Through space NMR shieldings of aromatic (benzene, mono-substituted and annelated benzenes, ferrocene, [14]- and [18]-annulenes, phenylenes and tetra- to heptahelicene) and anti-aromatic molecules (cyclobutadiene and pentalene) were assessed by ab initio molecular-orbital calculations. Employing the nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) concept, these through space NMR shieldings were visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSSs) and can be applied quantitatively to determine the stereochemistry of proximal nuclei. In addition, the distances in Å at ICSS values of ±0.1 ppm in-plane and perpendicular-to-center of the aromatic ring system were employed as a simple means to compare and estimate qualitatively the aromaticity of the systems at hand.
The trithiocarbonate 2-(benzylsulfanylthiocarbonylsulfanyl) propanoic acid is formed as minor by-product in the synthesis of the dithioester 2-((2-phenylthioacetyl)sulfanyl) propanoic acid via the Grignard route. The mechanism for this side reaction is not clear. The isolated trithiocarbonate may act as unsymmetrical but bifunctional RAFT agent in the aqueous polymerization of N,N-dimethyl acrylamide. Therefore, it is important to separate it completely from the dithioester before engaging the latter in controlled free radical polymerization to guarantee a maximum control.
