RESUMO
This work provides a summary of the preparation, structure, reactivity, physicochemical properties, and main uses of 1,2,5-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxides in chemistry and material sciences. An overview of all currently known structures containing the 1,2,5-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxide motif (including the anions radical species) is provided according to the Cambridge Structural Database search. The analysis of the bond lengths typical for neutral and anion radical species is performed, providing a useful tool for unambiguous assessment of the valence state of the dioxothiadiazole-based compounds based solely on the structural data. Theoretical methodologies used in the literature to describe the dioxothiadiazoles are also shortly discussed, together with the typical 'fingerprint' of the dioxothiadiazole ring reported by means of various spectroscopic techniques (NMR, IR, UV-Vis). The second part describes the synthetic strategies leading to 1,2,5-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxides followed by the discussion of their electrochemistry and reactivity including mainly the chemical methods for the successful reduction of dioxothiadiazoles to their anion radical forms and the ability to form coordination compounds. Finally, the magnetic properties of dioxothiadiazole radical anions and the metal complexes involving dioxothiadiazoles as ligands are discussed, including simple alkali metal salts and d-block coordination compounds. The last section is a prospect of other uses of dioxothiadiazole-containing molecules reported in the literature followed by the perspectives and possible future research directions involving these compounds.
RESUMO
This work reports a simple and efficient method for the copper-catalyzed redox-neutral transformation of alkyl nitriles using eco-friendly diaryliodonium salts and leading to N-arylacetamides. The method features high efficiency, broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.
