COMPLEXES OF p-METHOXYPHENYLTELLURIUM TRICHLORIDE WITH ALLYL THIOETHERS OF 5-ARYL-1,3,4-OXADIAZOLE

Abstract

1,3,4-Oxadiazole and its functional derivatives have a wide spectrum of biological activity. There are well-known examples of the use of oxadiazoles in materials science as high-energy molecules. Therefore, the synthesis of new functional derivatives based on them is an urgent problem. This paper describes the synthesis of allylic thioethers of 5-nitrophenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole by the alkylation reaction of the corresponding thiones with allyl bromide in an alcohol-alkaline medium. Such thioethers were studied in reactions with phenylselentrihalides, as a result of which oxadiazolo[2,3-d][1,3,4]thiaselenazinium halides were synthesized. We investigated the interaction of the tellurium-containing analogue p-methoxyphenyltellurium trichloride with allylic thioethers of 5-nitrophenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole. It was established that the reaction between p-methoxyphenyl tellurium trichloride and the investigated alkenyl thioethers within 8 hours occurs with the formation of adducts of the substrate-electrophile composition 1:1, regardless of the ratio of reagents. Attempts to change the polarity of the solvent, increase the reaction time, and change the temperature regime did not change the direction of the reaction. Based on the obtained experimental spectral data and elemental analysis data, the structure of the obtained complexes is proposed. Keywords: p-methoxyphenyltellurium trichloride; 1,3,4-oxadiazole; allyl thioethers; organotellurium compounds; molecular complexes.
