Reaction of 4-nitrobenzofuroxan with methoxide ion in methanolic dimethyl sulphoxide solution gives rise to 7-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzofurazan (as the anion) and 7-methoxy-4-nitrobenzofurazan (as the methoxide C-7 adduct); the proposed reaction mechanism invokes the formation of several transient intermediates. The results bear on the postulated mechanism for the antileukemic activity of 4-nitrobenzofuroxan.

Contrasting behaviour is observed when 2- and 4-methoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine interact with methoxide ion in dimethyl sulphoxide. The 4-methoxy compound affords both methine and acetal sigma complexes, the latter being thermodynamically more stable. The interconversion is catalysed by methanol. Labelling experiments have established that the sigma complex from the 2-methoxypyridine is formed by addition at C6; no conversion into the acetal could be effected. These observations are rationalized in terms of differential steric and solvation effects. Demethylation and rearrangement reactions of 4-methoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine are reported.

The conversion of the methine complex (4; R1 = H) into the more stable isomer (5; R1 = R2 = H) is reported.

Triisopropylsilyltrifluoromethanesulfonate can be effectively used for the arylation of a wide range of enelactams. The multinuclear NMR study provided deep insights into the reaction mechanism.
