Spontaneous conversion of 2-azido-3-nitropyridines to pyridofuroxans Article uri icon

abstract

  • Several pyridofuroxans were obtained by spontaneous N2 elimination from the corresponding 2-azido-3-nitropyridines. In this particular case, the presence of nitrogen in the pyridine ring must facilitate a cyclic extrusion mechanism. The pyridofuroxans prepared in this study did not present tautomerism as evidenced by NMR. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
