Treatment of 2-phenyl-3-vinyl-substituted 2H-azirines with Grubbs' catalyst induces a clean rearrangement and affords products derived from carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage of the 2H-azirine ring. However, when the reaction was carried out using Wilkinson's catalyst in an alcoholic solvent, the only product obtained in high yield corresponded to an α,β-unsaturated oxime
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.
