Simple aliphatic nitrile oxides are extremely unstable and isomerize even at 0'in dilute solutions within seconds or, at best, minutes to the corresponding dialkylfurazan oxides (furoxans, 1, 2, &oxadiazole 1-oxides). 2J Only recently a few representatives of aliphatic nitrile oxides have been obtained &s monomew by working at temperatures of approximately-4OO.'Trimethylacetonitrile oxide [1,(C&) aC-ChN+ O] is the only member of ...
