N. Coskun et al., Beckmann fragmentation of diphenylcarbamoylated N-aryldiphenacylamine dioximes. New method for the synthesis of imidazooxadiazolones, SYN COMMUN, 29(22), 1999, pp. 3889-3894
N-Aryl-N,N-diphenacylamine dioximes were prepared by the reaction of corres
ponding arylamines with alpha-bromoacetophenone oxime in ethanol-water at r
oom temperature. These compounds reacted with aryl isocyanates in acetonitr
ile to give imidazooxadiazolones 9. The probable mechanism of the reaction
is discussed.
