Abstract

Abstract: The microwave spectrum of N-chloromethylenimine and 1-azetine has been observed following pyrolysis and dehydrochlorination of N-chloroazetidine, respectively. In addition, pyrolysis of 1-azetine gives another unstable molecule, 2-azabutadiene. The rotational constants determined are A= 62434.90 (lo), B= 6676.389 (13), and C= 6022.843 (11) MHz for N-chloromethylenimine, A= 62344.73 (1 l), B= 6531.700 (13), and C= ...
