| As part of our study of the reactivity of 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl)oxirane-2-carbonitrile towards nucleophilic reagents, we studied its reaction with sodium methoxide in methanol at room temperature. The sole product of this reaction was the corresponding imidate obtained from the hydrolysis of the cyano group. The mechanistic aspects of this reaction as well as future applications of these new compounds will be discussed. All the new products were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometry, FT-IR, and 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopies. |
