~ ~ ~~Reaktionen von 2-Diisopropylamino-3,7-dehydrotropon: Umwandlung in das Thion und Dimerisierung Zusammenfassung Behandlung von 2-Diisopropylamino-3,7-dehydrotropon (1) mit Phosphorpentasulfid ergab 2-Diisopropylamino-3,7-dehydrotropothion (2). Mit Trifluoressigsaure entstand aus 1 ein stabiles Dimeres (5), das ein Dehydrotropon-sowie ein Tropon-Ringsystem enthalt. Die Strukturen von 2 und 5 ergeben sich aus ihren Spektraleigenschaften.In continuance of our studies on the dehydrotropone system [l-31, we examined the behaviour of 2-diisopropylamino-3,7-dehydrotropone ( 1)2) under two conditions: 1) with phosphorus pentasulfide, which led to the first example of a 3,7-dehydrotropothione, and 2) with trifluoroacetic acid, which induced a dimerization involving an unusual 3,7-dehydrotropone 4 tropone ring opening.1. 2-Diisopropylamino-3,7-dehydrotropothione (2)3). -Treatment of 2-diisopropylamino-3,7-dehydrotropone (1) [ 1 J with phosphorus pentasulfide and triethylamine at room temperature in dichloromethane (compare [4]) for 9 days caused simple replacement of the 0-by a S-atom to yield 2-diisopropylamino-3,7-dehydrotropothione (2) as an orange solid, m.p. 105-106". Its spectral properties, shown in Table 1 together with those of 1, offer structural confirmation as follows:
I )In accordance with the previous literature [l-41, we prefer to use the dehydrotropone and the tropone nomenclature throughout this paper, rather than the systematic nomenclature, which is given in footnotes 2. 3 and 5. The systematic name for 1 is 7-diisopropylamino-bicyclo[3.2.0]-1(7),2,4-heptatrien-6-one. The systematic name for 2 is 7-diisopropylamino-bicyclo[3.2.0]-I (7).2,4-heptatriene-6-thione.
