McKendry September 27 3 I965 INTRODUCTION Until recently, very little work had been done with perfluorothiocarbonyl com- pounds. Middleton and others have now developed general preparations and have found that the reactions of these compounds are often different and always more vigorous than those of the corresponding perfluorocarbonyl compounds PREPARATION OF PERFLUOROTHIOKETONES A significant preparation of hexafluorothioacetone (60/0 yield) published by Middleton, Howard, and Sharkey 1 of duPont involves the reaction of bis(heptafluoro- isopropyl) mercury5 with sulfur vapor at k^0° The fluorine magnetic resonance spectrum of the resulting product consisted of a single unsplit signal, the infrared spectrum showed a broad thiocarbonyl peak between 7«5 and 9\i, and the mass spectrum gave a parent ion of m/e 1.82. CF3 CF3 S This reaction is reported to S o have wide applicability. kE- FC-Hg-CFvc wrr rv -> CFrv —rC — CFnw 4- HgFTTo-i? ^ > 2 3 3 + 2 Perfluorobutane-2-thione and 4- CF3 CF3 chloroperfluorobutane-2-thione have been prepared from bis(4H- T TT octafluoro-2-butyl) mercury and bis (4-chlorooctafluoro-2-butyl) mercury, respectively. At lower temperatures the combination of reagents produces di- and polysulfides as the only products , These can be defluorinated by means of triphenylphosphine to yield the dimeric 1,3- dithietanes of the corresponding perfluorothioketones, which in turn can be pyrolyzed to give the desired thioke tones in high yields „ Thus, in the preparation of hexafluorothioacetone, 2,2,4 ,4-tetrakis( trifluoromethyl) =l,3«dithietane is obtained as the dimer Middleton feels that the perfluorothioketone is initially formed but that it dimerizes in the presence of triphenylphosphine. It is remark (CgHg)gP (CgH,^) P p> j- i;i -j 3 ^ Soo^ CF3-C-CF3 able that triphenylphosphine removes the fluorine rather than the sulfur. A possible sequence for the cleavage of the disulfide involves the removal of fluorine by triphenylphosphine, leaving a highly reactive anion as an intermediate.

Martin has reported that thiocarbonyl fluoride is the major product if the reaction is carried out over activated charcoal.

  • Stabilization of Anti-Aromatic and Strained Five-Membered Rings with A
    ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 23 JUNE 2013 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.1690 Stabilization of anti-aromatic and strained five-membered rings with a transition metal Congqing Zhu1, Shunhua Li1,MingLuo1, Xiaoxi Zhou1, Yufen Niu1, Minglian Lin2, Jun Zhu1,2*, Zexing Cao1,2,XinLu1,2, Tingbin Wen1, Zhaoxiong Xie1,Paulv.R.Schleyer3 and Haiping Xia1* Anti-aromatic compounds, as well as small cyclic alkynes or carbynes, are particularly challenging synthetic goals. The combination of their destabilizing features hinders attempts to prepare molecules such as pentalyne, an 8p-electron anti- aromatic bicycle with extremely high ring strain. Here we describe the facile synthesis of osmapentalyne derivatives that are thermally viable, despite containing the smallest angles observed so far at a carbyne carbon. The compounds are characterized using X-ray crystallography, and their computed energies and magnetic properties reveal aromatic character. Hence, the incorporation of the osmium centre not only reduces the ring strain of the parent pentalyne, but also converts its Hu¨ckel anti-aromaticity into Craig-type Mo¨bius aromaticity in the metallapentalynes. The concept of aromaticity is thus extended to five-membered rings containing a metal–carbon triple bond. Moreover, these metal–aromatic compounds exhibit unusual optical effects such as near-infrared photoluminescence with particularly large Stokes shifts, long lifetimes and aggregation enhancement. romaticity is a fascinating topic that has long interested Results and discussion both experimentalists and theoreticians because of its ever- Synthesis, characterization and reactivity of osmapentalynes.

  • Cycloalkanes, Cycloalkenes, and Cycloalkynes
    CYCLOALKANES, CYCLOALKENES, AND CYCLOALKYNES any important hydrocarbons, known as cycloalkanes, contain rings of carbon atoms linked together by single bonds. The simple cycloalkanes of formula (CH,), make up a particularly important homologous series in which the chemical properties change in a much more dramatic way with increasing n than do those of the acyclic hydrocarbons CH,(CH,),,-,H. The cyclo- alkanes with small rings (n = 3-6) are of special interest in exhibiting chemical properties intermediate between those of alkanes and alkenes. In this chapter we will show how this behavior can be explained in terms of angle strain and steric hindrance, concepts that have been introduced previously and will be used with increasing frequency as we proceed further. We also discuss the conformations of cycloalkanes, especially cyclo- hexane, in detail because of their importance to the chemistry of many kinds of naturally occurring organic compounds. Some attention also will be paid to polycyclic compounds, substances with more than one ring, and to cyclo- alkenes and cycloalkynes. 12-1 NOMENCLATURE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CYCLOALKANES The IUPAC system for naming cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes was presented in some detail in Sections 3-2 and 3-3, and you may wish to review that ma- terial before proceeding further.

  • Strain-Promoted 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Cycloalkynes and Organic Azides
    Top Curr Chem (Z) (2016) 374:16 DOI 10.1007/s41061-016-0016-4 REVIEW Strain-Promoted 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Cycloalkynes and Organic Azides 1 1 Jan Dommerholt • Floris P. J. T. Rutjes • Floris L. van Delft2 Received: 24 November 2015 / Accepted: 17 February 2016 / Published online: 22 March 2016 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract A nearly forgotten reaction discovered more than 60 years ago—the cycloaddition of a cyclic alkyne and an organic azide, leading to an aromatic triazole—enjoys a remarkable popularity. Originally discovered out of pure chemical curiosity, and dusted off early this century as an efficient and clean bio- conjugation tool, the usefulness of cyclooctyne–azide cycloaddition is now adopted in a wide range of fields of chemical science and beyond. Its ease of operation, broad solvent compatibility, 100 % atom efficiency, and the high stability of the resulting triazole product, just to name a few aspects, have catapulted this so-called strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) right into the top-shelf of the toolbox of chemical biologists, material scientists, biotechnologists, medicinal chemists, and more. In this chapter, a brief historic overview of cycloalkynes is provided first, along with the main synthetic strategies to prepare cycloalkynes and their chemical reactivities. Core aspects of the strain-promoted reaction of cycloalkynes with azides are covered, as well as tools to achieve further reaction acceleration by means of modulation of cycloalkyne structure, nature of azide, and choice of solvent. Keywords Strain-promoted cycloaddition Á Cyclooctyne Á BCN Á DIBAC Á Azide This article is part of the Topical Collection ‘‘Cycloadditions in Bioorthogonal Chemistry’’; edited by Milan Vrabel, Thomas Carell & Floris P.

  • A Biomimetic Approach to Okilactomycin and Chrolactomycin and the Hexadehydro-Diels–Alder (HDDA) Reaction
    A Biomimetic Approach to Okilactomycin and Chrolactomycin and The Hexadehydro-Diels–Alder (HDDA) Reaction A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Dawen Niu IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Thomas R. Hoye December 2013 © Dawen Niu 2013 Acknowledgements So many things could have happened differently in the past 27 years and if any of them had, my career would have taken totally different pathways. I am so glad to be where I am today and need to acknowledge many people that made me here. First of all, I thank my parents. Born in remote villages, neither of them was able to receive good school education. They have been making very little money for what they do. To pay my (and my sister’s) tuition, they chose to work extremely hard. While I was in college, my father worked ca. 12 hours a day and >300 days a year even though he was suffering severe back pain. They tried all they could to make ends meet and yet never complained. But they started to complain after I left for US and stopped asking for tuition. They complain because they aren’t sure if I could get used to the American lifestyle and because they fear my feet will be dragged in US. “Mother worries when son travels a thousand miles.” This recent five years passed really fast to me, but it must have been the longest five years to them. I understand all these better after being a parent myself.
