Abstract:Three thioether functionalized formamidines RNHC(H)NR (R=2‐SMe‐C6H4, 2‐StBu‐C6H4, 2‐SPh‐C6H4) were prepared from the corresponding amines RNH2 and triethyl orthoformate. X‐ray crystal structure determinations revealed the typical E configuration about the amidine C=N bond for all three compounds. The 2‐SMe and 2‐StBu derivatives exhibit the most frequently observed anti orientation of the RNH group while the 2‐SPh derivative displays the much more rarely encountered syn arrangement. All three compounds exhibit… Show more
