Several years ago we described the synthesis of a new class of alkyltriazenes, 1, 3-dialky1-3- acyltriazenes.'These compounds are more stable than the parent l, &dialkyltriazenes, which undergo rapid specific acid-catalyzed decomposition in aqueous buffers to produce alkylamines and an alkyldiazonium ion intermediate. 2 In our initial report,'we noted that the hydrolytic decomposition of 1, 3-dialkyl-3-acyltriazenes exhibits a complex dependence ...
