In turn, the 1,2-dithiole derivatives were prepared by an efficient ring- opening-closing process of 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines, induced in the presence of Lawesson's reagent by intramolecular non-bonded 1,5-type S...O interactions in the 4-oxothiazolidine precursors.

Employing the GIAO method, C-13 NMR chemical shifts of the C-2, C-2', C-4 and C-5 atoms were calculated at the same level of theory in the gas phase and with inclusion of solvent, and compared with experimental data. Push-pull effect of all compounds was quantified by means of the quotient pi*/pi, length of the partial double bond, C-13 NMR chemical shift difference (Delta delta(C=C)) and H-1 NMR chemical shifts of olefinic protons. The effect of bromine on donating and accepting ability of other substituents of the push- pull C=C double bond is discussed, too.

They are classified as two structurally different trithiaazapentalene compounds that have different contributions of monocyclic 1,2-dithiole and 1,2,4-dithiazole structures and degrees of aromaticity of the bicyclic trithiaazapentalene system. The electron-donating ability of substituents at the C(5) position of the trithiaazapentalene system is recognized as the main cause for changes in pi-Celectron distribution. This is the first complete study of substituent effects on the structure of trithiapentalenes. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The stereochemistry of 5-substituted sulfoxides was determined by means of NMR spectroscopy and DFT theoretical calculations. It was found that the thermodynamically less stable anti-isomer was initially formed in the course of the oxidation, but it underwent epimerization to the mixture enriched in the more stable syn-isomer, during the work-up process. The higher stability of syn-isomers is ascribed to the stronger hyperconjugative sigma(C-H)->sigma*(S-O) interaction versus the weaker sigma(C-C)->sigma*(S-O) delocalization in their anti-counterparts and to the existence of intramolecular 1,5-CH center dot center dot center dot C hydrogen bonds.
