In organic chemistry, atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are generally referred to as heteroatoms. The most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Now I present to you an article called Chain-substituted methinecyanines and styryl dyes, published in 1956, which mentions a compound: 6797-13-3, mainly applied to , Formula: C9H9NO.
Various methinecyanines carrying a substituent on the chain have been prepared and their absorption maximum compared with those of the parent dyes. The procedure of Schott [Ber. 29, 1985(1896)] in which PhCH2CO2H (I) and PCl5 were reported to give PhCH2COCl (II) could not be reproduced. Instead, to 18 cc. boiling SOCl2 was added in 10 min. 27.2 g. I, the whole refluxed 0.5 hr. and distilled to give 77% II, b17 96-8°. To 17.8 g. II and 1 equivalent o-HSC6H4NH2.HCl was added 0.33 mole P2O5, the whole heated 8 min. in an oil bath at 160-175°, warmed with aqueous NaOH, the whole cooled, extracted with Et2O, and the Et2O extracts concentrated and distilled to give 29% 2-benzylbenzothiazole (III), b0.5 157-63°. III (9.82 g.) and 1.2 equivalents EtI heated 48 hrs. at 100° and the mixture treated with Me2CO gave 57% of the ethiodide (IV), yellow crystals, m. 181° (from EtOH). In similar fashion, were prepared 73% 2-(p-nitrobenzyl)benzothiazole, m. 115° (from EtOH) [ethiodide (V), m. 249° (decomposition)(from MeOH)] and 18% 2-(chloromethyl)benzothiazole (VA), b0.2 79-91°, m. 34° (from petr. ether); VA and EtI gave no ethiodide. To 20.85 g. Zn salt of o-H2NC6H4SH in 90 cc. boiling dry C6H6 was added gradually 1 equivalent EtO2CCOCl (VI) (b21 75-8°) in 120 cc. dry C6H6, the whole refluxed 6 hrs., filtered, the insoluble residue extracted with boiling C6H6, the C6H6 filtrates and extracts combined, washed with excess aqueous NaHCO3, washed with H2O, dried, and distilled to give 2-ethoxycarbonylmethylbenzothiazole (VIA), yellow liquid, b0.5 121-26° [methiodide (VII), m. 175° (decomposition) (from MeOH-Me2CO); ethiodide (VIII), m. 190° (decomposition) (from EtOH)]. To 0.81 g. o-HSC6H4NHEt (IX) in 4 cc. dry C6H6 was added 1.1 equivalent VI in 2 cc. dry C6H6, the whole cooled to room temperature, the liquid decanted, the gum washed with C6H6, the C6H6-insoluble residue dissolved in 2 cc. MeOH, and the MeOH solution treated with a warm solution of 2 equivalent KI in 4 cc. H2O to give VIII. By the same procedure, IX and ClCH2COCl in C6H6, followed by KI gave 13-19% 2-(o-ethylaminophenylthiomethyl)benzothiazole ethiodide (IXA), m. 158° (decomposition) (from MeOH). 2-Ethylthiobenzothiazole (X) 19.93 g. and 1 equivalent neutral Et2SO4 heated 8 hrs. at 110-20°, the whole dissolved in 120 cc. H2O, the solution extracted with Et2O, the aqueous solution separated, cooled, and treated with an excess of NaOH gave 30-83% 3-ethyl-2-oxobenzothiazoline (XI), colorless liquid, b0.5 101° (a contaminant which was difficult to sep. from XI was 3-ethyl-2-thiobenzothiazoline (XII)). X (19.5 g.) and 1 equivalent Et2SO4 heated 8 hrs. at 110-20°, the whole dissolved in 100 cc. C5H5N, and the solution refluxed 1 hr. and poured into warm H2O gave 82% XII, m. 77-8° (from MeOH). Freshly prepared 2-ethylthiobenzothiazole.EtI (XIII) 0.63 g. and 3 cc. C5H5N refluxed 10 min. and the whole poured into 12 cc. H2O gave 68% XII. On standing for several months, XIII was gradually converted to XII. Distilled XI (12.1 g.) in 24 cc. EtOH and 6 equivalents KOH in 70 cc. EtOH refluxed 1 hr., cooled, the K2CO3 filtered, the filtrate evaporated to dryness, the residue dissolved in 100 cc. H2O, the H2O solution cooled and made acidic with concentrated HCl, the oily product extracted with C6H6, and the C6H6 solution dried, concentrated, and distilled gave 77% IX, b0.5 57-60°. XII (19.53 g.) in 40 cc. EtOH and 6 equivalents KOH in 105 cc. EtOH refluxed 6 hrs. and treated as above gave 70% IX. o-H2NC6H4OH (XIV) 42.6 g. was added slowly to 3 equivalents (EtCO)2O, the whole was heated 0.5 hr. on a H2O bath, then distilled from an oil bath, rejecting material b. below 150°. The residual material was washed thoroughly with 10% Na2CO3 solution, separated, and distilled to give 28% 2-ethylbenzoxazole (XIVA), b0.3-0.5 40-3°; ethiodide (XV), colorless crystals, m. 198° (decomposition) (from EtOH). XIV (10.9 g.) and 1 equivalent PhCH2CO2H heated 3 hrs. at 200-25° (H2O vapor allowed to distil), the mixture cooled, treated with aqueous NaOH, extracted with C6H6, and the C6H6 solution concentrated and distilled gave 48% 2-benzylbenzoxazole (XVA), b0.3 118-25°; no ethiodide could be prepared and the Et p-toluene-sulfonate (XVI) was a gum which could be dissolved in EtOH and used in the dye condensations described below. To 1 mole 2-ethylbenzothiazole-EtI (XVII) and 1 mole 2-iodoquinoline-EtI (XVIII) in EtOH there was added 2.1 moles Et3N. The mixture stirred and refluxed 1-30 min., the whole cooled, treated with Et2O, the precipitated gum separated, and washed with Et2O gave 54-84% [2-(3-ethylbenzothiazole)][2-(1-ethylquinoline)]methylmethinecyanine iodide (XIX), olive-green dye, softens 125°, m. about 148° (from Me2CO and from EtOH). XIX was homogeneous as shown by a chromatogram from CHCl3 on alumina. XIX had a slight desensitizing action toward a photographic emulsion. In a similar experiment with 2-ethylbenzothiazole-p-MeC6H4SO3Et (XIXA), the gum precipitated with Et2O and heated with aqueous KI gave 66% XIX. XVII (0.8 g.) and 2-ethylthioquinoline reacted as above gave a mixture of 12% XIX and a trace of [2-(3-ethylbenzothiazole)][2-(1-ethylquinoline)]methinecyanine iodide, separated by absorption on alumina and elution with CHCl3-EtOH.
