Abstract: | The insertion reaction of CS2 with Mg(NR2)2 (R= Et, iPr), MgR′2 (R′= Et, Ph) and R″MgBr (R″= iPr, Ph) respectively lead solid products, Mg(S2CNR2)2(THF)n ( 1 : R= Et, n=2; 2 : R= iPr, n=1), Mg(S2C′R)2(THF)2 ( 3 : ′R= Et, 4 : ′R= Ph), BrMg(S2C″R) (THF)3 ( 5 : ″R= iPr, 6 : ″R= Ph) in which the inserted carbon disulfides act as terminal chelating ligands. These compounds were characterized with 1H, 13C NMR, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analyses, and X‐ray crystallography. |
