This thesis reports the synthesis, conformational analysis and electronic interaction study of 4-substituted 2-ethylsulfinyl-phenylthioacetates (I) and 4-substituted phenylthioacetates (II) (reference compounds). The conformational analysis was performed through IR spectroscopy supported by theoretical calculations HF, B3LYP and NBO (Natural Bond Orbital). The vCO analysis for series (I) in general matches welI with the HF and B3LYP computations. These data indicate the existence of four stable conformations q-c2-sin (q-g-sin), g3-sin, g1-anti and q-g2-sin, being the first three conformations the only ones of reasonable populations and present in solution. As expected for the sulfinyl thioesters, in the DFT method the q-g-sin conformation is obtained instead of the q-c2-sin conformation of the HF method. Both in the HF and B3LYP the (q-c2-sin, q-g-sin) and g3-sin conformations show degenerated vCO frequencies and they correspond in the IR spectrum (solution) to the doublet higher frequency component of larger intensity. The g1-anti conformation corresponds to the doublet lower frequency component of smalIer intensity. In general, HF and DFT calculations reproduce well the experimental results. The relative population of the higher vCO doublet frequency component, which corresponds to the summing up of [(q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin (DFT) and g3-sin (HF and DFT)] conformation populations, with respect to the lower frequency component, which corresponds to g1-anti conformation population (HF and DFT), varies from (100%, CCl4; 100%, CHCl3) in the 4-nitro derivative (1) to (90%, CCl4; 83%; CHCl3) in the 4-metoxi derivative (6). While the q-c2-sin (HF) conformation is stabilized by the Oδ-(CO)....Sδ+(SO) electrostatic and nO(CO)/σ*S-O, nO(CO)/σ*C6-H6 orbital interactions, the q-g-sin, g3-sin e g1-anti (HF and DFT) conformations are stabilized by the σC4-S5/π*C1-O2 (strong), πC1-O2/σ*C4-S5, nS/π*C1-O2, nO(SO)/π*C1-02, nO(CO)/σ*C6-H6 (weak) and π*C1-O2/σ*C4-S5 interactions. All the conformations are strongly stabilized by: the n(S3)/π*C1-O2 and nO2(CO)/σ*C1-S3 e n02(CO)/σ*C1-C2 interactions, being stronger for the q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin, g3-sin (HF e DFT) conformations and weaker for the g1-anti conformation (HF and DFT). Furthermore, the sin [q-c2 (HF), q-g (DFT) and g3 (HF and DFT)] conformations are also stabilized through nO(CO)/π*Ph interaction and the g1-anti conformation is stabilized in the HF e DFT by the n2(SO)/σ*C11-H11 and πC9-C10/σ*C4-H4 interactions. This trend is in line with the higher the vCO frequency of [q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin (DFT)] and g3-sin (HF e DFT) conformations relative to the frequency of g1-anti (HF e DFT) conformation. As for the reference 4-substituted phenylthioacetates (II) the NBO method (HF and DFT) revealed that the n(S3)/π*C1-O2, nO2(CO)/σ*C1-S3, nO2(CO)/σ*C1-C2 and nO(CO)/π*Ph (weak) interactions are responsible for the larger stabilization of the sin conformation (the higher computed vCO frequency) with respect to the anti conformation (the lower computed vCO frequency) which is stabilized by the N(S3)/π*C1-O2, nO2(CO)/σ*C1-S3 and nO2(CO)/σ*C1-C2 along with the weak πC9-C1O/σ*C4-H4 interactions. The negative carbonyl frequency shiftS (Δv) for the [q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin (DFT)], g1-anti (HF e DFT) e g3-sin (HF e DFT) conformers of compounds of series (I) relative to the vCO frequencies (HF e DFT) of sin e anti conformers of series (II) are in good agreement with the summing up of the above mentioned electronic interactions. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the 4-bromo derivative (I) shows that this compound assumes in the solid state a geometry similar to that of the less stable q-g2-sin conformation
