Abstract

A series of twenty S-benzyl ortho-aminothiophenol and S,S′-xylylene-bridged bis(ortho-aminothiophenol) compounds and their imine derivatives have been synthesized in moderate to excellent yields and characterized. The syntheses were optimized, including large-scale syntheses, and an improved purification method involving the HCl salt was developed. This paper also serves as a comprehensive review of xylylene-bridged bis(ortho-amino­thiophenol) compounds.

Key words

Schiff bases - sulfur - nitrogen - ligands - alkylation
