Rationale for the direction of regioselectivity in the photocycloaddition of arylazirines
Abstract
The photoconversion of substituted arylazirines (1) into methoxyimines (3) proceeds via a nitrile ylide intermediate (2); deuterium labelling results indicate that the electron density is highest on the disubstituted carbon atom of the nitrile ylide.
