Y. Matsuya et al., A MILD DEHYDRAZINATION REACTION OF ARYLHYDRAZINES USING NITRIC-OXIDE IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN, Tetrahedron, 53(46), 1997, pp. 15701-15710
A new dehydrazination reaction of arylhydrazines using nitric oxide an
d oxygen as a mild nitrosating agent is described. Taking advantage of
non-aqueous and non-acidic medium appears to cause this novel selecti
vity as a counterpart of the azide synthesis by the conventional metho
ds. The generality and reaction mechanism were also investigated. (C)
