E-isomers of Phenyl 2-Nitrovinyl Sulfones
phenyl 2-nitrovinyl sulfones studied was determined at room
temperature in an ethanol medium by means of spectropho-
tometer Boeco Model S-20 (Germany). The melting temperatures
(Tm) were determined using MOM Derivatograph OD-102 (Hun-
gary) at a heating rate of 6 °C/min.

General procedure for preparation of p-substituted
phenyl 2-nitrovinyl sulfones
Preparation of p-substituted phenylsulfinic acids and
1- chloro- 2- nitroethene: All the substituted and non-substituted
sodium phenylsulfinates were prepared by known procedure, em-
ploying reduction of the corresponding phenylsulfonyl chlorides
with excess of sodium sulfite.24,25 The corresponding sodium salts
of arenesulfinic acids were obtained by adding an equimolar
amount of 30% NaOH to water-alcoholic solution of the acids at
0–5 °C until neutral reaction was reached. Following the evapora-
tion of solvents, the crystalline mass was filtered and rinsed with
absolute ethanol and ether.

1-Chloro-2-nitroethene was prepared by addition reaction
of NO2Cl (or liquefied NO2 and Cl2) to vinyl chloride at –30 ¸ -40
°C in CCl4 medium, followed by dehydrochlorination of the
1,1-dichloro-2-nitroethane thus obtained by CH3COONa in dry
ether medium. The compounds were characterized by determin-
ing their physical constants (1,1-dichloro-2-nitroethane: b.p.
60–70 °C/10 mm, nD20 1.4695; 1-chloro-2-nitroethene: b.p. 42–43
°C/30 mm; nD20 1.4900).

Interaction of sodium phenylsulfinates with 1- chloro-
2- nitroethene: The interaction of sodium phenylsulfinates with
1-chloro-2-nitroethene was carried out according to the previ-
ously described procedure.11 To an emulsion of 0.01 mol 1-
chloro-2-nitroethene in water, 0.01 mol of freshly prepared solu-
tion of 0.01 mol sodium salt of the corresponding phenylsulfinic
acid in 100 cm3 water were added at 0–5 °C during 30 min under
stirring. The pH of the reaction medium was maintained at 7–7.5.
The crystalline mass was then filtered and rinsed repeatedly with
distilled water. After drying, the products were purified by re-
crystalization using toluene.
