the m/e 28 peak is nitrogen, of course, and some could be ethyne-úí? formed by facile isomerization31•32 of ethenylidene which would arise by loss of nitrogen from 3.Work on the kinetics and key intermediates is underway. If the initial steps proposed prove correct, this is further testimony to the lack of reactivity of the diazirine ring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
