Primary and secondary o-nitrosobenzamides can be prepared in a "redox" cell but are unstable in the solvent used for electrolysis (acetate buffer-alcohol).At room temperature N-aryl-2-nitrosobenzamides give 2-carboxyazobenzenes.N-alkyl-2-nitrosobenzamides decompose thermally into 2-methoxy or 2-ethoxycarbonylphenylhydrazones according to the alcohol used.Similarly, methyl benzoate (or ethyl benzoate) is obtained from 2-nitrosobenzamide.A possible mechanism involves an unstable heterocycle formed by the coupling of the two nitrogen atoms (nitroso and amide) followed by cleavage of the carbonyl-nitrogen bond resulting from nucleophilic attack of the solvent (water or alcohol).
