Part 1: Reactions at the Sulfur Atom %A Walid Fathalla %A Michal £żajan %A Pavel Pazdera %J Molecules %D 2001 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/60600557 %X The regioselectivity of the model compound 4-methyl-1-thioxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-one (3) towards different electrophiles was studied. Compound 3 reacts with alkyl and aryl halides to give the corresponding S-substituted derivatives. The reaction of the model thioamide with acyl halides proceeds by the formation of kinetically controlled S-acyl derivatives followed by a transacylation reaction to give the N2-acyl derivatives as thermodynamically controlled products. Theoretical DFT computational studies supported the explanation of these results. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectroscopy. %K Cyclic thioamides %K regioselective reactions %K 4-methyl-1-thioxo- 1 %K 2 %K 4 %K 5-tetrahydro[1 %K 2 %K 4]triazolo[4 %K 3-a]quinazolin-5-one %K DFT computational studies %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/6/6/557
