Preparation of substituted methyl o-nitrophenyl sulfides

The nucleophilic substitution of substituted o-nitrochlorobenzenes with substituted methanethiolates, catalysed with triethylamine or pyridine, has been used to prepare a series of appropriately substituted methyl-o- nitrophenylsulfides. The prepared compounds were identified by their 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra. The base catalysed ring closure of methyl 2-(methoxycarbonylmethylsulfanyl)-3,5-dinitrobenzenecarboxylate only results in an attack of carbanion on the ester group, not on a nitro group as with the other compounds prepared. The cyclisation product is methyl 3-hydroxy-5,7-dinitro-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (11).
The chemistry of benzothiadiazole plant activators

Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) is an inducible resistance mechanism in plants that, together with other defence mechanisms, provides broadspectrum and long-lasting disease control. With novel screening techniques the benzo[1,2,3]thiadiazole-7-carboxylic acid derivatives have been identified as a new class of chemicals which stimulate the plant's own defence mechanisms. The synthesis and biological activities of various benzo[1,2,3]thiadiazoles and related structures are described. S-Methyl benzo[1,2,3]thiadiazole-7-carbothioate is the first synthetic chemical 'plant activator' that has been developed for this novel disease control concept.
