The outcome of the oxidations of unusual enediamide motifs is governed by the stabilities of the intermediate iminium ions.
We compare the results from the oxidation of two unusual "enediamide" motifs (3,4-dihydropyrazin-2(1H)-ones), where a double bond is flanked by two amides. In one case the oxidation led to a ring-opened product arising from the cleavage of the double bond, and in the other a rare cis-dioxy...
