted 4′-aminospiro[1,3-dithiane-2,3′-(5′,6′-poly-methylene-3′,4′-dihydro-α-pyrones)].     

An Ab Initio Study of Conformational Energies in Dioxo-, Trioxo-, and Tetroxo-Dithianes

Ab initio Hartree–Fock calculations at the HF/6-31G* level of theory for geometry optimization and the MP2/6-31G*//HF/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-311G(2df,p)//HF/6-31G* levels for a single point total energy calculation are reported for the important energy-minimum conformations of 1,1-dioxo-thiane (2), 1,1-dioxo-1,2-dithiane (3), 1,1-dioxo-1,3-dithiane (4), 1,1-dioxo-1,4-dithiane (5), 1,1,2-trioxo-1,2-dithiane (6), 1,1,3-trioxo-1,3-dithiane (7), 1,1,4-trioxo-1,4-dithiane (8), 1,1,2,2-tetroxo-1,2-dithiane (9), 1,1,3,3-tetroxo-1,3-dithiane (10), and 1,1,4,4-tetroxo-1,4-dithiane (11). According to the MP2/6-31G*//HF/6-31G* calculations, compound 5 is more stable than 3 and 4 by 7.8 and 8.9 kJ mol^?1, respectively. The axial geometries of 6 and 8 are more stable than the equatorial forms by 21.4 and 19.1 kJ mol^?1, respectively, but the equatorial form of 7 is 4.1 kJ mol^?1 more stable than the axial geometry. Compound 11 is more stable than 9 and 10 by 49.3 and 31.0 kJ mol^?1, respectively.     

A computational study of conformational interconversions in 1,4-dithiacyclohexane (1,4-dithiane)

Ab initio molecular orbital theory with the 6-31G(d), 6-31G(d,p), 6-31+G(d), 6-31+G(d,p), 6-31+G(2d,p), 6-311G(d), 6-311G(d,p), and 6-311+G(2d,p) basis sets and density functional theory (BLYP, B3LYP, B3P86, B3PW91) have been used to locate transition states involved in the conformational interconversions of 1,4-dithiacyclohexane (1,4-dithiane) and to calculate the geometry optimized structures, relative energies, enthalpies, entropies, and free energies of the chair and twist conformers. In the chair and 1,4-twist conformers the C-Hax and C-Heq bond lengths are equal at each carbon, which suggest an absence of stereoelectronic hyperconjugative interactions involving carbon-hydrogen bonds. The 1,4-boat transition state structure was 9.53 to 10.5 kcal/mol higher in energy than the chair conformer and 4.75 to 5.82 kcal/mol higher in energy than the 1,4-twist conformer. Intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculations showed that the 1,4-boat transition state structure was the energy maximum in the interconversion of the enantiomers of the 1,4-twist conformer. The energy difference between the chair conformer and the 1,4-twist conformer was 4.85 kcal/mol and the chair-1,4-twist free energy difference (deltaG degrees (c-t)) was 4.93 kcal/mol at 298.15 K. Intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculations connected the transition state between the chair conformer and the 1,4-twist conformer. This transition state is 11.7 kcal/mol higher in energy than the chair conformer. The effects of basis sets on the 1,4-dithiane calculations and the relative energies of saturated and unsaturated six-membered dithianes and dioxanes are also discussed.     

Synthesis of amorphous copoly(thioether sulfone)s with high refractive indices and high Abbe numbers

New thermoplastic random copoly(thioether sulfone)s with high refractive indices and high Abbe numbers have been developed by the simultaneous introduction of sulfide, sulfone, and alicyclic units in the polymer chains. They were prepared by random copolymerization of 2,5-bis(sulfanylmethyl)-1,4-dithiane (BMMD) and cyclohexane-1,4-dithiol (CHDT) with divinyl sulfone (DVS) based on the Michael polyaddition. Tough, flexible, colorless and transparent copoly(thioether sulfone) (poly(BMMD/CHDT-DVS)) films were obtained, and they showed good thermal stability with the 5% weight-loss at temperatures over 300 °C in nitrogen, and the glass transition temperatures of 42-50 °C. The inherent amorphous nature of films was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. Poly(BMMD/CHDT-DVS) exhibited quite high level of refractive indices and Abbe numbers as thermoplastics, in the range of 1.6512-1.6022 and 42.6-50.6, respectively. The experimental refractive indices and their wavelength dispersions were well reproduced by the DFT calculations with the aid of empirical density prediction.     

Controlling neighbouring group participation from thioacetals

A 1,3-dithiane displaces tosylate by a 5-exo-tet cyclisation to give a bicyclic sulfonium salt. Nucleophilic attack on this 4-thia-7a-thioniaperhydroindene by azide ions kinetically favours opening to give a nine-membered ring α-azidosulfide, but 2-(3′-azidopropyl)-1,3-dithiane is the thermodynamic product from B3LYP/6-31G** calculations. A similar sulfonium salt generated from 2-(3′-hydroxypropyl)-1,3-dithiane with thionyl chloride rearranges to 2-(3′-chloropropyl)-1,3-dithiane. Azide ion displacement of the primary alkyl chloride is then faster than [1.4] sulfanyl participation from the thioacetal. An α-chlorosulfide derived from diphenyldithioacetal does not rearrange but undergoes direct displacement to give an α-azidosulfide.     

An Unexpected Synthesis of the 1,4-Dithiaepino-furan-2-one System

4-Cyclohexyl-3-(1′,3′-dithianyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid methyl ester 2, prepared by alkylation of cyclohexanoyl-1,3-dithiane 1, undergoes a basepromoted rearrangement affording the 1,4-dithiaepino-furan-2-one system.     

Conformational Energies in Organic Six-Membered Cyclic Sulfoxides

Ab initio Hartree–Fock calculations at the HF/6?31 G* level of theory for geometry optimization and the MP2/6?31 G*//HF/6?31 G* and B3LYP/6-311G(2df,p)//HF/6?31 G* levels for a single point total energy calculation are reported for the important energy-minimum conformations of 1-oxo-thiane (1), 1-oxo-1,2-dithiane (2), 1-oxo-1,3-dithiane (3), 1-oxo-1,4-dithiane (4), 1,2-dioxo-1,2-dithiane (5), 1,3-dioxo-1,3-dithiane (6), and 1,4-dioxo-1,4-dithiane (7). According to the MP2/6-31G*//HF/6-31G* calculations, while the axial conformations of compounds 1, 2, and 4 are more stable than the equatorial forms by 6.0, 20.0, and 9.9 kJ mol^?1, respectively, the equatorial geometry of 3 is 3.0 kJ mol^?1 more stable than the axial form. The diaxial conformations of 5 and 7 are calculated to have similar energies, but the diaxial form of 6 is about 43 kJ mol^?1 less stable than that of 5 or 7.     

Thermochemistry of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1-oxide (1,3-dithiane sulfoxide): calorimetric and computational study

The enthalpies of combustion and sublimation of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1-oxide (1,3-dithiane sulfoxide, 2) were measured by a rotating-bomb combustion calorimeter and the Knudsen effusion technique, and the gas-phase enthalpy of formation was determined, DeltafH degrees m(g) = -98.0 +/- 1.9 kJ mol(-1). This value is not as large (negative) as could have been expected from comparison with thermochemical data available for the thiane/thiane oxide reference system. High-level ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the MP2(FULL)/6-31G(3df,2p) level were performed, and the optimized molecular and electronic structures of 2 afforded valuable information on (1) the relative conformational energies of 2-axial and 2-equatorial--the latter being 7.1 kJ mol(-1) more stable than 2-axial, (2) the possible involvement of nS --> sigma*(C-S(O)) hyperconjugation in 2-equatorial, (3) the lack of computational evidence for sigma(S-C) --> sigma*(S-O) stereoelectronic interaction in 2-equatorial, and (4) the relevance of a repulsive electrostatic interaction between sulfur atoms in 1,3-dithiane sulfoxide, which apparently counterbalances any nS --> sigma*(C-S(O)) stabilizing hyperconjugative interaction and accounts for the lower than expected enthalpy of formation for sulfoxide 2.     

Thermophysical properties of sulfur heterocycles: Thiane and thiophene derivatives

The present study reports a DSC study of the sulfur heterocyclic compounds: 2,2’-bithiophene [492-97-7]; 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid [4282-31-9]; 3-acetylthiophene [1468-83-3]; 2-thiopheneacetic acid [1918-77-0]; 3-thiopheneacetic acid [6964-21-2]; 1,4-dithiane sulfone [139408-38-1]; 1,3-oxathiane-3,3-dioxide (1,3-oxathiane sulfone) [109577-03-9] and 1,4-oxathiane-4,4-dioxide (1,4-oxathiane sulfone) [107-61-9] in the temperature interval T = 268 K and the melting temperatures. Temperatures, enthalpies and entropies of fusion are reported. 1,4-Oxathiane sulfone presents solid-solid phase transitions near to fusion. No additional solid-solid phase transitions were observed for the other solid compounds. For the compounds that are solids over the temperature interval, the heat capacity of the condensed phase was measured. Heat capacities at T = 298.15 K for the liquids 2-acetylthiophene [88-15-3]; methyl, 2-thiopheneacetate [19432-68-9]; methyl, 3-thiopheneacetate [58414-52-1] and thiazole [288-47-1] were also measured. The C_p,m (298.15 K) values obtained in this work were compared with the available experimental data and with values estimated with group contribution schemes.     

Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines XXXVI . The formation of 1,3-dihydro and 1,5-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepines from tosyl and Mesyl - substituted 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-5-phenyl- 1,4-benzodiazepine derivatives

The treatment of 4-sulfonyl derivatives of 5-phenyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones (I) with base was shown to result in the formation of 1,3-dihydro or 1,5-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones (III and II respectively) depending upon the conditions used. The base treatment of 1-sulfonyl substituted 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepines (V) was shown to give the vinylimines VI.     

Reaction of dichlorocarbene with 2,3-dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-1,4-oxathiin and 2,3-dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-1,4-dithiin

Dichlorocarbene, generated from ethyl trichloroacetate and sodium ethoxide, reacts with 2,3-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-oxathiin to give 7,7-dichloro-1,6-dimethyl-2-oxa-5-thiabicyclo[4,1,0]heptane, and with 2,3-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin to give 6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-7-methyl 5-methylene-5(H)-1,4-dithiepin. Both products were oxidised to the corresponding sulfone.     

Isotope effects as mechanistic probes in solution and in intrazeolite photooxygenations. The formation of a hydroperoxysulfonium ylide

The reactions of singlet oxygen with 2,2,6,6-tetradeuterio-1,4-dithiane have been examined in acetone and methanol, and in the interior of the zeolite NaY. The product isotope effects k(H)/k(D) have been measured for sulfoxide and, when possible, for sulfone formation. The results provide evidence for a hydroperoxysulfonium ylide intermediate in acetone, a hydrogen bonded or sulfurane intermediate in methanol, and an interesting equilibrium between two complexed forms of the substrate in NaY.     

Divergent regioselective synthesis of 2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-1,4-diazepin-2-ones and 5H-1,4-benzodiazepines

A novel and simple one-pot synthesis of 3-substituted 2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-1,4-diazepin-2-ones from 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes (DDs) and N-unsubstituted aliphatic 1,3-diamines is described. Here we also report a procedure to selectively obtain alkyl 5H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3-carboxylates from the DDs and 2-aminobenzylamine. Both processes occur by means of sequential 1,4-conjugated addition followed by regioselective 7-exo cyclization. The behavior of N-methyl- and N,N'-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropanes toward the DDs furnished pyrazol-3-ones and bis-α-aminohydrazones, respectively.
