the formation of 1,3,4ꢀthiadiazole 9 and trifluoroacetone.
As mentioned above, similar cleavage also takes place also
for the condensation product of trifluoroacetylacetone with
thiobenzoylhydrazine but at ambient temperature.
A comparison of the results obtained by the study of
the reaction products of thiobenzoylhydrazine with acetylꢀ
acetone5,6,9 and its fluorinated analogs (trifluoroꢀ and
hexafluoroacetylacetones) suggests the following.
As mentioned above, the ringꢀring equilibrium of two
heterocycles is observed for acetylacetone in solutions.
The storage of solutions for a sufficiently prolonged time
is not accompanied by irreversible changes.
For the trifluoroacetylacetone, the 5ꢀhydroxyꢀ2ꢀpyrꢀ
azoline structure is considerably more favorable than
the 1,3,4ꢀthiadiazoline structure; however, the smallest
amounts of this tautomer, which cannot be detected by
NMR spectroscopy, result on storage in the decomposiꢀ
tion of the condensation product to form 1,3,4ꢀthiadiꢀ
azole and trifluoroacetone.
Diastereomeric dihydroxypyrazolidine structures are
possible for the product with hexafluoroacetylacetone. This
is due to an increase in the lifetime of the primary reaction
product of 1,3ꢀdiketone with polynucleophile (hydroxyꢀ
hydrazine), where the strong electronꢀwithdrawing trifluꢀ
oromethyl group prevents the elimination of water eleꢀ
ments and allows the intramolecular addition to the secꢀ
ond CF3С=О bond to occur. The diastereomeric dihyꢀ
droxypyrazolidines that formed eliminate water very slowly
due to the same electronꢀacceptor properties of the triꢀ
fluoromethyl groups. 5ꢀHydroxyꢀ2ꢀpyrazoline formed exꢀ
periences, in turn, the reversible tautomeric transition to
2,3ꢀdihydroꢀ1,3,4ꢀthiadiazole, and the ringꢀring equilibꢀ
rium with comparable amounts of two heterocycles is esꢀ
tablished. This resembles the situation with the acetylꢀ
acetone derivative.
Thus, the replacement of one methyl group in the
1,3ꢀdiketone component for the reaction product with
thiobenzoylhydrazine results in the almost complete disꢀ
appearance of the 5ꢀhydroxyꢀ2ꢀpyrazoline—2,3ꢀdihydroꢀ
1,3,4ꢀthiadiazole equilibrium, and the replacement of the
second methyl group by the trifluoromethyl group sucꢀ
cessfully recovers this equilibrium.

NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DXꢀ300 spectromꢀ
eter at 300 (1Н) and 75 MHz (13С) under the conditions of
complete spinꢀspin proton decoupling. An internal standard was
HMDS. The spectra were recorded in DMSOꢀd6 and CDCl3.
IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer FTꢀIR System Specꢀ
trum spectrometer (KBr) at 400—4000 cm–1. Mass spectra were
measured on an МХ 1321 instrument (EI, 70 eV). The reaction
course and purity of the synthesized compounds were monitored
by TLC on Silufol UVꢀ254 plates (eluent СНСl3). Melting points
were determined in a glass capillary. The starting thiobenzoylꢀ
