(5-ETHOXYCARBONYLMETHYLIDENE-4OXOTHIAZOLIDINE-2-ILYDENE)-1-PHENYLETANONE IN APROTIC MEDIA: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY 2010 ELECTROCHEMICAL AND SPECTRAL STUDY Isidora Cekić-Lasković 1,2, Dragica Minić 1,2, Rade Marković2,3, Elena Volanschi4 1Faculty of Physical Chemistry, Studentski trg 12, Beograd, University of Belgrade, Serbia, 2Center for Chemistry ICTM, P.O. Box 473, 11001 Belgrade, 3Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, Studentski trg 16, 11001 Belgrade and 4Faculty of Chemistry, University of Bucharest, Romania ABSTRACT Push-pull alkenes, consisting of one or two electron-donating groups (EDG) at the terminus of the C=C bond and one or two electron-withdrawing groups (EWG) at the other terminus, have been widely studied on the account of their low rotational barrier around the C-C double bond. This is attributed to the high degree of polarization, or in valence-bond language, to the importance of zwitterionic limiting forms of the push-pull alkenes as convenient description of their ground states. Previous electrochemical studies of selected 5-substituted 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines, as a typical representatives of push-pull alkenes, in aprotic polar solvents gave valuable insight on electrochemical behavior of these compounds. The aim of the present work is to study (5-etoxycarbonylmethylidene-4oxotiazolidine-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethanone (1), synthesized as mixture of (2E,5Z)- and (2Z,5Z)-1 isomers (molar ratio 90/10%), in order to assess the role of the C-C double bond at C(5) position, as well as EWG substituent on the electrochemical behaviour of selected 4-oxothiazolidines in terms of the reduction mechanism and the reactivity of the intermediate species. The comparison between experimental data and theoretical curves, calculated by means of the DigiSim software, indicates an ECECE reaction sequence as a major reaction pathway. It consists of monoelectronic reduction of the investigated compound to the anion radical (E), followed by deprotonation of the substrate by the anion radical to form the anion (C) and reduction of the anion to dianion radical (E). The dianion radical of predominant isomer (2E,5Z)-1 obtained at the second reduction step is observed by both, optical and EPR spectra. ylidene)-1-phenylethanone in DMSO Elucidation of the reduction mechanism Determination of the reaction intermediate species Investigation of the influence of the C(5)=C(5') bond, as well as electron withdrawing substituent on the electrochemical behaviour of selected 4-oxothiazolidines 15 Va 5 H 1 -5 -20 -100 -40 -60 -2 20 |c IIc il,IIc / Acm j / A/cm 2 10 0 -10 -160 -50 -180 -1,8 -1,6 -1,4 -1,2 -1,0 -0,8 -0,6 -0,4 -0,2 0,0 E / V vs Ag/Ag 0,0 E / V vs Ag/Ag 0,2 0,4 0,8 -200 -1,8 1,2 -1,5 2 3 4 5 (1) 6 7 0,0 8 1/2 -0,6 -0,3 0,0 350 0,3 (a) / rpm + Fig. 1.

SOMO at the optimized geometry of dianion radical (2E,5Z)2ˉ-1 in DMSO CONCLUSION The electrochemical results point to an ECECE reaction sequence. Unlike the previously studied related compound (5-etoxycarbonylmethylidene-4-oxothiazolidine-2-ylidene)-N phenylethanamide, where the chemical step following the first ET is E/Z isomerisation, the chemical step in this case is a rapid proton transfer between the electrogenerated base (EGB) anion radical and the substrate i.e. a self-protonation reaction. The proposed ECECE sequence is supported by DigiSim simulations, EPR and UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry in absence and presence of exogeneous base, which outline the role of the anion radical as EGB. Gas phase and solvent dependent semi-empirical PM3-MO calculations allow the characterization of all intermediate species evidenced by experimental data, in terms of their electronic structure and reactivity.
