S. Sinha et al., ELECTROPHILIC BEHAVIOR OF NITROSYL BOUND TO OSMIUM COMPLEXES OF 2-(ARYLAZO)PYRIDINE - DIAZOTIZATION OF AROMATIC PRIMARY AMINES, Transition metal chemistry, 23(2), 1998, pp. 151-154
Diazotization of aromatic primary amines with the nitrosyl group deriv
ed from [OsX(NO)L-2](ClO4)(2), L = 2-(m-tolylazo)pyridine; X=Cl (1a),
X=NO2 (1b) is described. The reaction sequence was followed by isolati
ng the products at various stages; the products were characterized by
physicochemical and spectroscopic methods.
