Design, Synthesis, and Spectral Properties of Novel 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole Derivatives

Abstract

This paper is focused on the optimalization of methods for the synthesis, isolation, and purification of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole-based acrylic and methacrylic monomers. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed through infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Spectroscopic properties of the resulting 2-mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives were determined based on their absorption spectra and molar absorption coefficients in solvents with varying polarities. A correlation was established between the calculated density functional theory (DFT) energies and Frontier Molecular Orbitals and the experimental observations, confirming their consistency. The practical utility of the synthesized compounds, particularly in future polymerization processes, hinges on a thorough understanding of these properties.

Effect of Nano-CuO and 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole on the Tribological Properties of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

“…It is shown that the average sliding friction coefficient of UHMWPE decreased to 34% after filling with CuO nanoparticles, and the wear mechanism changed from adhesive wear to fatigue wear. 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) is a bicyclic heteroatomic molecule that is used as a rubber vulcanization accelerator and is widely used in the production of tires, rubber shoes, and other rubber products [26]. We have previously investigated the effect of wollastonite and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole on the mechanical and tribological properties of UHMWPE [27].…”
