J. Nakayama et al., Preparation of a new class of inner salts by formal addition of tosyl nitrene to the sulfur atom of inner salts, alpha-carbeniodithiocarboxylates, CHEM LETT, (11), 2000, pp. 1248-1249
2,2-Bis(diethylamino)-2-ethylium-1-dithiocarboxylate (1a) was S-iminated by
[N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)imino]phenyliodinane to provide a novel inner salt (4a
) that formally possesses a thione-S-imide structure (>C=S=NR) as one of th
e canonical structures.
