2,2'-Hexamethyl-enedi-1,3-benzothia-zole
A novel compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)S(2), was synthesized using suberic acid and 2-amino-thio-phenol. Microwave irradiation facilitated this efficient chemical reaction, yielding the target molecule.
Area of Science:
- Organic Chemistry
- Materials Science
Background:
- Suberic acid is a dicarboxylic acid commonly used in polymer synthesis.
- 2-amino-thio-phenol is a bifunctional aromatic compound containing both amine and thiol groups.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize a novel heterocyclic compound with the chemical formula C(20)H(20)N(2)S(2).
- To investigate the utility of microwave irradiation in accelerating the synthesis of this compound.
Main Methods:
- The synthesis involved the reaction of suberic acid with 2-amino-thio-phenol.
- Microwave irradiation was employed as the energy source to drive the reaction.
- The resulting compound's structure was characterized (though not detailed in the abstract).
Main Results:
- The target compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)S(2), was successfully prepared.
- The reaction proceeded efficiently under microwave irradiation.
- The molecule was found to possess a specific crystallographic feature: it lies on an inversion center.
Conclusions:
- Microwave irradiation provides an effective and potentially rapid method for synthesizing this class of compounds.
- The synthesized compound C(20)H(20)N(2)S(2) exhibits specific molecular symmetry due to its placement on an inversion center.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
