Diphenylantimony(III) complexes of 2-alkylaminocyclopentene-1-carbodithioic acid and of their esters

Abstract

The reaction of Ph₂SbX (X = - Cl, or - O₂CMe) with sodium salts of 2-alkylaminocyclopentene 1-carbodithioic acids R(H)N<img src='http://www.niscair.res.in/jinfo/equation147.gif' border=0>C(S)SNa (R = H, Me, Et and <em>n</em>-Bu) in 1:1 molar ratio in THF yields the substitution products, Ph₂SbS(S)C<img src='http://www.niscair.res.in/jinfo/equation147.gif' border=0>N(H)R, whereas the reaction of Ph₂SbX with S-alkylderivatives of 2-aminocyclopentane-1-carbodithioicacid,H(H)N<img src='http://www.niscair.res.in/jinfo/equation147.gif' border=0>C(S)SR (R’ = Me, and –CH₂Net₂), under similar conditions leads to the formation of simple adducts only.
