Researches on aromatic heterocyclic compounds III. The aromatic character of piazthiol

The PMR spectra of piazthiol, which is benzo[1,2-c]-[1,2,5]-thiodiazole, and of its- and-nitro, chloro, methyl and amino derivatives are investigated. The effects of these substituents on the chemical shift is in qualitative agreement with the like effects in the benzene series. The parameters of the corresponding PMR spectra are greatly dependent on the electrophilic action of the heterocyclic ring. It is shown that there is conjugation in the thiadiazole ring, although, however, it is much weakened compared with that existing in the benzene ring.For Part II see [10].The authors thank V. F. Bystrov for discussions, and for making the double resonance measurements with-methylpiazthiol in a JNM-C-60 spectrometer.
