Electronic State of Ethoxycarbonylnitrene Generated by α-Elimination under Two-phase Conditions

Abstract
The base decomposition of ethyl p-nitrophenylsulfonyloxycarbamate in organic-aqueous two-phase systems in the presence of cis- or trans-4-methyl-2-pentene and quaternary ammonium or phosphonium halides afforded both stereospecific and nonstereospecific addition products of ethoxycarbonylnitrene. The electronic state of the nitrene was analyzed on the basis of Skell’s hypothesis.
