Va. Reznikov et al., Reactions of chloro-substituted enaminoketones, viz., derivatives of imidazolidine nitroxides, with sodium cyanide, RUSS CHEM B, 49(5), 2000, pp. 899-905
The reactions of chloro-substituted enaminoketones, viz, derivatives of imi
dazolidine nitroxides, with sodium cyanide afford the corresponding nitrile
s. The reactions proceed through formation of epoxides. The structure of on
e of these epoxides was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.
