Nitrile Imines and Their Properties

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Nitrile Imine 1,3-Dipole

Abstract

This chapter introduces the nitrile imine 1,3-dipole, examining the history behind its discovery and the core spectroscopic characteristics associated with the species. The different resonance forms available to nitrile imines can often complicate their characterisation, however appropriate interrogation of data such as UV-Vis, IR and NMR spectra may elucidate the core properties of the dipole. Substitution on either terminus of this typically highly reactive intermediate can also improve stability, enabling the isolation of some nitrile imines at room temperature.
