摘要:
                                The reaction of zinc(II) acetate with thiosemicarbazones derived from P-keto esters (methyl propionylacetate thiosemicarbazone, ethyl benzoylacetate thiosemicarbazone, ethyl 2-ethylacetoacetate thiosemicarbazone and methyl acetoacetate N-1-ethylthiosemicarbazone) induces the cyclization of the thiosemicarbazone to afford [ZnL2] and (in one case) [ZnL2(MeOH)] complexes, where HL is a substituted 2,5-dihydro-5-oxo-1H-pyrazolone-1-carbothioamide. The four complexes were studied by X-ray diffraction, which showed that the pyrazolonate ligand binds with the metal through the S and N(3) atoms. The influence of cyclization and metallation on the H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of the starting thiosemicarbazones is also discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
