Abstract

Previously claimed stable solid aryldiazoisocyanides were found to be crude arylazides, and dehydration of formamides as a route to stable N-isocyanides must be viewed with caution; stable N-formyltriazenes are confirmed and literature difficulties with reproducible syntheses are explained.
