Halogenation of N-substituted p-quinone imines and p-quinone oxime esters: IV. Chlorination and bromination of N-arylsulfonyl-2(3)-methyl(2-chloro)-1,4-benzoquinone monoimines
摘要:
The addition of halogens to N-arylsulfonyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines, which exist in a solution as Z and E isomers, is controlled by the steric factor. Z-E Isomerization strongly affects the stability of cyclohexene structures formed by halogenation of 1,4-benzoquinone imines. The halogenation of N-arylsulfonyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines was found to be accompanied by prototropic rearrangement.
The study of chlorination of N-(N-arylsulfonylarylimidoyl)-1,4-benzoquinone imines and of N-(N-arylsulfonylarylimidoyl)-1,4-aminophenols revealed that the dominant stage in the process was the formation of cyclohexene structures, 4-(N-arylsulfonylarylimidoyl)imino-2,5,6-trichloro-2-cyclohexene-1-ones, resulting from addition of a Cl-2 molecule across the C=C bond of the quinoid ring. These substances suffer a prototropic rearrangements yielding N-(N-arylsulfonylarylimidoyl)-2,3,6-trichloro-4-aminophenols. The latter are the most common reaction products. The products of deeper chlorination were also obtained.

Quantum-chemical calculations and X-ray diffraction data for a series of N-substituted p-quinonimines showed that the PM3 method is the most suitable for determination of geometric parameters of these compounds. Moreover, it can be used to predict the site of addition of chlorine and bromine in the hydrohalogenation reaction.
