1,3-Dipolare Cycloaddition aromatischer Nitril-ylide und Nitril-oxide an Dicyan und Diazocyanide

1,3 Dipolar Cycloaddition of Aromatic Nitrile Ylides and Nitrile Oxides with Cyanogen and Diazocyanides Nitril ylides 2 generated from the imidoyl chlorides 1 react with cyanogen and aryldiazocyanides to 2,5(4)-dia-ryl-1H-imidazole-4(5)-carbonitriles 3a , b or 5(4)-(arylazo)-2,4(5)-diaryl-1H-imidazoles 4a and 2,3,5-triaryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-carbonitriles 5a – f , respectively (Scheme 1). Reactions of benzonitrile oxides 7 with these dipolarophiles lead to 3,3′-diaryl-5,5′-bi1,2,4]oxadiazoles 8a – c or 3-aryl-5-(arylazo)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 9a – j (Scheme 2).
