METAL-ASSISTED REACTIONS-PART 11 RAPID REDUCTION OF N-NITROSOAMINES TO N,N-DISUBSTITUTED HYDRAZINES; THE UTILITY OF SOME LOW-VALENT TITANIUM REAGENTS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(82)80184-1

The rapid reduction of N-nitrosoamines to N,N-disubstituted hydrazines by a low-valent titanium reagent is described.The reagent is selective in that many other functional groups are unaffected by it.The nature of the low-valent titanium reagent is discussed in terms of experimental results of comparisons of its reactivity and that of other low-valent titanium reducing agents.
