Abstract

The synthesis and hydrolytic decomposition of 1, 3-dimethyl-3-(diethoxyphosphinyl) triazene (DMP), 1, 3-di-methyl-3-carboethoxytriazene (DMC), 1, 3-dimethyl-3-acetyltriazene (DMA), and 1, 3-dimethyl-3-(N-methyl-carbamoy1) triazene (DMM) are described. The kinetics of hydrolysis of DMP and DMC were investigated in aqueous buffers as a function of pH. DMP was found to be subject to acid catalysis up to pH 4.5 but then followed uncatalyzed ...
