Reaction of N-(1-Cyanoalkyl) alkylideneamine N-Oxide with Dipolarophiles and Nucleophiles. II. 1, 3-Addition Reaction with Carboxamides

Abstract

N-(1-Cyanoalkyl) alkylideneamine N-oxide reacts with carboxamides to give N-(1-cyanoalkyl)-N-(1'-carboxamido-alkyl) hydroxylamines. The reaction is catalyzed by strong bases. On warming in solvents these adducts readily decompose to the starting nitrones and amides, and the decomposition is accelerated by elevation of temperature.
