Synthesis and structure of di(NON-azoxy)formals and some related N-alkyl-N'-alkoxydiazene N-oxides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02505678

A series of di(NON-azoxy)formals and some related N-alkyl-N'-alkoxydiazene N-oxides were prepared by the reaction of N-nitrosohydroxylamine salts with dihaloalkanes. The dependence of the yield of di(methyl-NON-azoxy)formal on the reaction conditions and the nature of the cation was studied. The structure of di(methyl-NON-azoxy)formal and di(phenyl-NON-azoxy)formal as well as of the copper tert-butylnitrosohydroxylaminate was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.
