Reaction of Bis(dimethylglyoximato)(pyridine)styrylcobalt(III) Derivatives with Arenesulfenyl Chloride

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.53.287

cis-Styryl and trans-styryl-type cobaloximes, having a para-substituent on the styrene moiety, give the corresponding cis- and trans-(styrylthio)benzene derivatives in excellent yields by the reaction with 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfenyl chloride.The substitution proceeds stereospecifically with retention of configuration except for the case of cis-(p-cyanostyryl)cobaloxime.
