摘要:S-Guaiazulene-sulfonic acid (II), prepared from S-guaiazulene (I) by treatment with sulfur trioxide-dioxane complex was converted into the sodium salt. Treatment of the sodium salt (IV) with phosphoryl chloride gave a monochloro-S-guaiazulene (VI). The same chloro derivative was obtained from 3-acetyl-S-guaiazulene (V) with sodium hypochlorite. However, these chlorination conditions did not give any chloro derivative when applied to S-guaiazulene (I). The chloro derivative thus obtained was identified with a product obtainable from S-guaiazulene (I) by its treatment with N-chlorosuccinimide. Since the structure of 3-acetyl-S-guaiazulene (V) had been confirmed in the preceding paper of this series and as the two chlorination reactions which gave the chloro derivative from the two substituted S-guaiazulenes, (II) and (V), did not give the former directly from S-guaiazulene, it is concluded that the chloro derivative produced from (II) and (V) is 3-chloro-S-guaiazulene and the sulfonated S-guaiazulene (II) is S-guaiazulene-3-sulfonic acid.
