Vv. Tkachev et al., SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF -TETRAHYDROFURYLIMINO)-3-METHYL-4-NITRO-3-THIOLENE 1,1,-DIOXIDE, Journal of structural chemistry, 33(5), 1992, pp. 707-711
An X-ray diffraction structural analysis and spectral study were carri
ed out on crystals of urylimino)-3-methyl-4-nitro-3-thiolene-1,1-dioxi
de obtained by the nitrosylation of 3-methyl-4-nitro-3-thiolene 1,1-di
oxide in tetrahydrofuran. The reaction conditions presumably facilitat
e the formation of iminoxyl and alpha-tetrahydrofuryl radicals with su
bsequent recombination. The formation of alpha-tetrahydrofuran is impo
rtant evidence for the existence of the starting compound in NH-nitron
e form.
