P. Molina et al., 4-MEMBERED HETEROCYCLIC RINGS FROM IMINOPHOSPHORANES - PREPARATION AND REACTIVITY OF 2,4-DIIMINO-1,3-DIAZETIDINES AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS, Journal fur praktische Chemie, Chemiker-Zeitung, 335(4), 1993, pp. 305-315
Aza Wittig-type reaction either of iminophosphoranes derived from N-am
inoheterocycles or bis(iminophosphoranes) has been found to be an usef
ul method for the synthesis of the four-membered ring 1,3-diazetidine.
This account deals with the following cyclization reaction, reactivit
y and synthetic utility of this ring system and related compounds.
