Abstract

A variety of R-ONN-azoxycyanides can be prepared in high yield from the nitroso-derivatives with cyanamide and (diacetoxyiodo) benzene. ... Until now only two methods for the regiospecific synthesis of R-ONN-azoxycyanides (1) (R = aryl) have been reported, namely the dehydration of the corresponding amides (2) using thionyl chloride in dimethylformamide,l and the oxidation of the parent arenediazocyanides (aryldiazenecarbonitriles) (3) (R = aryl) with 85% ...
