[3 + 2]-Cycloadditions of nitrile ylides after photoactivion of vinyl azides under flow conditions

The photodenitrogenation of vinyl azides to 2H-azirines by using a photoflow reactor is reported and compared with thermal formation of 2H-azirines. Photochemically, the ring of the 2H-azirines was opened to yield the nitrile ylides, which underwent a [3 + 2]-cycloaddition with 1,3-dipolarophiles. When diisopropyl azodicarboxylate serves as the dipolarophile, 1,3,4-triazoles become directly accessible starting from the corresponding vinyl azide. © 2013 Cludius-Brandt et al.

[(3-Chlorobenzamido)methyl]triethylammonium chloride

We report the synthesis of [(3-chlorobenzamido)methyl]triethylammonium chloride in a reaction of N-(chloromethyl)-3-chlorobenzamide and triethylamine in dry acetone. The structure of the newly synthesized compound was characterized with1H-NMR,13C-NMR, FTIR and Mass spectroscopy. © 2015 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
