The syntheses of the nitrilium salts NMe>+3SCF3 i, PhCH2, Ph, CH2=CHCH2, NC(CH2)3, and CH2=CH> by reaction of MeO3SCF3 with the corresponding nitriles are described. the similar reaction between (E)-PhCH=CHCN and MeO3SCF3 gives a mixture of NMe>+SCF3 and the s-triazinium salt 3C3N3H>+3SCF3, which hydrolyzes to give (E)-PhCH=CHCONHMe and the triazine.The compound CF3SO3(CH2)4CN, prepared from I(CH2)4CN and AgO3SCF3, does not form a cyclic nitrilium salt, but slowly dimerizes at room temperature to N(CH2)4CN>+3SCF3.Both I(CH2)4CN and CF3SO3(CH2)4CN can be converted into the salt NMe>+3SCF3, but this does not form a dinitrilium salt on reaction with acetonitrile.On heating benzophenone oxime with CF3SO3H Beckmann rearrangement products are obtained, but conversion of +SCF3 into the nitrilium salt NPh>*3SCF3 ocuurs in only low yield even after 8 h at 130 deg C under high vacuum.The nitrilium salts with R = Ph, Me, Pri, and PhCH2 undergo rapid exothermic reaction with phenol, thiophenol, alcohols, and thiols to give the corresponding imidate and thioimidate salts in high yields. 4,4-Dimethy-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazoline is obtained in 74percent yield on heating NMe>+*3SCF3 with H2NCMe2CH2OH, and both this and 2,4,4-trimethyloxazoline react with MeO3SCF3 to give almoust quantitative yields of the corresponding N-methyloxazolinium salts, which can be reduced to the oxazolidines with NaBH4.N-Methyloxazolinium salts have also been obtained from the reactions of nitrilium salts (R = Ph or Me) with ethylene oxide.
