Abstract

The reaction of diphenylcyclopropenone with several N-substituted
hydroxylamine and primary amines are investigated. Most of these reactions
led to ring opened or ring enlarged products, instead of the desired N-Oxide
or imine. The reaction of cyclopropeneimine with peracid-another possible
route to N-substituted cyclopropeneimine N-Oxide is studied. Most of the
unexpected products are identified and herein reported
