Azafulvenium methides: new extended dipolar systems
Abstract
The transient 8π 1,7-dipolar azafulvenium methides 5 and 8 undergo sigmatropic [1,8] H shifts and the acyl derivatives 12 electrocyclise to give novel pyrrolooxazines 13; the related diazafulvenium methide 15 can be intercepted in 8π + 2π cycloadditions with silylated acetylenes.
