Chiroptical properties of the non-planar nitrosamine chromophore in N-nitrosaziridines
Abstract
The sign of the long-wavelength Cotton effect in the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of N-nitrosaziridines, possessing a non-planar nitrosamine chromophore, is determined by the intrinsic chirality of the chromophore, as in the cases of N-acylaziridines and gauche-cyclopropylketones.
