Abstract: | The reaction of trialkylaminocyanimides with aromatic nitrile oxides leads to trialkylamino-(3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)imides, while the corresponding reactions with sulfylcyanimines and phosphincyanimides do not take place. Using x-ray structural analysis the principal structural features of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole products have been elucidated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2084–2089, September, 1990. |
