γ-Radiolysis of aqueous benzothiophene solutions saturated with N2O has been studied.In the absence of other reagents, the only products detected are 2- and 3-hydroxybenzothiophene and their corresponding lactonic and ketonic tautomers and a small amount of dimeric species.In the presence of potassium hexacyanoferrate or sodium hydroxide, however, products attributable to hydroxylation at all six available carbon sites are detected and dimer formation is reduced.Analysis of the experimental data suggests that both benzothiophene and its hydroxylation products are efficient scavengers for the radiation-produced OH radicals and that the initial yield of hydroxylation products is equal to that of hydroxyl radicals.Consistent with the electrophilic characteristics of the OH radical, k(OH+C8H6S):k(OH+C8H5SOH)=0.5+/-0.1.All six available carbon sites are capable of forming OH adducts, but the radicals formed by addition to the 4, 5, 6, and 7 positions tend to revert to the original compound or its ion in a neutral or acidic medium.In the case of the adducts formed by addition to the thiophene ring, on the other hand, the 3 position is seen to be favored, possibly as the result of the preservation of the aromatic benzene resonance structure.

A one-pot procedure for the synthesis of thienyl thioethers is described. Several thienyl thioethers were synthesized by a TfOH-promoted Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization, a subsequent nucleophilic attack by an arenethiol, and dehydration. This protocol was

Controlling the internal motions of molecules by outside stimuli is a decisive task for the generation of responsive and complex molecular behavior and functionality. Light-induced structural changes of photoswitches are of special high interest due to the ease of signal application and high repeatability. Typically photoswitches use one reaction coordinate in their switching process and change between two more or less-defined states. Here we report on new twisted hemithioindigo photoswitches enabling two different reaction coordinates to be used for the switching process. Depending on the polarity of the solvent, either complete single bond (in DMSO) or double bond (in cyclohexane) rotation can be induced by visible light. This mutually independent switching establishes an unprecedented two-dimensional control of intramolecular rotations in this class of photoswitches. The mechanistic explanation involves formation of highly polar twisted intramolecular charge-transfer species in the excited state and is based on a large body of experimental quantifications, most notably ultrafast spectroscopy and quantum yield measurements in solvents of different polarity. The concept of pre-twisting in the ground state to open new, independent reaction coordinates in the excited state should be transferable to other photoswitching systems.
