is much more shielded. The presence of the C-phenyl group in (1) instead of the C-methyl group in (2) has the same effect, since the delocalized aromatic z-electron system of the phenyl group interacts with the vacant p-orbital of the carbene carbon, whose electron deficiency can thus be more effectively lowered than by the methyl group, which only acts inductively[31. Similarly, a dependence between degree of shielding and nature of heteroatom is observed in compounds (3), ( 4 ) , and ( 5 ) . The less electronegative nitrogen in ( 5 ) clearly confers more negative charge on the carbene carbon than does the more strongly electronegative oxygen in (3).In the case of ( 5 ) measurements were carried out on a mixture of the cis-trans isomers [41 (65:35). The isomers, which differ from each other only in the orientation of their C-and N-methyl groups, exhibit different I3C-NMR spectra. The signals for cis-and trans-(5) in the table were assigned on the basis of intensities. The I3C-NMR signals of the two isomers appear in the same sequence as do the N-methyl signals in the 'H-NMR spectrum, oiz. the signal of the cis isomer appears at higher field than that of the trans isomer. -4-phenyl-3-cyclobutene-1,2- We wish to report on the synthesis and properties of 3-mercapto-4-phenyl-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (PCB-SH) ( S ) , the first thio analog of the well-known PCB-OHr1I. 3-MercaptoBecause of its expected high acidity and its capability of being transformed into the novel 4-phenyl-3-thiolatocyclobutenediylium 1,2-diolate systemC2], compound ( 5 ) proves to be a very important representative of the phenylcyclobutenedione series.Dropwise addition of a benzene solution of (1) into pyridines (2) saturated with hydrogen sulfide leads to formation of the pyridinium salts ( 3 ) ['I, which have been characterized chemically and spectroscopically (see Table).In agreement with the salt structure, no peaks for the molecular ions appear in the mass spectra of (3a)-(3c). On the other hand, a peak due to the anion whose mass is increased by one unit (m/e 190) and the peak of the cation both appear with high intensity.-The absence of an IR -
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
