Av. Samet et al., Structures of products of the reaction of dimethylsulfonium phenacylide with benzylidenecyanoacetamide, RUSS CHEM B, 48(7), 1999, pp. 1310-1315
Benzylidenecyanoacetamide reacted with dimethylsulfonium phenacylide to for
m 2-benzoyl-1-cyano-3-phenylcycloproparrecarboxamide and a product of its i
ntramolecular cyclization, viz., a derivative of 3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]hexan-2
-one. The structures of the products were established by X-ray diffraction
analysis.
