Quantum chemical studies of mechanisms of organic reactions: VI. Reaction of ethane-1,2-dithiol with vinylidene chloride

A theoretical mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of vinylidene chloride with ethane-1,2-dithiol in the system hydrazine hydrate–potassium hydroxide on the basis of DFT quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The reaction includes two consecutive stages: dehydrochlorination of vinylidene chloride to chloroacetylene and nucleophilic addition of one thiol group of ethane-1,2-dithiol to the β-carbon atom of chloroacetylene, followed by closure of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-dithiine ring via nucleophilic substitution of chlorine by sulfur atom of the second thiol group.     

One-pot synthesis of bis-1,5,3-dithiazepanes from ethane-1,2-dithiol, formaldehyde, and ammonium salts

An efficient one-pot procedure has been developed for the synthesis of bis-1,5,3-dithiazepanes by reaction of ethane-1,2-dithiol with formaldehyde and ammonium salts. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the heterorings in 3,3′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(sulfanediylmethanediyl)]bis(1,5,3-dithiazepane) in crystal adopt a chair conformation with axial orientation of the substituent on the nitrogen atom.     

Novel 1,5,3-dithiazepanes: three-component synthesis, stereochemistry, and fungicidal activity

Three-component heterocyclization of hydrazine with formaldehyde and ethane-1,2-dithiol gave previously unknown 3,3′-bi(1,5,3-dithiazepane). Its stereochemistry was determined by X-ray diffraction. The reaction with higher aliphatic aldehydes RCHO (R = Me, Et, Prⁿ, and Bun) yielded 2,4-dialkyl-3-alkylideneamino-1,5,3-dithiazepanes. The stereochemistry of the latter was determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. Heterocyclizations of phenylhydrazine and benzylhydrazine with ethane-1,2-dithiol gave 3-amino-1,5,3-dithiazepanes only with CH₂O and MeCHO as the aldehyde component. 3,3′-Bi(1,5,3-dithiazepane) and its N-adduct with MeI were found to exhibit fungicidal activity against microscopic fungi.     

Phenylethinyl-[1,3,2]dithiaphospholan. Bis(dithiaphospholanyl)-[1,4]dithian

Phenylethinyl-[1,3,2]dithiaphospholane. Bis(dithiaphospholanyl)-[1,4]dithiane Nucleophilic substitution of the amino group but no cycloaddition occurs in the reaction of phenyl phenylethinyl phosphinous acid diethylamide, 5 , with 2-aminothiophenol forming compound 6 . By analogous reaction, phenylethinyl phosphonic bis(diethylamide), 7 , and ethane-1,2-dithiol form compound 8 . Cycloaddition besides nucleophilic substitution is observed, however, when acetylene bis(phosphonic diethyl-amide), 9 , and ethane-1,2-dithiol are reacted resulting in compound 11 . All new products are characterized by their nmr, mass, and i.r. spectra. Furthermore, the results of an X-ray structure analysis of 11 are reported.     

Addition of 1,2- and 1,3-Dithiols to 2-alkoxypropenals - a New Method for the Production of Substituted Dithiacycloalkanes

The reaction of 2-alkoxypropenals with ethane-1,2-dithiols and propane-1,3-dithiols under various conditions was studied by ¹H NMR and chromato-mass spectrometry. Under kinetically controlled conditions at 20° in the absence of catalysts the addition of dithiols takes place according to the Markovnikov rule. The primary adducts are unstable and are quickly converted into the corresponding substituted 1,4-dithiacycloheptane or 1,4-dithiane. The latter in turn can be converted under the reaction conditions or at high temperature into a thiolane derivative. The reaction of 2-ethoxypropenal with a twofold excess of ethane-1,2-dithiol at 60°C in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid leads to 2-methyl-2,2'-bi(dithiolane)     

Quantum chemical study of mechanisms of organic reactions: V. Addition of ethane-1,2-dithiol to 4-hydroxy-4-methylpent-2-ynenitrile

The mechanism of nucleophilic addition of ethane-1,2-dithiol to 4-hydroxy-4-methylpent-2-ynenitrile has been studied at the DFT B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The base-catalyzed reaction involves nucleophilic attack by deprotonated ethane-1,2-dithiol on the ß-carbon atom of the nitrile with formation of intermediate Z-vinylic carbanion which undergoes intramolecular cyclization with closure of 1,3-dithiolane ring. Further transformation of 2-[2-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-1,3-dithiolan-2-yl]acetonitrile to 6,6-dimethyl-7-oxo-1,4-dithiaspiro[4.4]nonan-8-imine has also been studied.

Complexation of thallium(I) with ethane-1,2-dithiol has been studied polarographically in 25% ethanol, 0.5M-NaClO₄, 0.01M-HClO₄ and 0.002% Triton X-100. Thallium in presence of ethane-1,2-dithiol, reduces reversibly at d.m.e. and the plateau current is diffusion-controlled. The successive formation of two complexes, 1∶1 and 1∶2, is indicated byDeford andHume's method. The overall changes in the thermodynamic parameters viz. ΔG, ΔH, ΔS accompanying complexation reactions have also been reported.

Polyfunctional macroheterocycles

The reaction of 1-[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)ethyl]aziridine with ethane-1,2-dithiol leads to 1.8-bis[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)ethylamino]-3,6-dithiaoctane. Condensation with phthalic and terephthalic acid dichloride gives 9,10-benzo-8, 11-dioxo-7,12-bis[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)ethyl]-1,4-dithia-7,12-diazacyclotetradec-9-ene and 9,12-benzo-8,13-dioxo-7,14-bis[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)ethyl]-1,4-dithia-7,14-diazacyclohexadeca-9,12-diene, respectively, while condensation with formaldehyde gives 7,9,18,20-tetrakis[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)ethyl]-1,4,12,15-tetrathia-7,9,18.29-tetraazacyclodocosane. The corresponding disulfone is formed in the oxidation of 9,10-benzo-8,11-dioxo-7,12-bis[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy) ethyl]-1,4-dithia-7,12-diazacyclotetradec-9-ene with 30% hydrogen peroxide.See [1] for Communication 1.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1563–1565, November, 1988.

2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-8,8-dimethyl-5-phenyl-1-H1,4-benzodiazepin-6-one

Several approaches for the synthesis of the title compound 1 were investigated. Treatment of the ethane-1,2-diamine derivative 2 with phosphoryl chloride afforded 3-chloro-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enone (3) and 1-(5,5-dimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-enyl)-4,5-dihydro-2-phenylimidazole (4) , The reaction of 2-benzoyl-dimedone (5) with an equimolar amount of ethane-1,2-diamine led to the 2:1 adduct 6 , whereas with an excess of ethane-1,2-diamine, 4,5-dihydro-2-phenylimidazole (7) and dimedone were obtained. The synthesis of the title compound 1 was achieved by reacting 2-benzoyl-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enone (8) with ethane-1,2-diamine.     

Studies on thermoplastic polyurethanes based on new diphenylethane-derivative diols. I. Synthesis and characterization of nonsegmented polyurethanes from HDI and MDI

New aliphatic–aromatic α,ω-diols containing sulfur in aliphatic chain: 4,4′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(benzenethioethanol) [EBTE], 4,4′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(benzenethiopropanol) [EBTP], 4,4′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(benzenethiohexanol) [EBTH], 4,4′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(benzenethiodecanol) [EBTD], and 4,4′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(benzenethioundecanol) [EBTU] were prepared by the condensation reaction of 4,4′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(benzenethiol) with suitable halogen alcohols in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Thermoplastic nonsegmented polyurethanes containing sulfide linkages were synthesized from these diols, and hexane-1,6-diyl diisocyanate (HDI) or 4,4′-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) by solution and melt polymerization. The reaction was carried out at 1:1 or 1.05:1 molar ratios of isocyanate and hydroxy groups in the presence of dibutyltin dilaurate as a catalyst.The structures of the diols were determined by using elemental analysis, FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Thermal characteristics of the diols were determined by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The polymers were studied to describe their structures and physicochemical, thermal (by DSC and thermogravimetric analysis) and tensile properties as well as Shore A/D hardness.All the polyurethanes possessed partially crystalline structures. Their melting temperatures were in the range of 94–179 °C (HDI) and 105–207 °C (MDI). The MDI-based polyurethanes showed higher tensile strengths, up to ∼50 MPa.

Bis(1,5,3-dithiazepanes) have been synthesized via cyclocondensation of aliphatic α,ω-diamines and hydrazine with formaldehyde and ethane-1,2-dithiol. Palladium(II) sorption with bis(1,5,3-dithiazepanes) from nitric acid solutions has been studied via a static method. Bis(1,5,3-dithiazepanes) efficiently extract palladium(II) from 0.1?4 mol/L nitric acid solutions at room temperature.     

Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Thiocrown Ethers Derived from 1,1'-Binaphthalene-2,2'-diol

Synthetic methodology is given for the preparation of two different types of thiocrown ethers from optically pure 1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diol (10). The conceptually simplest approach starts from optically pure 10 itself, which is alkylated (4 equiv of K(2)CO(3) in DMF at 110 degrees C) with 2-chloroethanol followed by mesylation to provide 2,2'-bis(2-(mesyloxy)ethoxy)-1,1'-binaphthyl (14). When allowed to react with ethane-1,2-dithiol, propane-1,3-dithiol, 1,4,7-trithiaheptane, 1,4,8,11-tetrathiaundecane, 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-dithiol, 2-(mercaptomethyl)-1-propene-3-thiol, and 1,2-benzenedithiol in the presence of Cs(2)CO(3) in DMF at 60 degrees C the corresponding thiocrown ethers 22-25, 28, 30, and 32 are formed in 30-54% yields. Test reactions were carried out to establish that no racemization occurs during alkylation under these conditions. Reaction of optically pure 10 with tetrahydropyranyl (THP)-protected 3-chloropropanol under similar conditions for the preparation of 14 proceeded more sluggishly but cleanly. Removal of the THP protecting groups afforded 2,2'-bis(3-bromopropoxy)-1,1'-binaphthyl (20), which on reaction with propane-1,3-dithiol, 1,5,9-trithianonane, 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-dithiol, 2-(mercaptomethyl)-1-propene-3-thiol, and 1,2-bis(mercaptomethyl)benzene provided the respective thiocrown ethers 26, 27, 29, 31, and 33 in 24-68% yields. Another class of thiocrown ethers was prepared from optically active 10, which was converted via ortho-lithiation to 3,3'-bis(bromomethyl)-2,2'-dimethoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl (39) by means of methylation (K(2)CO(3)/CH(3)I), ortho-lithiation followed by formylation (n-C(4)H(9)Li/N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA)/ether followed by DMF and H(2)O workup) followed by reduction (NaBH(4)) followed by bromination (PBr(3) in C(5)H(5)N). Reaction (Cs(2)CO(3) in DMF at 60 degrees C) with 1,4,7-trithiaheptane, 1,4,8-trithiaoctane, 1,4,7,10-tetrathiadecane, 1,4,8,11-tetrathiaundecane, and 1,5,10,14-tetrathiatetradecane afforded the corresponding thiocrown ethers 40-44 in 40-75% yields. Despite repeated attempts using a wide range of reagents, demethylation of the methoxy ether functionalities failed. Attempts to prepare the free phenol derivatives of the latter type of crown ethers by oxidative coupling of two naphthol units failed.     

Condensation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2-vinyloxyethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine with carbonyl compounds

Heterocyclization of dimethyl malonate with SH acids and formaldehyde in the presence of catalysts

Three-component heterocyclization of dimethyl malonate with SH acids (H₂S, ethane-1,2-dithiol) and formaldehyde in the presence of 5 mol % of transition metal chlorides (FeCl₃, CoCl₂, NiCl₂) gave dimethyl 1,3-dithiane-5,5-dicarboxylate and dimethyl 1,4-dithiepane-6,6-dicarboxylate. The reactions in the presence of transition metal chlorides hydrates were accompanied by Krapcho decarboxylation with formation of methyl 1,3-dithiane-5-carboxylate and methyl 1,4-dithiepane-6-carboxylate.     

Quantum Chemical Study of Mechanisms of Organic Reactions: VII. Reaction of Ethane-1,2-dithiol with 1,3-Dichloropropene in the System Hydrazine Hydrate–KOH

A mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of 1,3-dichloropropene with ethane-1,2-dithiol in the system hydrazine hydrate–potassium hydroxide on the basis of DFT quantum chemical calculations [B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)]. The proposed mechanism involves several consecutive steps, in particular nucleophilic substitution of chlorine at the sp³-hybridized carbon atom by sulfur, prototropic allylic rearrangement of the monosubstitution product with double bond migration toward the sulfur atom, dithiolane ring closure via nucleophilic attack of the second thiolate group on the carbon atom in the γ-position with respect to the second chlorine atom, and prototropic allylic rearrangement of 2-vinyl-1,3-dithiolane to more stable 2-ethylidene-1,3-dithiolane.
