The thiocyanohydroxylamines formed in this manner are not very stable compounds. 0, N- diethyl-N-thiocyanohydroxylamine distilled from 45 to 46'at 2 mm. but decomposed rapidly when exposed to the air at room temperature. At 0" this substance showed no signs of decomposition after several hours. The corresponding 0, N-dibenzyl compound was a white crystalline solid; mp 50-52". At room temperature it could be kept for about forty-eight ...
