Description

<p>Tautomerization, autoxidation and bond-exchange reactions of 2-mercaptopyridine derivatives were investigated in solution, by using several kinds of solvents. A 2-mercaptopyridine derivative having an N-benzylamide group was dissolved not only in water but also in cyclohexane, although the solubility toward such solvents was lower than that toward methanol or chloroform. From the UV-Vis spectra, it was confirmed that thione-type isomer was major in these solvents except for cyclohexane. Autoxidation reactions were monitored in methanol or methanol-d4, and ca. 36% of 2-mercaptopyridyl groups were oxidized into disulfide bonds within a month in 1H-NMR spectral measurements. Bond-exchange reactions between 2,2’-dipyridyl disulfide and a thiol compound were observed more clearly in methanol than in chloroform, suggesting a solvent effect to dissolution of corresponding disulfide compounds.</p>
