Synthesis method

1. First, diisothioureaethane bromide is synthesized from dibromoethane and thiourea, and then treated with sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid to obtain 1,2-dimercaptoethane.

2.Heat thiourea and 95% ethanol and reflux until clear, stop heating, and slowly add dibromoethane (with constant stirring) The dosage of dibromoethane is 1/2 of the mass of thiourea). The reaction ends after 2 hours. Add the precipitated crystals to 25% to 30% sodium hydroxide solution under stirring, reflux for 6 hours, replace with a distillation device, and slowly add dilute sulfuric acid solution until the reactant becomes acidic to the Congo red test paper. , add 20% more acid. After adding, carry out steam distillation, let stand and separate the layers, separate the oil layer, extract the water layer with ether, combine the recovered ether layer with the oil layer, and dry with anhydrous calcium chloride
After drying, distill under reduced pressure, collect the fractions at 60-145°C at 2.67MPa, and then perform distillation under normal pressure to collect the fractions at 148-150°C, which is the finished product.

Purpose

1. Used in organic synthesis and biochemical research. Used as metal complexing agent.

2. The condensation reaction of 1,2-ethanedithiol with aldehydes, ketones and acetals produces 1,3-dithiapentane, which is used for carbonyl protection (Formula 1, Formula 2)^[1,2]. Its stability, condensation selectivity and carbonyl regeneration conditions are similar to those of 1,3-propanedithiol^[3]. Esters and lactones can be protected with ketene dithioacetals and/or dithioprolactones.

1,3-Dithiapentane Under the conditions of Raney nickel, sodium amide or sodium/hydrazine, the direct desulfurization reaction reduces C=O to CH₂ (Formula 3~Formula 5)^[4] .

In pyridine hydrofluoric acid and mild Under the action of oxidants, 1,2-ethanedithiol generates geminal difluoride compounds (formula 6)^[5]. 1,3-Dithiapentane reacts slowly and has a lower yield.

Acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, esters and The orthoester is treated with 1,2-ethanedithiol and Lewis acid to generate the electrophilic 1,3-Dithiolenium cation, which in turn can react with different types of carbon nucleophiles. In the presence of primary carbamoyl, indole-selective formylation reaction can occur (Formula 7)^[6].

In water, use dodecane As a catalytic system, DBSA can react disulfide acetals and can be used to protect carbonyl compounds (Formula 8) in aqueous media ^[7].

Under the catalysis of iodine, 1 , 2-ethanedithiol can selectively react with ketones and aldehydes, ketal alcohols and ketones, aldehydes and THP ethers, esters and aldehydes (Formula 9~Formula 11)^[8].
