Ma. Zolfigol et al., Oxidation of urazoles to their corresponding triazolinediones under mild and heterogeneous conditions via in situ generation of NO+IOx-, SYN COMMUN, 31(13), 2001, pp. 1965-1970
A combination of periodic or iodic acids and sodium nitrite in the presence
of wet SiO2 was used as an effective oxidizing agent for the oxidation of
urazoles and bis-urazoles to their corresponding triazolinediones under mil
d and heterogeneous conditions with good yields.
