Novel Burgess reagent mediated C-to-N aryl migration reaction in nitrones†
Abstract
Nitrones undergo useful transformations with Burgess reagent. The reaction ostensibly involves a [3 + 2] annulation across a σ-bond followed by rearrangement involving C-to-N aryl migration. On the basis of available experimental evidence, plausible mechanisms for the rearrangement and the overall conversion have been proposed.
