An in-depth analysis of the effect of substituents on imines in cycloaddition reactions with nitrosoalkenes

The effect of substituents on nitrogen of simple acyclic imines in their cycloaddition reactions with nitrosoalkenes supported by theoretical calculations is reported. The effect of substituents on carbon of imines has also been examined to broaden the scope of these reactions. The reactions of various simple as well as functionalized imines with nitrosoalkenes have been explored profoundly.
