Abstract

The rapid reduction of N-nitrosoamines to N, N-disbustituted hydrazines by a low-vanet titanium reagent is described. The reagent is selective in that many other functional groups are unaffected by it. The nature of the low-valent titanium reagent is discussed in terms of experimental results of comparisons of its reactivity and that of other low-valent titanium reducing agents.
