Kv. Gothelf et al., ON THE STRUCTURE OF C,N-DIPHENYLNITRONE IN 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS, Acta chemica Scandinavica, 51(12), 1997, pp. 1234-1235
The geometry of C,N-diphenylnitrone, used in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition
reactions with alkenes. has been investigated using X-ray diffraction
, NMR spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. Based on these inves
tigations it is confirmed that the nitrone has Z-geometry in the solid
phase and in solution.
