ORGANOSULPHUR CHEMISTRY

Abstract

The effects of hetero-groups (amide and sulphonyl) in nitrogen and sulphur compounds were examined. The reaction between dimethylbenzamide, PhCONMe2 and t-butoxy-radicals resulted in the formation of methylbenzamide by demethylation. The sulphonyl group had a strongly deactivating effect on adjacent C-H bond reactivity. Reactions of 3,3',5,5'-tetrachlorodiphenoquinone with anisole and with thioanisole were studied. Reactions of thiocyanogen and related compounds were studied. The triphenylmethyl compound, CPh3.NCS, was converted into compounds CPH3X by substitution reactions with anions (X = OH, I, Ph.CO.S, Me.CO.S), silver salts (X = Me.CO.O), solvents (H2O, ROH), acids (Ph.CO.SH, Me.CO.SH), and cyanogen bromide. The hydrolysis of triphenylmethyl isothiocyanate and of other compounds on columns of alumina or silica was investigated. (Author)
