Abstract:The substituent effect on the self-thiylation of 2-thiophenethiols was studied. Experimental results and quantum chemical calculations suggested possible mechanisms for this reaction dependent on the reaction conditions.We have already discovered the self-thiylation of 2-thiophenethiol (Ia) to give a dimeric dithiolactone (Ha) [1][2][3][4]. Subsequently, we obtained products of the reaction of Ha with hydrazine (Ilia) and its derivatives (IVa-h) as well as with hydroxylamine OVi) (see our previous work [5] an… Show more
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.
