Reaction of Nitrosobenzene with 4-Methoxy-N-methyleneaniline

A 1:1 adduct produced in the reaction of nitrosobenzene (2) with 1,3,5-tris(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazinane (3) has been shown by X-ray diffraction structure analysis to be the N'-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-phenyl-N-oxyformamidinium species 5.
