Acid halides thiols

Reduction of Sulfonyl Halides and Sulfonic Acids to Thiols... 

All the above-mentioned initiators are very sensitive towards substances with active hydrogen. Care must therefore be taken to exclude acids, water, thiols, amines, and acetylene derivatives. Oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbonyl compounds, and alkyl halides which can react with the initiator, also interfere with the reaction. Careful purification and drying of the starting materials and apparatus is, therefore, absolutely essential, especially when dealing with living polymers (see Example 3-19). 

Classification and Organization of Reactions Forming Difunctional Compounds. This chapter considers all possible difunctional compounds formed from the groups acetylene, carboxylic acid, alcohol, thiol, aldehyde, amide, amine, ester, ether, epoxide, thioether, halide, ketone, nitrile, and olefin. Reactions that form difunctional compounds are classified into sections on the basis of the two functional groups of the product. The relative positions... 

Chlorobenz[d]isothiazole-l, 1-dioxide ( pseudosaccharin chloride ) (6)3,24.25, lee, 25i, 26i, 262 displays the reactivity of a cyclic imidoyl chloride263 resembling very much carboxylic acid halides. In previous sections preparation of 3, 4, 5, 13, 68, 86, 89 from 6 has been mentioned. Derivatives of 6 substituted in the phenyl ring have been described.250 Interestingly, Meadow observed231 that crude 6 and material that contained phosphorus pentachloride reacted with thiols more readily than the pure compound. In the reaction of 6 with aromatic sulfonamides, aluminum chloride had been added for activation.252... 

Alkylation/Acylation Reactions. Similar to non-fluorous thiols, fluorous thiols can be alkylated or acylated by appropriate halides or acid halides to form sulfides or thioesters (eqs 6 and 7). 

HFBA). Alkylation is used to replace reactive hydrogens associated with carboxylic acids, hydroxyls, thiols, phenols, and both primary and secondary amines with alkyl groups by using alkyl halide reagents. Esterification of acids by using a simple alcohol and acidic catalyst is a well-known example of this derivatization procedure. 

This direct sulphonation should be compared with the indirect methods for the preparation of aliphatic sulphonic acids, e.g., oxidation of a thiol (RSH -> RSOjH), and interaction of an alkyl halide with sodium sulphite to give the sodium sulphonate (RBr + Na,SO, -> RSO,Na + NaBr). 

It IS not necessary to prepare and isolate the sodium alkanethiolate m a separate opera tion Because thiols are more acidic than water they are quantitatively converted to their alkanethiolate anions by sodium hydroxide Thus all that is normally done is to add a thiol to sodium hydroxide m a suitable solvent (water or an alcohol) followed by the alkyl halide... 

Thiols can be prepared by a variety of methods. The most-utilised of these synthetic methods for tertiary and secondary thiols is acid-catalysed synthesis for normal and secondary thiols, the most-utilised methods are free-radical-initiated, alcohol substitution, or halide substitution for mercaptoalcohols, the most-utilised method is oxhane addition and for mercaptoacids and mercaptonitnles, the most-utilised methods are Michael-type additions.
