Abstract

Aromatic nitroso compounds in the presence of base and 2-(α-hydroxyalkyl)-3, 4- dimethylthiazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate and related salts furnish in variable yields O- and N-acyl-aryl hydroxylamines and 3, 4-dimethylthiazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate. A primary kinetic isotope effect of 4.9, obtained for the appropriate 2α-deuterated thiazolium salt, points to the C2α–H bond cleavage as the rate determining step. Radical species ...
