A method is provided for preparing alkenylthiophenols, e.g. para-vinylthiophenol, or their esters, e.g., para-vinylthiophenol acetate by reacting a hydroxy aromatic ketone, e.g., 4-hydroxyacetophenone (4-HAP) with an N,N-di(organo)thiocarbamoyl halide, e.g., N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride (DMTC) to form an O-(acylaryl) N,N-di(organo)thiocarbamate, e.g., O-(4ʹ-acetophenyl) N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate, and pyrolytically rearranging the latter compound to form an S-(acylaryl) N,N-di(organo)thiocarbamate, e.g., S-(4ʹ-acetophenyl) N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate. In one procedure, the latter compound is directly reduced to form an S-(1-hydroxyalkylaryl) N,N-di(organo) thiocarbamate, e.g., S-[4ʹ-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenyl] N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate, which is either hydrolyzed to form a (1-hydroxyalkyl) thiophenol, e.g., 4ʹ-(1-hydroxyethyl) thiophenol, which, optionally after acylation of its thiol group, is dehydrated to form the alkenylthiophenol wherein the double bond is at the ring-bonded carbon atom, e.g., para-vinylthiophenol, or the S-(1-hydroxyalkylaryl) N,N-di(organo) thiocarbamate is dehydrated to form an S-(alkenylaryl) N,N-di(organo) thiocarbamate, e.g., S-(4-vinylphenyl) N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate which is hydrolyzed to form the alkenylthiophenol. In an alternative procedure, the S-(acylaryl) N,N-di(organo)thiocarbamate is hydrolyzed and the resulting thiol acylated with an acylating agent, e.g., acetyl chloride, to produce an acylthiophenol ester, e.g., 4-acetothiophenol acetate, which is then reduced and hydrolyzed to produce the (1-hydroxyalkyl) thiophenol. The latter compound is then dehydrated to produce the alkenylthiophenol, or acylated and dehydrated to produce the alkenylthiophenol thioester, as described in the first procedure.
本发明提供了一种制备烯基苯硫酚(如对乙烯基苯硫酚)或其酯类(如对乙烯基苯硫酚乙酸酯)的方法,该方法通过使羟基芳香酮(如 4-羟基苯乙酮(4-HAP))与 N,N-二(有机)硫代氨基甲酰卤(如 N,N-二甲基硫代氨基甲酰氯(DMTC))反应,生成 O-(酰基)N,N-二(有机)硫代氨基甲酸酯(如 N,N-二甲基硫代氨基甲酰氯(DMTC))、N,N-二甲基硫代氨基甲酰氯(DMTC)形成 O-(酰基)N,N-二(有机)硫代氨基甲酸酯,如O-(4ʹ-乙酰苯基) N,N-二甲基硫代氨基甲酸酯,并对后一种化合物进行热解重排,形成 S-(酰基) N,N-二(有机)硫代氨基甲酸酯,例如 S-(4ʹ-乙酰苯基) N,N-二甲基硫代氨基甲酸酯。在一种工艺中,后一种化合物被直接还原形成 S-(1-羟基烷基芳基) N,N-二(有机)硫代氨基甲酸酯,例如 S-[4ʹ-(1-羟乙基)苯基] N,N-二甲基硫代氨基甲酸酯,后者被水解形成(1-羟基烷基)噻吩酚,例如4ʹ-(1-羟乙基)噻吩酚,该噻吩酚可选择在其硫醇基酰化后脱水形成烯基噻吩酚,其中双键位于环键碳原子上,例如S-(1-羟基烷基芳基) N,N-二(有机)硫代氨基甲酸酯脱水形成 S-(烯基芳基) N,N-二(有机)硫代氨基甲酸酯,例如 S-(4-乙烯基苯基) N,N-二甲基硫代氨基甲酸酯,水解形成烯基苯硫酚。另一种方法是将 S-(酰基)N,N-二(有机)硫代氨基甲酸酯水解,所得硫醇与酰化剂(如乙酰氯)酰化,生成酰基苯硫酚酯(如 4-乙酰苯硫酚乙酸酯),然后将其还原和水解,生成(1-羟基烷基)苯硫酚。然后将后一种化合物脱水生成烯基苯硫酚,或者如第一种方法所述,将其酰化并脱水生成烯基苯硫酚硫酯。
