O. Mamoun et H. Benhaoua, ADDITION OF AZOMETHINE YLIDES FROM CORRES PONDING 2-ALKOXYCARBONYLAZIRIDINES WITH SOME VINYLISOCYANATES, Bulletin des Societes chimiques belges, 103(12), 1994, pp. 753-761
The addition of azomethine ylides generated from the thermal ring open
ing of the corresponding 2-alcoxycarbonylaziridines on various vinylis
ocyanates occured exclusively on the C=N double bond. Only one orienta
tion of the addition was observed in accordance with previous work in
this area. The structure of the epimeric imidazolidones obtained was e
stablished by spectroscopic methods (RMN(1)H,C-13 and mass spectrometr
y).
