Abstract
Air oxidation of the iron(III) complex derived from (2-mercaptoisobutyryl)-4,5-dichloro-O-phenylenediamine in the presence of Et4NCN afforded the corresponding disulfinato species. With two carboxamido nitrogens trans to two S-bonded sulfinates, this complex mimics the disulfinate inactive form of Fe-NHase.
