Ak. Sharma et al., REGIOSELECTIVE AND UNUSUAL [3-NITROSOSTYRENES WITH 1,3-DIAZA-1,3-BUTADIENES(2] CYCLOADDITIONS OF ALPHA), Tetrahedron letters, 34(49), 1993, pp. 7961-7964
alpha-Nitrosostyrenes (2), generated in situ, underwent unusual regios
elective [3+2]cycloadditions with 1,3-diaza-1,3-butadienes (1) leading
to cyclic nitrones (5) in good yields. They also gave cyclic nitrones
(8) with trisubstituted amidines (7).
