The mechanism of the formation of 2,7-disubstituted phenazine in the oxidation of 4'-substituted benzen-sulfenanilide was studied by employing the PM3 method. Calculation of the total energy suggested that the homolytic cleavage of the S-N bond of cation radical (A) derived from benzenesulfenanilides was not a spontaneous reaction at room temperature. The following mechanism has been suggested. Dimerization of A followed by proton migration gives (4-substituted phenyl) (5-substituted-2-(phenylthioamino)phenylthioamine (5), which is oxidized to give a cation, which is then cyclized to give 2,7-disubstituted 5,10-phenylthio-5,10-dihydrophenazine (6). The acid hydrolysis of 6 gives diphenylthiosulfinate and 2,7-disubstituted-5,10-dihydrophenazine, and the latter is oxidized to 2,7-disubstituted phenazine by dissolved oxygen in the reaction solution.
