Abstract

As part of our studies on developing new heterocyclisation reactions, 1 we have been investigating reactions where the nitrogen atom of a nitro substituent on an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring undergoes transformation into a new heterocyclic ring nitrogen. We have shown that nitroimidazolyl phosphoramidates undergo reaction with aryl isocyanates to form imidazo fused [1,2,3]triazoles , 2 and now wish to report our findings on the reaction of nitrobenzyl phosphonium salts ...
