Studies on the biological activity of some nitrothiophenes
Morley, John O.,Matthews, Thomas P.
, p. 359 - 366 (2008/01/27)
The biological activity of nineteen substituted thiophenes (3) have been assessed by evaluating the minimum inhibitory concentration required to inhibit the growth of E. coli, M. luteus and A. niger. The series displays a wide range of activities with 2-chloro-3,5-dinitrothiophene (3a) or 2-bromo-3,5- dinitrothiophene (3c) showing the highest activity against all three organisms, while the simplest compound of the series, 2-nitrothiophene (3s) shows the smallest activity in each case. The mode of action of 3a and 3c is thought to involve nucleophilic attack by intracellular thiols at the 2-position of the heterocyclic ring leading to displacement of halogen, but other active derivatives, such as 2,4-dinitrothiophene (3h) and 5-nitrothiophene-2- carbaldehyde (3d) which have no displaceable halogen or leaving group are thought to act by forming Meisenheimer complexes.

Synthesis, transition temperatures, and optical properties of various 2,6-disubstituted naphthalenes and related 1-benzothiophenes with butylsulfanyl and cyano or isothiocyanato terminal groups

Fourteen compounds based on 2,6-disubstituted naphthalenes or related 1-benzothiophene moieties with butylsulfanyl and cyano or isothiocyanato terminal groups have been synthesised. The transition temperatures of the compounds and their refractive indices have been determined and the derived values for the optical anisotropies, polarisabilities and order parameters have been calculated. With one exception (which also shows a smectic A phase), all the compounds with naphthyl and phenyl groups are solely nematogenic; for these compounds the naphthyl unit gives an average increase in T(N-I) value and melting point of 72 and 20°C respectively compared to the values for the compounds with a phenyl in place of the naphthyl unit. The incorporation of a 2,5-thiophene unit in place of phenyl lowers T(N-I) and when it is part of a 1-benzothiophene unit the depression is even greater. The naphthalene compounds increase the values of optical anisotropy by approximately 0.04, compared to the phenyl systems, mainly because they increase the refractive index of the e-ray (n values); compound 12 has an exceptionally high optical anisotropy (Δn value) of 0.54.

The kinetics of the nitration of thiophene derivatives with nitric acid in acetic anhydride were investigated.The nitration of 2-substituted thiophenes is a second-order reaction.The rate constants and activation parameters of the reaction were calculated.The possibility of the Hammett and Yukawa-Tsuno equations for this reaction series is demonstrated.An isokinetic dependence is observed.
