Abstract

Abstract Ultraviolet irradiation of a series of 2H-imidazole N-oxides 2 has been shown to effect a clean isomerisation to derivatives of the new ring system, 1, 3-diaza-6-oxabicyclo [3.1. 0] hex-3-ene, 7. Epoxidation of a representative 7 has given access to the hitherto inaccessible trans-fused 1, 3-diaza-4, 7-dioxatricyclo [4.1. 0. 1, 6 0 3, 5]-heptane ring system 9.
