Nitrilium salts are of formula:- R-(C triple bond circled positive N-R' n circled negative OSO2Cl n (where n is 1 or 2, and when n = 1, R is an opt. substd. alkyl, aralkyl, aryl, or cycloalkyl and when n = 2, R is an alkylene, cycloalkylene or arylene and R1 is lower alkyl). Prepd. by reacting nitriles R- C triple bond N n and cpds. Cl-SO2-OR' at 0-120 degrees C. |
