Synthesis and Characterisation of Phenylantimony(III) Derivatives of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) Benzothiazolines

Abstract

Equimolar reactions of PhSb(OMe)2 (prepared in situ) and 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazolines LH2 yield the addition products PhSb(OMe)2LH2, while equimolar reactions of PhSbCl2 with Na2L yield Schiff's base derivatives PhSbL, with rearrangement of the benzothiazoline ring. All these derivatives have been characterised by elemental analyses and plausible structures established
