Oxygen halogen compounds reaction with

These compounds generally exist in carbonyl forms. The oxygen function can be converted into halogen by phosphorus halides. Reactions with electrophiles are quite complex. Thus urazole (511) reacts with diazomethane quickly to yield (512), which is more slowly converted into (513). 1-Phenylurazole gives (514) however, 4-phenylurazole yields (515). Oxadiazolinones of type (516) can be alkylated at both O- and N-atoms.
