1883these reflections, though weak, are present. The contributions of the two arsenic atoms to the hkO reflections cancel one another at present and the carbon atoms only contributy because they have different y co-ordinates. We suspect that the y (and possibly also the z) co-ordinates of the two arsenic atoms are not identical as shown in Table 3, but these two atoms could not be resolved in the OkZ projection.We thank Prof. A . L . Rheingold who suggested the problem and kindly supplied the crystals.Summary. Phenylglyoximes are transformed in a single operation into 3-amino-4-phenylfuroxans which rearrange quantitatively to their 3-phenyl-4-amino-isomers above 80". A mechanism for the synthesis is proposed and supported by the isolation of intermediates. Proof for the structure of both furoxan isomers and intermediate phenylaminoglyoximes rests on chemical transformations, mechanistic considerations, and the influence of certain structural changes on the UV.spectra.
Mitteilung.I n letzter Zeit sind mehrere Reaktionen bekannt geworden, welehe auf eine Wochselwirkung zwischen einem ungesiittigten Kohlenstoffatom und einer dazu 8-standigen Doppelbindung schliessen lassen. Da die ungesiittigten Zentren durch ein gesattigtes Kohlenstoffatom getrennt sind, hat man die Erscheinung als Homokonjugation bezeiehnet ".Eine derartige Wechselwirkung konnte, wie bereits in der Literatur vermerkt ist "), zwischen den Doppelbindungen des Bicyclooctadiens (I) erwartet werden, und zwar um so eher, als kurzlich im ahnlich gebauten Bicyclo-heptadien (11) homokonjugative Additionsreaktioncn festgestellt w-erden konnten3).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
