Abstract: In this Letter, we present a synthetic and structural study into bis-imino substituted diiminoisoindolines, which can be synthesized either via CaCl2 mediated reaction of phthalonitrile with primary amines, or via direct reaction of these amines with unsubstituted diiminoisoindoline. The preferred synthesis does depend on the methodology, and in two cases singly substituted adducts were formed. The single crystal X-ray structures show that, with the exception of the bis-naphthyl compound, the anti conformation is preferred, and that the ionizable hydrogen atom resides on an exocyclic nitrogen rather than the central isoindoline nitrogen atom.

Abstract: The synthesis of 1,8-dithia-4,11-diazacyclotetradecane L3 , a member of a series of [14]aneN2S2 ligands, has been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of [1,8-dithia-4,11-diazacylotetradecane] L3 and [1,8-dithia-4,11-diazayclotetradecane dihydrochloride] L3·2HCl are presented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
