“…However, the predicted spectra (ChemWindow 3.0.2, 13 C NMR module, Softshell International) as well as the 15 N-1 H HMBC spectrum of our compound suggested the S-linkage (6A) rather than the N-linkage (6B) of the phenyl ring (crucial HMBC cross-peaks between (H-2V,6V) and (N-3) proving the N-linkage could not be detected). According to measured 13 C-NMR data (see Table 3), the chemical shift values for (C-2) carbon in each S-alkyl derivative (2)(3)(4)(5)(7)(8)(9) as well as in the S-benzyl derivative (10) of 2-mercapto-4(3H)-quinazolone (1) fall into the narrow range of 154.0 -156.5 ppm, while in the case of the starting 2-mercapto-4(3H)-quinazolone (1), the chemical shift value of the corresponding (C-2) carbon atom (d=174.8 ppm) is greater by 18.3 -20.8 ppm. In addition, literature data [12] of N-linked derivatives containing ''free'' -SH group (or the thiocarbonyl tautomer) showed the same value (d=174.7 ppm) for the chemical shift of (C-2) as in the case of 1; thus, the 155.0 ppm value for (C-2) of compound 6 also proves the S-linkage of the phenyl ring, e.g., the 6A structure.…”
