Außerdem sind die Reaktionsmechanismen zur Bildung der Thermolyseprodukte wie z.B. die [1,5]-sigmatropen Umlagerungen und die elektrocyclischen Ringschlüsse erklärt. Die hochreaktiven Allenylisothiocyanate sind als geeignet elektrophile Vorläufer zur Synthese von neuen Thiazolen verwendbar, die an der C-2 Position substituiert sind. Dabei kommen verschiedene Nucleophile zum Ansatz. Für die Bildung dieser substituierten Thiazole sind die Regioselektivität, Stereoselektivität, Reaktionsmechanismen und der Bereich der einsetzbaren Nucleophile untersucht worden. Stichworte: Isothiocyanat [= Senföle], Thiocyanat, Propargylthiocyanat, Allenylisothiocyanat, Eninylisothiocyanat, Thiazol, [3,3]-sigmatrope Umlagerung, [1,5]-sigmatrope Verschiebung, elektrocyclische Ringschlussreaktion, Heterocyclen.
Abstract 3 Abstract Jawabrah Al-Hourani, Baker “Generation and Succeeding Reactions of Allenyl Isothiocyanates“ Chemnitz University of Technology, Faculty of Natural Science PhD Thesis 2005, 127 Pages, 130 References, 12 Figures, 9 Tables, and 49 Schemes. In this work, the [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of different substituted propargyl thiocyanates and double [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of enynyl isothiocyanates either by flash vacuum pyrolysis or by thermolysis in solution are studied. Additionally, the intramolecular reactions of the resulting allenyl isothiocyanates are studied, and the reaction mechanisms for the generation of the final products, such as [1,5] sigmatropic migrations or electrocyclic ring closures, are explained. These highly reactive allenyl isothiocyanates are used as appropriate electrophilic precursors for the preparation of novel examples of thiazoles substituted at C-2 position using different types of nucleophiles. For the formation of these substituted thiazoles, the necessary nucleophilicity as well as the regioselectivity, the stereoselectivity, and the reaction mechanisms are investigated. Keyword: Isothiocyanate [= Mustard oil], Thiocyanate, Propargyl Thiocyanate, Allenyl Isothiocyanate, Enynyl Isothiocyanate, Thiazole, [3,3] Sigmatropic Rearrangement, [1,5] Sigmatropic Migration, Electrocyclic Ring Closure, Heterocycles.
