Abstract

The experimental determinations of combustion energies and the standard molar enthalpies of formation of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole are presented. The combustion energies of compounds were determined by using a rotating-bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter used in the present work has been assembled, calibrated, and tested recently in our laboratory with desired results. As combustion auxiliary material, polyethene was used and its combustion energy was determined by using a static-bomb calorimeter. The combustion energies of 2-SH-benzazoles were used to derive the correspondent formation enthalpies in condensate phase at T = 298.15 K. The values of ΔfHm for the compounds are (48.6 ± 1.4) kJ · mol−1, (85.3 ± 1.5) kJ · mol−1, and (−112.7 ± 1.4) kJ · mol−1, respectively.

Introduction

The 2-SH-benzazoles, with a vast variety of molecular structures, are chemical compounds known by their application in biology and their study as antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agents in medicine [1], [2], [3]. The 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole are used as inhibitors of metallic copper and copper alloys corrosion in archaeological artifacts. The compounds were tested for their effectiveness in preventing the conversion of copper (I) into copper (II) compounds, which causes major damage in archaeological copper artifacts [4]. The heterocyclic compounds studied in the present work play an important role in organic synthesis. The 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and its derivatives have been used since 1920 as a primary accelerator to speed up the rubber vulcanization process to improve features of natural rubber [5]. Despite the applications of 2-SH-benzazoles in chemical and industrial fields, no combustion and formation enthalpies were found in specialized literature.

The present work is focussed on the experimental determination of the standard (p = 0.1 MPa) combustion energies and formation enthalpies in condensate phase of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2MBN), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2MBS), and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (2MBO) at T = 298.15 K by using a rotating-bomb calorimeter. The molecular structures of 2-SH benzazoles studied are shown in figure 1.

According to figure 1, the compounds studied here are derivatives of benzimidazole (BN), benzothiazole (BS), and benzoxazole (BO), respectively, for which their enthalpies of formation in condensate state are (79.5 ± 1.3) kJ · mol−1, (144.03 ± 0.70) kJ · mol−1, and (−24.20 ± 1.1) kJ · mol−1, respectively [6], [7].

Experimental

The 2MBN (cr), 2MBS (cr), and 2MBO (cr) are Aldrich and Fluka compounds. Reported mass fraction purity for 2MBS was higher than 0.99 and it was used without additional purification. The mass fraction purities for 2MBN and 2MBO were less than 0.98 and they were purified by repeated recrystallizations from (methanol + ethanol) mixtures and (ethanol + water + acetone) mixtures, respectively (solvents were Aldrich, HPLC grade), and then dried at T = 373 K for 10 h in a furnace. The mass fractions determined

Results and discussion

When the 2-SH-benzazoles were burned, the products of combustion process in the bomb were a sulphuric and nitric acids aqueous solution and a gaseous phase. Typical results of combustion experiments of 2MBN, 2MBS, and 2MBO are given in table 2 and correspond to the reactions (1), (2), (3), respectively.C7H6N2S(cr)+10O2(g)+113H2O(l)=7CO2(g)+(H2SO4·115H2O)(aq)+N2(g)C7H5NS2(cr)+11.25O2(g)+229.5H2O(l)=7CO2(g)+2(H2SO4·115H2O)(aq)+0.5N2(g)C7H5ONS(cr)+9.25O2(g)+113.5H2O(l)=7CO2(g)+(H2SO4·115H2O)(aq)+

      For phenyl sulfide, a calorimetric equivalent of ε(calor) = (14362.7 ± 2.2) J·K−1 was used, where the uncertainty corresponds to the standard uncertainty, which was previously reported [18]. Diphenyl disulfide, which is liquid at room temperature, was encapsulated in polyethylene bags, which have a combustion energy of (-46372.6 ± 2.2) J·g−1 where the uncertainty corresponds to the standard uncertainty and an empirical molecular formula CH2.073 [19]. In combustion experiments of 2-aminophenyl phenyl sulfide, it was necessary to use benzoic acid as an auxiliary material to promote total oxidation of the sample.

      In our Thermochemistry Laboratory, we are interested in determining thermodynamic properties of aromatic heterocyclic compounds that include oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur; our aim is to understand the effects that these heteroatoms and other substituents have on the thermochemical parameters, particularly the enthalpies of formation. We have previously reported experimental studies that determined energies of combustion and enthalpies of formation in the condensed phase of several series of heterocycles, such as 2-SH-benzazoles [1] and the series 2-acetylpyrrole, 2-acetylfuran and 2-acetylthiophene [2]. Currently, we are interested in studying the thermochemical parameters of carboxylic derivatives of benzofuran, indole and benzothiophene that include: benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (BF2CA), indole-2-carboxylic acid (I2CA) and benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (BT2CA).

      By using about 9 mg of polyethene, traces of carbon residue were not found and the combustion was total. The standard massic energy of combustion of polyethene is Δcu° = −(46372.6 ± 2.2) J ⋅ g−1 [6]. All the combustion experiments were carried out in the presence of 0.1 cm3 of demineralized water measured with Eppendorf pipette (volume: 10 to 100 μL) and 3.55 MPa of oxygen (mass fraction = 0.99999), Air Liquid Corp.

      The first experiments showed that RA and MR did not undergo a complete oxidation and a large quantity of unburned residue remained in the crucible and at the bottom of the bomb. It was therefore necessary to use an auxiliary combustion substance and for this we used polyethylene bags with a specific combustion energy of Δcu° = −(46.3726 ± 0.0022) kJ · g−1, which was determined with a static bomb calorimeter [32]. The mass of the polyethylene bags used were the smallest possible to contain the compound and for performing the complete oxidation.
