Abstract
Reaction of ylenebis(methylenethio)]bis[ethanamine])copper(II) in alco holic base with formaldehyde and nitroethane yields the macrocycle 6,1 7,18,19-dehydrobicyclo[13.4.0]nonadecane)copper (II), which incorporat es an ortho-xylene unit as part of a 15-membered macrocylic ring with cis-N2S2 donors which also carry pendent nitro and methyl groups. Zinc -acid reduction of the complex permits isolation of a potentially quin quedentate N3S2-donor ligand.
