Synthesis,structural characterization and solubility of 2-(1-substituted-1,11-undecylidene)-5-arylimino-△~3 -1,3,4-thiadiazolines

A series of novel 2-（1-substituted-1,11-undecylidene）-5-arylimino-△^3-1,3,4-thiadiazolines （4） were synthesized and their structure was characterized by ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR and elemental analysis. Their solubility in both polar and non-polar solvents is significantly improved owing to the introduction of ethyl or methylthio group at cyclododecyl ring as compared with parent compounds [1, 2-（1,11-undecylidene）-5-arylimino-△^3-1,3,4-thiadiazolines]. However, their fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani is less than that of parent compounds. X-ray diffraction analysis of a representative compound （4d） showed that the conformation of 12-membered ring is still [3333], in which the ethyl group present at the side-exo position and the thiadiazoline ring at the comer carbon. The thiadiazoline plane is perpendicular to the cyclododecyl one.

Theoretical Study on the Mechanism of a New Synthesis Reaction of 1,3,5-Substituted-1,2,4-triazoles by Carboxylic Acids,Amidines,and Hydrazines

The synthesis of 1,3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazoles from α-imino-3-pyridine formic acid,acetamidine and anisole hydrazine as a model reaction in this paper and the synthesis mechanism of 1,3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole compounds from carboxylic acids,amidines and hydrazines have been first investigated with the B3 LYP/6-311＋＋G＊＊ method.According to the potential energy profile,it can be predicted that the course of the reaction consists of five reactions containing six elementary reactions.The α-imino-3-pyridine formic acid and acetamidine form first an intermediate product through a dehydration reaction; the intermediate product further combines with hydrogen ion to form a positive ion; the positive ion reacts with anisole hydrazine by a dehydration reaction to form another positive ion; then,followed by two isomerization reactions,the final reaction with the acetate ion（Ac-） produces the final product.The research results reveal the laws of synthesis reaction of 1,3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazoles by the carboxylic acids,amidines,hydrazines and their derivatives on theoretical level.It provides the systemic theoretical basis for the synthesis,development and application of 1,3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole compounds.

FeCl₃Catalyzed One Pot Synthesis of 1-Substituted 1H-1,2,3,4-Tetrazoles under Solvent-Free Conditions

An efficient procedure for the preparation of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles via a three-component condensation of triethyl orthoformate, amine, and trimethylsilyl azide using inexpensive and environment-friendly FeCl3 as catalyst under solvent-free conditions has been reported. The reaction generates the corresponding 1-substituted tetrazole in excellent yields.

New thiopyran-4-spiro-2′-(1,3-dithiolane):Formation mechanism and crystal structure

Ethylene trithiocarbonate reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to furnish tetramethyl thiopyran-4-spiro-2＇-（1,3- dithiolane）-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylate,a new thiopyran-4-spiro-2＇-（1,3-dithiolane） heterocyclic compound,as the minor product together with the major product dimethyl 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate.The new heterocycle was probably formed through a[2 ＋ 2]cycloaddition between ethylene trithiocarbonate and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate followed by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or[4 ＋ 2]cycloaddition.Crystal structure of the new compound revealed that the thiopyran ring and 1,3-dithiolane moiety were perpendicular to each other.
