Pm. Gorbovoi et al., Reaction of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates with vinyloxyethyl glycidyl ether in the presence of thiocyanato group, RUSS J G CH, 70(11), 2000, pp. 1763-1765
Vinyloxyethyl glycidyl ether reacts with aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates i
n the presence of thiocyanate group with release of nitrogen from the diazo
group and addition across the double bond of the aryl and thiocyanato grou
ps to form [2-(1-thiocyanato-2-arylethoxy)ethoxymethyl]oxiranes. The reacti
on is efficient only in the presence of a catalyst (copper salts). The ster
eo- and regiospecificity of the reaction are consistent with the results of
quantum-chemical calculations.
