Abstract
Abstract Ethyl nitroacetate is a source of three nitrile oxides: thermolysis results in elimination of ethanol and carbon dioxide to generate formonitrile oxide (HCN + O - ), whereas treatment with phenyl isocyanate and a base gives either ethoxy-carbonylformonitrile oxide (EtO 2 CCN + O - ) or cyanoformanilide N -oxide (PhNHCOCN + O - ) depending on the reaction conditions.
