N-Nitrosation chemistry of amines is an important and well-established reaction in organic synthesis. 1 The most general reagent is nitrous acid, generated from sodium nitrite and mineral acid in water or in mixed alchoholwater solvents. 2 Other nitrosating agents, such as Fremy's salt, 3 bis (triphenylphosphine) nitrogen (1+) nitrite, 4 N-haloamides and sodium nitrite under phase-transfer conditions, 5 oxyhyponitrite, 6 dinitrogen tetroxide, 7 solid ...
