Abstract

Abstract The reaction of five-and six-membered cyclic thiourethanes with acetyl nitrate results in a vigorous reaction that generates copious amounts of red–brown nitrogen oxide fumes and produces the corresponding cyclic N-nitrourethanes in high yields (> 95%). The overall yield of the cyclic N-nitrourethanes starting from an aminoalcohol using the “thiourethane” route is superior to the conventional route going through the cyclic ...
