Reaction of 3-acetoxymethyl-1-aryl-3-methyltriazenes with sodium thiophenolate or thiocresolate in anhydrous dimethylformamide affords a new series of 3- arylthiomethyltriazenes (2), Ar-S-CH2-NMe-N= N-Ar'. These triazenes are remarkably labile in aqueous buffer and may be good pro-drugs for the active metabolite of the antitumour dimethyltriazenes. The reaction of arenediazonium fluoroborates with 1, 3-thiazolidine in ...
