How to name nitro equivalent of an enolate
« on: May 09, 2007, 07:34:48 PM »
Hi, I'm trying to determine how to name an intermediate I'm working with.  A general structure is at http://www.kempinger.us/bin/nitro_ion.gif.  It's the nitro equivalent of an enolate, but I'm not sure what name it would take.

Any ideas what to call it?

Hmm.  Perhaps it's some sort of oxime-derived name?  I dunno.  You've got one interesting compound, though. :)

I think you may be able to call it a nitronate - see eg Anderson's work on the nitro Mannich reaction http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jo048304h ?

how about an oximium ion? Or maybe an N-oxo-oximium? Wild guess really, but report back if you do find out!
