Abstract

The Ag+ induced reaction of α-chloronitrones with unsaturated ethers goes in two parallel competitive directions. On the one hand cycloadducts like 3 are formed and on the other hand oxonium ions like 4. Formation of analogous oxonium compounds occurs also when α-alkoxynitrones are treated with Et3O+BF4- in 1,2-dichloroethane. Formation of oxonium compounds with the enol-ethers is practically irreversible and leads to enol-ether fragmentation. With the saturated ethers compounds like 25 were formed and were used as a potential source of N-alkyl-N-vinyl-nitrosonium ions.
