Brønsted acid-mediated opening of nitroso cycloadducts under anhydrous conditions.
An unusual bicyclic hydroxamate resulted from C-O bond cleavage of acylnitroso hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadducts when treated with catalytic Brønsted acids under anhydrous conditions. Similarly, the formation of a nitrone was observed using one equivalent of triflic acid.
