Novel aurophilic organic ligands based on 1,3-dibromo-propan-2-ol and 2-aminothiophenol

The nucleophilic substitution reactions in 1,3-dibromo-propan-2-ol and the products of its acylation under the action of 2-aminothiophenol were investigated. It was shown that the resulting derivatives containing nitrogen and sulfur donor atoms form coordination compounds in the reactions with copper(II) salts. The possibility of chemosorption of the obtained ligands and complexes containing additional disulfide fragments on the gold electrode surface with the formation of an Au-S bond was demonstrated.
