2,5-dihalothiophenes in the reaction with chlorosulfonic acid

The mixtures of mono-and dihalothiophenesulfonyl chlorides, formed in the sulfochlorination reaction of 2,5-dichlorothiophene and 2,5-dibromothiophene, were treated with aqueous ammonia and thus converted into mixtures of the corresponding stable thiophenesulfonamides. The structure and composition of the latter were studied by physicochemical methods: GC-MS and ¹H, ¹³C, ¹H-¹³C HSQC, ¹H-¹³C HMBC, and NOESY NMR spectroscopy. As a result of the above chemical transformations, 2,5-dichlorothiophene afforded a mixture of 5-chlorothiophene-2-sulfonamide and 4,5-dichlorothiophene-3-sulfonamide in a roughly 70:30 ratio. In the case of 2,5-dibromothiophene, a mixture of 5-bromothiophene-2-sulfonamide, 4,5-dibromothiophene-3-sulfonamide, and 3,5-dibromothiophene-2-sulfonamide (3:54:43) was formed.

Synthesis of unsaturated organoselenium compounds via the reaction of organic diselenides with 2,3-dichloro-1-propene in the hydrazine hydrate-KOH system

Dimethyldiselenide reacts with 2,3-dichloro-1-propene at 20–25°C in the hydrazine hydrate-KOH medium to form 2-chloro-3-methylselanyl-1-propene with 90% yield. Diphenyldiselenide in the reaction with 2,3-dichloro-1-propene, depending on the conditions, can give quite selectively four products: 2-chloro-3-phenylselanyl-1-propene, phenylselanylpropadiene, 1-phenylselanyl-1-propyne, and Z-1,2-bis(phenylselanyl)-1-propene. The effect of the selenium atom on the reaction direction and the products structure is discussed.     

1,4-Dichalcogenins: Synthesis from Dichloroethenes and Elemental Chalcogens in a Hydrazine Hydrate–Potassium Hydroxide System

Synthesis of 2-methyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)- and 2-methyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)benzenesulfonamides from N,N-dichloro-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide and trichloroethylene

The reaction of N,N-dichloro-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide with trichloroethylene gave a new representative of highly electrophilic N-sulfonyl polyhaloaldehyde imines, 2-methyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene) benzenesulfonamide. High reactivity of the product was demonstrated in the addition of water and 2-methylbenzenesulfonamide and reactions with benzene, toluene, anisole, thiophene, and 2-chlorothiophene. N,N-Dichlorobenzenesulfonamides and N,N-dichlorotrifluoromethanesulfonamide failed to react with 1,1,3,3,4,4-hexachlorobut-1-ene and 1,1,2,3,4-pentachlorobuta-1,3-diene under the conditions ensuring formation of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides from N,N-dichloroarenesulfonamides and trichloroethylene.     

Specific features of the reactions of 2,3-dichloro-1-propene with dibenzylchalcogenides in the system hydrazine hydrate-alkali

Dibenzyldisulfide and -diselenide react with 2,3-dichloro-1-propene in the system hydrazine hydrate-KOH by the domino mechanism: nucleophilic substitution of the allyl chlorine, dehydrochlorination with participation of the chlorine atom at the sp ²-carbon atom, allene-acetylene rearrangement, nucleophilic addition of the chalcogenide reagent to the triple bond. The effect of the nature of the chalcogen atom and the benzyl substituent on the studied domino reaction is discussed.     

Chalcogenation of 1,4-dichlorobut-2-yne with organic dichalcogenides in the system hydrazine hydrate–KOH

A reaction of organic dichalcogenides R₂Y₂ (R = Ph, Bn, Pr; Y = S, Se) with 1,4-dichlorobut-2-yne in the system hydrazine hydrate–KOH leads to four principal products: 1,4-bis(organylchalcogenyl)but-2-ynes, 1-organylchalcogenylbut-1-en-3-ynes, 4-organylchalcogenylbut-1-en-3-ynes, and 3(5)-methylpyrazole. The selectivity of the formation of individual products is determined by the ratio of the substrates used and the reaction temperature. A plausible mechanism of chalcogenation considered in the work agrees with the effect of the nature of chalcogene atoms and organic substituents R on stability of intermediates and products. The stabilization of carbanions by α chalcogene-containing groups corresponds to the following order: PhS > PhSe > BnS > BnSe > PrS.     

Sulfonamidation of halogen-substituted electrophiles with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)arenesulfonamides

Reactions of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)arenesulfonamides with primary alkyl bromides and iodides, allyl bromide, chloroacetonitrile, and benzyl chloride in acetonitrile on heating in the presence of potassium carbonate gave the corresponding N-alkyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)arenesulfonamides.     

Cascade synthesis of 2-amino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole by reaction of 4-chloro-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-[2,2-dichloro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyl]benzenesulfonamide with thiourea

4-Chloro-N-[2,2-dichloro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyl]benzenesulfonamide reacted with thiourea on heating in DMF in the presence of sodium carbonate to give 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-2-amine. A probable reaction scheme includes cyclization of the initial N-dichloroethyl amide to N-sulfonyl-2,3-diaryl-2-chloroaziridine which undergoes isomerization with opening of the three-membered ring to 1-arylsulfonylamino-2-chloro-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylethene. The subsequent heterocyclization in the reaction with thiourea is accompanied by aromatization via elimination of the arenesulfonamide fragment.
