The non-photolytic method for generation of arylnitroso oxides based on the reduction of
nitrosobenzene by triphenylphosphine was used to study the products of the reaction of transphenylnitroso
oxide with trans-stilbene. N,α-Diphenylnitrone and benzaldehyde were found to be the
main stable products of the reaction, the first stage of which was [3+2]-cycloaddition to form the metastable
1,2,3-dioxazolidine intermediate. The obtained products were in agreement with our previous
theoretical predictions.
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.
