Studies dealing with the dipolar cycloaddition reactions of 2-diazo-4,5-dicyanoimidazole
Abstract
The dipolar cycloaddition reactions of 2-diazo-4,5-dicyanoimidazole with 1,1-dimethoxyethylene and 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene have been studied; it is proposed that the reaction proceeds via the nitrene form of the diazo compound.
