Interaction of 1,3,2,4-benzodithiadiazines with aromatic phosphines and phosphites

Although an interaction between hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon 1,3,2,4-benzodithiadiazines (1 ) and P(C6H5)3 continuously produces chiral 1,2,3-benzodithiadiazol-2-yl iminophosporanes (2; in this work, 5,7-difluoro derivative 2a ) via 1:1 condensation, an interaction between 1 and other PR3 reagents gives different products. With R [DOUBLE BOND] OC6H5 and both hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon 1, only X=P(OC6H5)3 (X = S, O) were identified in the complex reaction mixtures by 13С and 31Р NMR and GC-MS. With R = C6F5, no interaction with the archetypal 1 was observed but catalytic addition of atmospheric water to the heterocycle afforded 2-amino-N-sulfinylbenzenesulfenamide (4 ). With electrophilic B(C6F5)3 instead of nucleophilic P(C6F5)3, only adduct H3N→B(C6F5)3 and a new polymorph of C6F5B(OH)2 were isolated and identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). A molecular structure of 2a was confirmed by XRD, and the π-stacked orientation of one of phenyl groups and heterocyclic moiety was observed. This structure is in general agreement with that calculated at the RI-MP2 level of theory, as well as at three different levels of DFT theory with the PBE and B3LYP functionals. Mild thermolysis of 2a in a dilute decane solution gave persistent 5,7-difluoro-1,2,3-benzodithiazolyl (3a ) identified by EPR in combination with DFT calculations

Fused 1,2,3-dithiazoles: convenient synthesis, structural characterization, and electrochemical properties

A new general protocol for synthesis of fused 1,2,3-dithiazoles by the reaction of cyclic oximes with S2Cl2 and pyridine in acetonitrile has been developed. The target 1,2,3-dithiazoles fused with various carbocycles, such as indene, naphthalenone, cyclohexadienone, cyclopentadiene, and benzoannulene, were selectively obtained in low to high yields. In most cases, the hetero ring-closure was accompanied by chlorination of the carbocyclic moieties. With naphthalenone derivatives, a novel dithiazole rearrangement (15→13) featuring unexpected movement of the dithiazole ring from α- to β-position, with respect to keto group, was discovered. Molecular structure of 4-chloro-5H-naphtho[1,2-d][1,2,3]dithiazol-5-one 13 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical properties of 13 were studied by cyclic voltammetry and a complex behavior was observed, most likely including hydrodechlorination at a low potential

The structure revealed alternating layers of the cations and anions with the Mes ligands perpendicular, and the anions tilted by 45°, to the layer plane. At 300 K the effective magnetic moment of 2 is equal to 2.40 μB (theoretically expected 2.45 μB) and monotonically decreases with lowering of the temperature. In the temperature range 2−300 K, the molar magnetic susceptibility of 2 is well-described by the Curie-Weiss law with parameters C and θ equal to 0.78 cm3⋅K⋅mol–1 and −31.2 K, respectively. Overall, the magnetic behavior of 2 is similar to that of [CrTol2]+[1]– and [CrCp*2]+[1]–, i.e. changing the cation [MAr2]+ 3d atom M = Cr (Z = 24) with weak spin-orbit coupling (SOC) to a 4d atom M = Mo (Z = 42) with stronger SOC does not affect macroscopic magnetic properties of the salts. For the XRD structure of salt 2, parameters of the Heisenberg spin-Hamiltonian were calculated using the broken-symmetry DFT and CASSCF approaches, and the complex 3D magnetic structure with both the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AF) exchange interactions was revealed with the latter as dominating. Salt 2 is thermally unstable and slowly loses the Mes ligands upon storage at ambient temperature. Under the same reaction conditions, interaction of 1 with MoTol2 (Tol = toluene) proceeded with partial loss of the Tol ligands to afford diamagnetic product.PostprintPostprintPeer reviewe
