Abstract
The nitrosation of dimethylphenacylsulfonium bromide (I) with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid in water gave 3,4-dibenzoyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxide (II) in a 76% yield. The nitrosation of I in a similar manner in 1 : 1 dioxane-water afforded ω-chloro-ω-isonitrosoacetophenone (III) in an 80% yield. The treatment of III with triethylamine produced II through benzoylnitrile oxide (IX). 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of IX generated from III were conducted, using methyl methacrylate, styrene, acrylonitrile, and ethyl chloroformate as dipolarophiles, to yield the expected cycloadducts. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.
