Jm. Cooney et al., REACTIONS OF ORTHOMANGANATED ARYL KETONES WITH PHNSO AND RELATED SPECIES - A NEW ROUTE TO ORTHOMANGANATED IMINES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 516(1-2), 1996, pp. 191-197
PhN=S=O reacts with some orthomanganated acetophenones to replace the
ketone oxygen with a Ph-N group, so generating the corresponding ortho
manganated imine. No insertion into the Mn-C bond was observed, in con
trast to analogous reactions of SO2. The related PhS(O)(2)N=S=O or (Ph
S(O)(2)N=)(2)S did not react under the same conditions. The X-ray crys
tal structure of one of the new imine complexes, (N-phenylimino)ethyl]
phenyltetracarbonylmanganese, was determined.
