Sterically Stabilized Cyclopropenonophanes and an Electronically Stabilized Cyclopropenethionophane: Syntheses, Structural Properties, and Reactivity
摘要:
The syntheses of sterically stabilized cyclopropenonophanes as well as an electronically stabilized cyclopropenethionophane are reported, and their molecular structures in the solid state are elucidated. The sulfur of the CS moiety in cyclopropenethiones was shown to react as a nucleophile. Temperatures of more than 240 degreesC favor the extrusion of CO in the cyclopropenonophane to afford an alpha,alpha'-tetramethyl-substituted cyclodiyne.
Tethered Dithiacyclopropenones. Syntheses and Structural Properties of Tetrathiacyclopropenonophanes
摘要:
The reaction of the cyclic tetrathiadiynes 4(m.n) (where m and n indicate the number of methylene groups between the dithiaacetylene units) with sodium trichloroacetate and subsequent hydrolysis of the gem-dichlorocyclopropenes afforded the mono- and biscyclopropenone derivatives 5(m.n) and 6(m.n) in moderate yields. Investigation of the X-ray crystal structures revealed small torsion angles between the CH2-S bond and the C-C double bond, indicating conjugation between the sulfur 3p lone pair and the cyclopropenone ring. The maintenance of the conjugation determines the secondary structure of both (5, 6) ring systems.
