“…The net result of this process corresponds to a formal breaking of five bonds (as indicated in Scheme 3) with concomitant generation and dimerization of cyanogen oxide 6. Note that, previously, nitrile oxide 6 was only generated (i) from α-chloroα-cyanoformoxime by base treatment [11][12][13] and (ii) from 3-aminofurazan carboxylic acid by diazotization. 10 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition 14 of nitrile oxide 6 generated from carboxylate 5 was examined with styrene, cyclopentene, cyclohexene, 2,5-dihydrofurane, and phenylacetylene.…”
