30. Compound 4a was quantitatively converted to 3a upon treatment with one equivalent of potassium hydroxide in refluxing toluene.

35. Aziridine 16 f could be isolated by column chromatography when nitrone 1 f and 2 were reacted with triethylamine in excess in toluene at 110°C (24 %). (Equation presented).

37. Futhermore, no evidence for formation of the dimer of triphenylmethane radical (the Ullman hydrocarbon 18) was found. (Equation presented).

40. In 1983, the reaction of 2-morpholin-4-yl-acrylonitrile (2) with nitrone 1b was reported by Döpp to give 1-morpholin-4-yl-3-phenyl-3-phenylaminoethanone 6b as the sole product (34 %); however, its formation remained unexplained: D. Döpp, J. Walter, Heterocycles 1983, 20, 1055-1061.
