4 results about "Nitrone" patented technology

A nitrone is a functional group in organic chemistry consisting of an N-oxide of an imine. The general structure is R₁R₂C=NR₃⁺O⁻ where R₃ is not H. A nitrone is a 1,3-dipole, and is used in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. Other reactions of nitrones are known, including formal [3+3] cycloadditions to form 6-membered rings, as well as formal [5+2] cycloadditions to form 7-membered rings. Nitrones should not be confused with nitrenes.
