The condensation reaction of dithiocarbonates derived from azuleno-and guaiazulenopentathiepin with vinylene trithiocarbonate and the ethylenedithio derivative in triethyl phosphite afforded azulene-based tetrathiafulvalenes [Az-TTF, Az-(EDT)TTF, GAz-TTF and GAz-(EDT)TTF], respectively. The vinylene derivatives (Az-TTF and GAz-TTF) showed slightly higher electron-donating ability than the corresponding ethylenedithio ones [Az-(EDT)TTF and GAz-(EDT)TTF] by CV measurement. GAz-TTFs produced charge transfer complexes with tetracyanoquinodimethane, respectively.
AZULENOPENTATHIEPIN: PREPARATION AND CONVERSION INTO AZULENES WITH SULFUR GROUPS AT THE 1- AND 2-POSITIONS
摘要:
Azulenopentathiepin was prepared by the reaction of azulene with elemental sulfur in boiling pyridine. Bis(thiolate) generated from the pentathiepin reacted with electrophiles such as iodomethane, methyl chloroformate, N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole and N,N'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole to afford the corresponding azulene derivatives. Desulfuration of the pentathiepin and the successive reaction with DMAD or a Pd(0) reagent afforded a 1,4-dithiin compound or Pd complexes.
