Abstract:The first procedures to prepare 4-bromo-4-methylpentanal and 4-azido-4-methylpentanal are reported. The latter compound and also the parent 4-azidobutanal do not lead to 4,5-dihydro-1,2,3,4-oxatriazoles by intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, although it was claimed to be so in the literature. The NMR spectroscopic data of such heterocycles reported previously do not agree with those of similar substances and are incompatible with (13)C NMR spectroscopic chemical shifts calculated by quantum chemical meth… Show more
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.
