Gas Phase Identification of the Elusive N‑Hydroxyoxaziridine
(c‑H2CON(OH)): A Chiral
Molecule
Posted on 2020-06-23 - 22:03
The
hitherto elusive N-hydroxyoxaziridine molecule
(c-H2CON(OH)), a chiral, high energy isomer of nitromethane
(CH3NO2) and one of the simplest representatives
of an oxaziridine, is detected in the gas phase. Electronic structure
calculations propose an impending synthesis eventually via addition
of carbene (CH2) to the nitrogen–oxygen double bond
of nitrous acid (HONO). The oxaziridine ring demonstrates an unusual
kinetic stability toward ring opening compared to the isoeletronic
cyclopropane (C3H6) counterpart. This system
defines a fundamental benchmark to explore the formation and stability
of racemic derivatives of strained oxaziridines (c-H2CONH)
and changes our perception how we think about fundamental decomposition
and isomerization mechanisms in (model compounds of) energetic materials.
