1,3-dipole
  
|
| From top to bottom, azides, nitrones, and nitro compounds are examples of 1,3-dipoles. |
In organic chemistry, a 1,3-dipolar compound or 1,3-dipole is a dipolar compound with delocalized electrons and a separation of charge over three atoms. They are reactants in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions.[1][2]
Known 1,3-dipoles are:
- Azides (RN3)
- Ozone (O3)
- Nitro compounds (RNO2)
- Diazo compounds (R2CN2)
- Some oxides
- Azoxide compounds (RN(O)NR)
- Carbonyl oxides (Criegee zwitterions)[3][4]
- Nitrile oxides (RCN-O)
- Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- Nitrones (R2CN(R)O)
- Some imines:
- Azomethine imine
- Nitrilimines (RCN-NR, analogous to nitrile oxide)
- Carbonyl imines
- Some ylides
- Azomethine ylide
- Nitrile ylide (RCNCR'2)
- Carbonyl ylide
- Thiosulfines (R2CSS)
