Ketenimine chemistry. Part 1. The reaction of triaryl ketenimines with arenesulphenyl chlorides
Abstract
Benzenesulphenyl chloride reacts with diphenyl-N-p-tolylketenimine in diethyl ether solution to give N-(1-chloro-2,2-diphenyl-2-phenylthioethylidene)-p-toluidine (IV), via the attack of electrophilic sulphur on the terminal carbon of the ketenimine.
