Abstract

The study of strained molecules allows chemists to explore the limits of stability in organic chemistry, and permits calibration of theory and experiments in extreme cases.'Three- membered rings possessing carbonyl groups are usually unstable and quite reactive because of the large strain energies. a-Lactones have been generated at very low temperatures and observed spectroscopically, 2 and a-lactams are also unstable unless ...
