Abstract

The reduction of selected nitrosamines by aqueous TiC13 has been investigated. In general, aliphatic nitrosamines were converted in good yield to the corresponding hydrazines, with little overreduction to the amines. Reaction proceeded rapidly at room temperature in both alkaline and acidic media. A variety of NJV-dialkylhydrazines have been isolated by using the TiC13 method, which compares favorably with previously reported procedures for ...
