Vinyl chloride reacts with sulfides, thiols, alcohols, and oximes in basic media. Reaction with hydrated sodium sulfide [1313-82-2] in a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide [67-68-5] (DMSO) and potassium hydroxide [1310-58-3], KOH, yields divinyl sulfide [627-51-0] and sulfur-containing heterocycles (27). Various vinyl sulfides can be obtained by reacting vinyl chloride with thiols in the presence of base (28). Vinyl ethers are produced in similar fashion, from the reaction of vinyl chloride with alcohols in the presence of a strong base (29,30). A variety of pyrroles and indoles have also been prepared by reacting vinyl chloride with different ketoximes or oximes in a mixture of DMSO and KOH (31). 

Synthesis of heterocycles by forming C—X bonds by radical reactions is not a generally applicable method, and seems not to be useful for making small rings. However, the attack of thiol radicals on double bonds can be a practical synthetic route, such as in the conversion of 1-hexene-7-thiol to thiepane (Section 5.17.3.3.1). 

Het = heteroaryl residue] follow second-order kinetics, first order with respect to each reactant. Regular kinetics of this kind are also observed in the reaction of sodium arylsulfide in methanol provided that no free thiol is present (see Section II,D, l,c). As to other heterocyclic systems, A -oxides and bromofuran derivatives show similar kinetic behavior.

As mentioned in the introduction, l-heterobut-l-en-3-ynes, RXCH=CHC=CH (X = RN, O, S R = organic radical), are the nearest and most important diacetylene derivatives readily formed by nucleophilic addition of amines, alcohols, and thiols to diacetylene. In many heterocyclization reactions (especially those leading to fundamental heterocycles) l-heterobut-l-en-3-ynes behave as diacetylene synthetic equivalents, but unlike diacetylene, they are nonhazardous. Therefore, the syntheses of heterocycles therefrom are often more attractive in preparative aspect. 

Microwave and fluorous technologies have been combined in the solution phase parallel synthesis of 3-aminoimidazo[l,2-a]pyridines and -pyrazines [63]. The three-component condensation of a perfluorooctane-sulfonyl (Rfs = CgFiy) substituted benzaldehyde by microwave irradiation in a single-mode instrument at 150 °C for 10 min in CH2CI2 - MeOH in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 gave the imidazo-annulated heterocycles that could be purified by fluorous solid phase extraction (Scheme 9). Subsequent Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of the fluorous sulfonates with arylboronic acids or thiols gave biaryls or aryl sulfides, respectively, albeit it in relatively low yields. 

For most simple phenols this equilibrium lies well to the side of the phenol, since only on that side is there aromaticity. For phenol itself, there is no evidence for the existence of the keto form. However, the keto form becomes important and may predominate (1) where certain groups, such as a second OH group or an N=0 group, are present (2) in systems of fused aromatic rings and (3) in heterocyclic systems. In many heterocyclic compounds in the liquid phase or in solution, the keto form is more stable, although in the vapor phase the positions of many of these equilibria are reversed. For example, in the equilibrium between 4-pyridone (118) and 4-hydroxypyridine (119), 118 is the only form detectable in ethanolic solution, while 119 predominates in the vapor phase. " In other heterocycles, the hydroxy-form predominates. 2-Hydroxypyridone (120) and pyridone-2-thiol (122) are in equilibrium with their tautomers, 121 and 123, respectively. In both cases, the most stable form is the hydroxy tautomer, 120 and 122. ... 

Recent reports on transition metal complexes of 2-heterocyclic thiosemicar-bazones suggest that stereochemistries adopted by these complexes often depend upon the anion of the metal salt used and the nature of the N-substituents. Further, as indicated previously, the charge on the ligand is dictated by the thione-thiol equilibrium which in turn is influenced by the solvent and pH of the preparative medium. Many of the reported complexes have been prepared in mixed aqueous solvents, often with bases added. However, there are few reports in which workers have varied the nature of their preparations to fully explore the potential diversity of these ligands. 

Insertion of a C=0 or C=S group between hydroxy or amino groups and a thiol function in 1,2- or 1,3-positions leads to a five- or six-membered heterocycle ... 

Chemical stabilizers have been used to reduce the rate of oxygen-promoted degradation of polysaccharides at T>225°F. Methanol and sodium thiosulfate are the most commonly used (86). Sodium dithio-carbamate, alkanolamines, and thiol derivatives of imidazolines, thiazolines, and other heterocyclic compounds have also been tested for this application. Calcined dolomite (B7) and Cu(l) and Cu(ll) salts (88) have been reported to increase the thermal stability of HEC. 

Heterocyclic fluorophores based on the benzoxadiazole nucleous, namely 4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-l,3-diazole (NBD) 14 derivatives/analogs, have been widely used as derivatization reagents for analysis purposes. Examples include the amino- or thiol reactive 4-fluoro-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-l,3-diazole (NBD-F) 15 and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-C1) 16 [45-50] and the thiol-reactive /V-((2-(iodoacetoxy)ethyl)-/V-methyl)amino-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-dia-zole (IANBD ester) 17 [51] and 7-chlorobenz-2-oxa-l,3-diazole-4-sulfonate (SBD-C1) 18 [52], NBD-F and NBD-C1 derivatives can be excited at about 470 nm by using the relatively inexpensive and reliable argon ion lasers or newer diode pumped solid state (DPSS) lasers. NBD-F has been used as a labeling tag in various capillary electrophoresis (CE) experiments for amino acids [53-57] including the monitorization of in vivo dynamics of amino acids neurotransmitters [58].
