S. Danoun et al., STUDY OF THE REACTIVITY OF NITRILES TOWAR DS DIAZOMETHANE - SYNTHESISAND STRUCTURAL STUDY OF N-METHYL-V-TRIAZOLES, Bulletin de la Societe chimique de France, 132(9), 1995, pp. 943-951
In this work, we examined the effect of diazomethane on 12 nitriles. F
ive gave rise to three isomeric N-methyl-upsilon-triazoles, which were
isolated. Their structural features were established and, in one case
, corroborated by X-ray analysis. A generalization of the structural a
ttribution by C-13 NMR is proposed. A study of the electronic distribu
tion was carried out for a total of 17 nitriles and helped establish a
predictive criterion of their reactivity towards diazomethane.
