White to off-white solid | [Uses]
Thianthrene has been used to study aqueous solubilities of several solid nitrogen-, sulfur- and oxygen-containing heterocyclic derivatives of anthracene, phenanthrene and fluorene. It has been used in determination of partition coefficients of several sulfur-containing aromatics in 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and supercritical carbon dioxide. | [Definition]
ChEBI: The organosulfur heterocyclic compound that is the parent compound of the thianthrenes, a tricyclic structure comprising two benzene rings fused to the b and e sides of 1,4-dithin. | [Preparation]
Thianthrene was first synthesized by John Stenhouse by dry distillation of sodium benzenesulfonate. Thianthrene can be prepared by treating benzene with disulfur dichloride in the presence of aluminium chloride. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 31, p. 4071, 1966 DOI: 10.1021/jo01350a045 | [General Description]
Thianthrene undergoes liquid phase tert-butylation in the presence of large pore zeolites and mesoporous aluminosilicates catalyst to yield tert-butyl derivatives. Thianthrene on oxidation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and ligninase as catalyst from Phanerochaete chrysosporium yields thianthrene monosulfoxide. | [storage]
Store at -20°C | [Purification Methods]
thianthrene from Me2CO (charcoal), AcOH or EtOH. It sublimes in a vacuum. [Beilstein 19 H 45, 19 I 619, 19 II 34, 19 III/IV 347, 19/2 V 49.] |
