Synthesis of new sulfanyl-, sulfinyl-, and sulfonyl-substituted polychlorobuta-1,3-dienes

详细

New R-sulfanyl-substituted polychlorobuta-1,3-dienes were synthesized by reactions of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene or 1,1,2,4,4-pentachlorobuta-1,3-diene with dimethylbenzenethiols, heptane-1-thiol, and 4-methyl-7-sulfanyl-2H-chromen-2-one. Some sulfides were oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones or brominated with bromine. Among the synthesized compounds, the coumarin derivative, 4-methyl-7-(1,2,3,4,4-pentachlorobuta-1,3-dien-1-ylsulfanyl)-2H-chromen-2-one showed fluorescence properties. 1,1′,1″-[3,4-Dichlorobuta-1,3-diene-1,1,4-triyltris(sulfanediyl)]tris(2,4-dimethylbenzene) reacted with potassium tert-butoxide in petroleum ether to afford a mixture of isomeric 1,1′,1″-[4-chlorobuta-1,2,3-triene-1,1.4-triyltris(sulfanediyl)]tris(2,4-dimethylbenzene) and 1,1′,1″-[2-chlorobut-1-en-3-yne-1,1,4-triyltris(sulfanediyl)]-tris(2,4-dimethylbenzene). The GC/MS method was found to be useful for the separation of some sulfanyl-substituted butadiene isomer mixtures. The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis, IR, and NMR (¹H, ¹³C) or fluorescence spectroscopy.
