Notes:
IR-spectroscopic investigations of light-induced rearrangement reactions of nitrosooxymethane (CH3ONO3), nitrosooxyethane (CH3CH2ONO) and N,N-dimethylnitrosamine ((CH3)2NNO) in low-temperature rare-gas matrices have established that these molecules are transformed in two photolysis steps to the previously unknown C-nitroso compounds nitrosomethanol (CH2(OH)(NO)), 1-nitrosoethanol (CH3CH(OH)(NO)), and methyl(nitrosomethyl)amine CH2(NO)(NH)(CH3). Evidence for a similar rearrangement reaction has been advanced for N-Nitrosopyrrolidine which is converted to C-nitrosopyrrolidine . The matrix-isolation technique in combination with wavelength-selective irradiation allowed to trap and characterize an intermediate of rearrangement which revealed to be nitroxyl (HNO) complex (CH2…HNO, CH3CHO…HNO, CH3N = CH2…HNO, and ). Since these findings have a close resemblance with rearrangement reactions of more complex nitrosooxy compounds, nitrosamines, or nitrosohydrazines used in organic synthesis, it is suggested that also in these reactions nitroxyl is present as an intermediate species.
