X-Ray crystal structure analysis of a 2H-azirine. Unusually long C–N bond assuring preferential C–N bond fission in thermal reactions
Abstract
An X-ray crystal structure analysis of a 2H-azirine showed that its lopsided triangular structure, caused by an unusually long C–N bond, could explain the preferential C–N bond fission in thermal reactions of 2H-azirines.
