Nitrogen reaction + chloromethanes

Trimethylsilylcyanide has been used to produce cyanogen chloride (Nachbaur et al., 1978). The reaction of active nitrogen and chloromethanes (e.g., carbon tetrachloride) has been reported to involve formation of cyanogen chloride (Sobering and Winkler, 1958).

Chloromethanes react with nitrogen dioxide in the gas phase. Carbon tetrachloride reacts slowly at 385 °C whereas the other chloromethanes are more reactive. The kinetics of the reactions involving the three lower...

The reaction of /i-chlorotellurenylvinylaryl ketones 2 with acyl chlorides in di-chloromethane or acetonitrile promoted by nitrogen bases (triethylamine, pyridine, 2,6-dimethylpyridine) gives rise to l,6-dioxa-6a-tellurapentalenes 39 in 11-85% yields (8701597) (Scheme 24).
