Refluxing 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride with p-anisidine in benzene with water removal gives the condensation product 2,3-dichloro-N-(p-MeOC6H4)maleimide (1) 75% yield. This new maleimide compound reacts with added ethanethiol in the presence of Et3N or DBU to furnish the bidentate sulfide ligand 2,3-bis(ethylthio)-N-(p-MeOC6H4)maleimide (2) in 85% yield. Each product has been characterized in solution by IR, NMR, and UV-vis spectroscopies, and the solid-state structure of 2,3-bis(ethylthio)-N-(p-MeOC6H4)maleimide was unequivocally established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. 2,3-bis(Ethylthio)-N-(p-MeOC6H4)maleimide crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 20.035(3)Å, b = 9.188(1)Å, c = 16.887(2)Å, β = 93.696(2)°, V = 3102.3(8)Å3, Z = 8, and Dcalcd = 1.385 mg/m3; R = 0.0268, Rw = 0.0676 for 2025 reflections with I > 2σ (I). The nature of the LUMO in 2,3-bis(ethylthio)-N-(p-MeOC6H4)maleimide (2) has been determined by extended Hückel molecular orbital calculations, and these data are discussed relative to the cyclic voltammetry results and other structurally relevant compounds prepared in our labs.
将 2,3-二氯马来酸酐与对甲氧基苯胺在苯中回流,除去水,得到缩合产物 2,3-二氯-N-(p-MeOC6H4)马来酰亚胺(1),收率为 75%。这种新的马来酰亚胺化合物在 Et3N 或 DBU 存在下与添加的乙硫醇反应,生成双齿硫化物配体 2,3-双(乙硫基)-N-(p-MeOC6H4)马来酰亚胺(2),收率为 85%。通过红外光谱、核磁共振和紫外-可见光谱对溶液中的每种产物进行了表征,并通过单晶 X 射线衍射分析明确确定了 2,3-双(乙硫基)-N-(p-MeOC6H4)马来酰亚胺的固态结构。2,3-双(乙硫基)-N-(对-MeOC6H4)马来酰亚胺在单斜空间群 C2/c 中结晶,a = 20.035(3)埃,b = 9.188(1)埃,c = 16.887(2)Å, β = 93.696(2)°, V = 3102.3(8)Å3, Z = 8, and Dcalcd = 1.385 mg/m3; R = 0.0268, Rw = 0.0676 for 2025 reflections with I > 2σ (I).通过扩展 Hückel 分子轨道计算,确定了 2,3-双(乙硫基)-N-(p-MeOC6H4)马来酰亚胺 (2) 中 LUMO 的性质,并结合循环伏安法结果和我们实验室制备的其他结构相关化合物对这些数据进行了讨论。
