Abstract
A series of S-acetylarenethiols were synthesized from aromatic amines by a rapid, convenient and efficient method. Arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates were afforded from aromatic amines, isoamyl nitrite and boron trifluoride etherate in non-aqueous diazotization system, then reacted with potassium thioacetate in dimethylsulfoxide to obtain desired products in moderate to good yields and short reaction times. The product S-acetyl-4-iodothiophenol was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/C with unit cell parameters: a = 0.594 20(12) nm, b = 0.542 00(11) nm, c = 2.9618(6) nm, α = 90.00°, β = 94.23(3)°, γ = 90.00°, Dx = 1.942 g/cm3, Z = 4, F(000) = 528, μ = 3.528 mm-1, R = 0.039 2, wR = 0.099 3, P = (Fo 2 + 2Fc 2)/3, S = 1.077, (Δρ)max = 0.692 × 1030 e/m3, (Δρ)min = -0.558 × 1030 e/m3. The X-ray crystallographic structure (CCDC-684683) clearly shows that the para atoms I and S lie in the benzene ring plane and no hydrogen bonds were observed.
