Abstract
4-Nitrofuroxans (4-nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxides) were prepared by a dinitrogen trioxide–mediated domino reaction of acrylic acids under the action of NaNO2 excess in AcOH at room temperature. The reaction proceeds completely regioselectively and presents a new, simple, general, and safe method for the preparation of both 3-aryl- and 3-alkyl-4-nitrofuroxans available with difficulty before. A mechanism for the furoxan ring construction through a four-step one-pot protocol is proposed. The synthesized nitrofuroxans have been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.
