Flash vacuum thermolysis of 1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butanes. Photoelectron spectrum of 3-phenyl-2-azabuta-1,3-diene
Résumé
The reaction behaviour of 1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butanes under flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) conditions was studied. It has been found that the thermal rearrangement of title compounds produces unstable 2-aza-1,3-dienes. The formation of these products was established by reduction, by Diels-Alder reactions and by UV photoelectron spectroscopy. © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003.
