N-[(4′-Substituted phenylthio)ethyl] phthalimide la-g and their corresponding n-propyl 2a-g, n-butyl 3a-g derivatives have been synthesised. The structure of these compounds were proved by UV, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³CMR and mass spectra. The ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts of the adjacent methylene protons and carbons of both the sulfur atom and phthalimido nitrogen group were reasonably correlated using σ° values. The carbon-nitrogen and the carbon-sulfur bond fissions in alkaline and acidic media were discussed.
