Abstract

Although there has been considerable current interest in the synthesis of cyclic polynitro compounds,'nitrocyclobutanes are relatively unstudied. Reported examples of this class of compounds are 1-nitrocyclobutane2 and several phenyl-substituted derivative^.^ The preparation of nitrocyclobutanes is complicated by the fact that standard nitrite ion displacements of cyclobutyl halides or tosylates is too slow to be of practical synthetic ...
