Reactions of NN-dialkylanilines with diethyl azodicarboxylate and with ozone
Abstract
Thermolysis of the adduct formed from N-phenylpyrrolidine and diethyl azodicarboxylate leads to a mixture of isomeric dimers whose structures and mechanisms of formation have been elucidated. The same dimers are formed by ozonation of N-phenylpyrrolidine. Other NN-dialkylanilines and their reactions with the azodicarboxylate as well as with ozone are described.
