In our continuing investigations on the further applications of this complex in organic synthesis, we found that

• different reactivity. Therefore, the attack of the oxygen of an O-bonded alcohol on the electrophilic acyl carbon in our complexes seems to be favoured, since no demethylation is involved, and the C–O coupling occurs selectively instead of the intramolecular C–N bond formation. It seems that the reaction is

The reaction of 1,4-naphthoquinone with 4-aminothiophenol in an NMR tube is studied to explain that 2-(4-anilinothiolato) 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative to be

•  3c). Surprisingly in this reaction the product formed is through C-S bond formation rather than C N-bond formation (Scheme 4). The presence of a few well-separated peaks of the products from the starting materials in the NMR spectra (designated by A) shows the formation of the one product with time

• complete understanding of the mechanism but the observations hint towards a radical mechanism rather than an ionic mechanism. In contrast to the reaction of 4-aminothiophenol with 1,4-naphthoquinone the reaction of 4-aminophenol gave the expected product through C-N bond formation. The structures of the
