Action of N-bromosuccinimide on methine carbons of N,N′-bis(benzoylacetone)ethylenediaminatonickel(II) and -copper(II)

Abstract

By the action of N-bromosuccinimide on ,N′-bis(benzoylacetone)ethylene-diamine complexes of nickel(II) and copper(II), both the bromo and succinimido substitutions on methine carbons occured. Three products were simultaneously obtained: dibromo-, bromo-succinimido-, and disuccinimido substituted complexes.
