Abstract
Irradiation of 2-cyano-N-methylpyrrole in methanol and in furan and of 2-cyanopyrrole in furan gives, in addition to the corresponding 3-cyanopyrroles, adducts whose structures, together with other experiments, indicate a transposition mechanism involving 2,5-bonding followed by ‘walk’ of the aziridine nitrogen atom.Keywords
