Abstract

During this work, we studied the reactivity of 4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one with Dibromine and with Sulfuryl Chloride by the DFT method at the level of base 6-311 G(d,p), using a descriptor of regio-selectivity called fukui indices. We noted from this study that the attack of Dibromine and Sulfuryl Chloride is carried out preferentially at the level of the C2=C3 bond of 4-isothiazoline-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazoline-3-one. We also noticed that the 4-isothiazolin-3-one/SO2Cl2 and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one/SO2Cl2 reactions are more favored kinetically than the 4-isothiazolin-3-one/Br2 and 2-methyl- 4-isothiazolin-3-one/Br2. The differences in electrophilic Δω between {Br2, SO2Cl2} and 4-isothiazolin-3-one and also between {Br2, SO2Cl2} and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one vary from 3.430649 eV to 3.611297 eV. This shows that all the reactions studied have a polar character (Δω >1).
