The chlorination of acyclic N,N-dialkoxyamines under the action of tert-BuOCl results in the formation of unstable N-chloro-N,N-dialkoxyamines wich in situ react with sodium methoxide to give previously unknown trialkoxyamines (orthonitrites).The properties of the N-chloro-N,N-dialkoxy- and trialkoxyamines have been demonstrated to be similar to those of their carbon analogues: dialkoxyalkylchlorides and orthoesters, respectively.
