Products of the oxidation of 1-(diaminomethylene)thiourea with hydrogen peroxide.
Two oxidation products of 1-(diaminomethylene)thiourea (HATU) are reported, obtained from reactions with hydrogen peroxide at two different concentrations; these are 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-thiadiazole, C(2)H(4)N(4)S, (I), related to HATU by intramolecular N-S bond formation, and 1-(diaminomethylene)uronium hydrogen sulfate, C(2)H(7)N(4)O(+).HSO(4)(-), (II). In (I), molecular hydrogen-bonded chains could be distinguished, further organized in a herring-bone-like pattern. The structure of (II) is stabilized by an extensive network of N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds, where hydrogen-bonded anion chains and characteristic cation-anion motifs are present. The compounds are of importance not only with respect to crystal engineering, but also in the design of new synthetic routes to HATU transition metal complexes.
