Thermally Induced Sigmatropic Isomerization of Pseudosaccharyl Allylic Ether, The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 113, 15, 3517-3522, 2009.1089-5639AUT: MCR00716http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/4240The thermally induced sigmatropic isomerization of the pseudosaccharyl allylic ether [3-(allyloxy)-1,2-benzisothiazole 1,1-dioxide; ABID] has been investigated by a multidisciplinary approach using temperature dependent infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and polarized light thermomicroscopy, complemented by theoretical methods. Migration of the allylic system from O to N occurs in the melted ABID, and the thermally obtained 2-allyl-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide (ABIOD) starts to be produced at ca. 150 °C, in a process with an activation energy of ∼92 kJ mol-1. From kinetic data, a concerted [3,3′] sigmatropic mechanism is proposed. In the temperature range investigated, ABIOD was found to exhibit polymorphism. Cooling of the molten compound leads to the production of a metastable crystalline form, which upon annealing at room temperature might be transformed to the stable crystalline phase. ABID shows a single crystalline variety. Assignments were proposed for the infrared spectra of the observed neat condensed phases of the two compounds.engjournal article2014-06-05
