Am. Churakov et al., NOVEL REACTION OF 1-ARYL-2-BROMODIAZENE 1-OXIDES WITH OLEFINS - SYNTHESIS OF 1-ARYL-2-(2-BROMOALKYL) DIAZENE 1-OXIDES, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(5), 1995, pp. 890-896
The addition of 1-aryl-2-bromodiazene 1-oxides to olefins yields 1-ary
l-2-(2-bromoalkyl)diazene 1-oxides (4). A radical mechanism of the rea
ction has been suggested. Compounds 4 decompose to give bromohydrazone
s of formaldehyde and aldehydes. The structural factors that affect th
e rate of this process are discussed.
