An exceptionally simple and unexpected ‘one-pot’ synthesis of new 4,6-diazasemibullvalenes
Abstract
An exceptionally simple and unexpected ‘one-pot’ synthesis of the hitherto unknown 4,6-diazasemibullvalene derivatives (5) is achieved by reaction of the chloro-2-aza-1,3-dienes (2) with tetracyanoethylene; the structure of one of the products (5) has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
