Synthesis and structure of Meisenheimer adducts in nucleophilic aromatic amination of 4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan

Abstract

Stable crystalline σ-complexes (Meisenheimer adducts) were isolated for the first time in the reactions of superelectrophilic 4,6- dinitrobenzofuroxan with dodecyl- and hexadecylamines, and their structure was determined by X-ray analysis. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
