Diazo sulfones

The best listing of fungicides that we know of is published annually by the Meister Publishing Company of Willoughby, Ohio in their Farm Chemicals Handbook. They list the following compounds or types of compounds as officially "registered" for use on plants in the United States allyl alcohol, ammonium isobutyrate, antibiotics, benzimidazole types, carbofuran, cadmiums, captan types, coppers, carboxin, dehydroacetic acid, Dexon (sodium [4-(dime thy lamino) phenyl diazo sulfonate), diphenyl,... 

Sorensen states that the triphenylmethane dyes also show a pronounced salt error. However, metanil yellow extra (diazo-sulfonic acid indicator) is serviceable. Sorensen examined three 0.01 N hydrochloric acid solutions with methyl violet, mauveine, methyl green, and metanil yellow extra. Solution A contained only acid, B contained in addition 0.1 N KCl, whereas C was 0.3 N with respect to this salt. The pH s measured colorimetrically with each of these four indicators are compared with those determined electrometrically and with the values calculated from the nature of the three solutions. These findings are summarized in the following table.

Transition metal-catalysed methods for carbenoid insertion into C-H bonds remain well documented. The asymmetric intramolecular Cu(II)-catalysed C-H insertion reactions of (i) a-diazo-/ -keto esters and phosphonates and (ii) a-diazo sulfones have been described. One can note that the optimal reaction conditions have been found to be quite similar regardless of the nature of the carbenoid precursor the best conditions featured CUCI2 as Cu(II)-source, bis(oxazoline) (68) as chiral ligand and sodium tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] borate (i.e., NaBARF) as additive. Under the so-optimized reaction conditions, each of these carbenoid sources have been eonverted into five-membered cyclopentanone-based derivatives (69), whereas a-sulfonyl diazo esters (70) have led to six-membered cyclic compounds (71), thus featuring a distinct but well-known selectivity. In a related work, the asymmetric C-H insertion cyclization of (70) to (71) has also been achieved under Rh(II)-catalysis, using a combination of Rh2(5-pttl)4 (72) as chiral catalyst and menthyl ester as chiral auxiliary. As already mentioned in the previous section, allene-containing substrates (49) have been shown to undergo an intramolecular C-H insertion process under Rh(II)-catalysis. ... 

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of a sulflnyl-stabilized phosphorus ylide (85) gave a carbene (86) by loss of phosphine oxide. The carbene then extruded carbon dioxide to give the vinyl sulfide (87). The corresponding a-diazo sulfones were also examined and similarly proceed to give vinyl sulfones. ... 

The ratio between the isomers obtained in coupling with 1,3- and 1,5-naphtholsulfonic acids depends on the reactivity of the diazo component. Energetic ones, such as the 2,4-dinitrobenzenediazonium compound, essentially couple only with l-naphthol-3-sulfonic acid [3771-14-0] in the para position, but 4-chloro-benzenediazonium salt (a weaker diazo) attacks the ortho position. Both isomers result when mononitrobenzenediazonium compounds are used. The tendency to couple para is greater in l-naphthol-5-sulfonic acid [117-59-9] C QHgO S (21). For the combination of... 

Nitro-l-diazo-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid prefers the 2-position in spite of the nitro group, and increasing alkalinity favors ortho coupling with diazophenols. 1-Naphthalenesulfamic acid [24344-19-2] (ArNHSO H) and N-nitro-1-naphthylamine [4323-69-7] (ArNHNO ) couple exclusively in the para position. The substitution of resorcinol [108-46-3] and y -phenylenediamine [108-45-2] is compHcated and has been discussed (29,30). The first azo dyes from aniline, eg. Aniline Yellow [60-09-3] (19) (Cl Solvent Yellow 1 Cl 11000) were manufactured in 1861 and Bismark Brown [10114-58-6] (20) (Cl Basic Brown 1 Cl 21000) appeared in 1863. The reaction is as follows ... 

Fast Color Salts. In order to simplify the work of the dyer, diazonium salts, in the form of stable dry powders, were introduced under the name of fast color salts. When dissolved in water they react like ordinary diazo compounds. These diazonium salts, derived from amines, free from solubilizing groups, are prepared by the usual method and are salted out from the solutions as the sulfates, the metallic double salts, or the aromatic sulfonates. The isolated diazonium salt is sold in admixture with anhydrous salts such as sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate. 

Insoluble sulfonated pigments are made from colorants that contain a sulfonic acid group that is easily converted into an insoluble metal salt. In most cases, the sulfonic acid group is ortho to the diazo further reducing the solubilizing characteristics of the sulfonic grouping. The shade of these products is affected by the metal incorporated into the molecule and the physical characteristics of the colorants. D C Red Nos. 7 (19b) and 34 (26) are insoluble sulfonated pigments. 

The general discussion (Section 4.02.1.4.1) on reactivity and orientation in azoles should be consulted as some of the conclusions reported therein are germane to this discussion. Pyrazole is less reactive towards electrophiles than pyrrole. As a neutral molecule it reacts as readily as benzene and, as an anion, as readily as phenol (diazo coupling, nitrosation, etc.). Pyrazole cations, formed in strong acidic media, show a pronounced deactivation (nitration, sulfonation, Friedel-Crafts reactions, etc.). For the same reasons quaternary pyrazolium salts normally do not react with electrophiles.

The major problem of these diazotizations is oxidation of the initial aminophenols by nitrous acid to the corresponding quinones. Easily oxidized amines, in particular aminonaphthols, are therefore commonly diazotized in a weakly acidic medium (pH 3, so-called neutral diazotization) or in the presence of zinc or copper salts. This process, which is due to Sandmeyer, is important in the manufacture of diazo components for metal complex dyes, in particular those derived from l-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid. Kozlov and Volodarskii (1969) measured the rates of diazotization of l-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid in the presence of one equivalent of 13 different sulfates, chlorides, and nitrates of di- and trivalent metal ions (Cu2+, Sn2+, Zn2+, Mg2+, Fe2 +, Fe3+, Al3+, etc.). The rates are first-order with respect to the added salts. The highest rate is that in the presence of Cu2+. The anions also have a catalytic effect (CuCl2 > Cu(N03)2 > CuS04). The mechanistic basis of this metal ion catalysis is not yet clear. 

The term coupling component referred originally to aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly benzene and naphthalene derivatives, which were required to have a hydroxy or an amino group as a substituent (sometimes, but not necessarily, accompanied by other substituents such as sulfonic acid groups). The presence of the hydroxy or amino group increases the C-nucleophilicity of the coupling component. In most cases this is a necessary requirement because the diazo components are relatively weak electrophiles. If the coupling component is phenol or a derivative of phenol ... 

The overall mechanism of the substitution proper in azo coupling reactions can be summarized as shown in Scheme 12-83. This scheme is simplified, insofar as charges in the coupling component and additional charges (e.g., of sulfonate groups) in the diazo compound are neglected, and it does not include information on reversibility.
