Abstract:

As an important organic functional compound, 2-methylbenzothiazole derivatives has been widely used in sensitizing dyes. In the process of sythesis of dyes, the dye intermediates could be hydrolyzed to form another substance easily. In order to determine the structure of the new substance, a dye intermediate, named 2-(2-ethoxy-1-butenyl)-1-(3-sulfopropyl)benzothiazole(3), was synthesized using 2-methyl benzothiazole and 1,3-propane sultone as the starting material, then hydrolyzed in water to form the new substance(4e), which was characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction methods. The MS spectrum showed the molecular weight of the product was 327, which was corresponding to the target compound 4e. The 13C NMR spectrum showed the chemical shift of the carbon that connected to the enol hydroxyl group was δ 194.05, and the chemical shift of the carbon that connected to the double bond was 92.52, which implied the existence of enol structure. The IR spectrum also showed the enol hydroxyl characteristic absorption peak at 1618 cm-1. X-Ray diffraction displayed the structure of the target compound intuitively. Through the characterizations of the compound, the new substance was comfirmed to be a stable enol that contained the conjugated aromatic structure.
