Chiroptical properties of the inherently non-planar nitroamine chromophore in N-nitroaziridines
Abstract
The long-wavelength Cotton effect (CE) of the nitroamine chromophore is very sensitive to structural non-planarity and nelicity; the sign of this CE for N-nitroaziridines has the same connection with the intrinsic chirality of the chromophore as m the case of N-acyl-, N-nitroso-aziridines and aziridinones.
