Abstract From 3-methyl-4-furoxancarboxylic acid hydrazide and 4-methyl-3- furoxancarboxylic acid hydrazide the corresponding azides have been synthesized. 3- Methyi-4-furoxancarboxylic acid azide normally underwent the Curtius reaction to give the expected carbamic acid derivative. The degradation of 4-methyl-3-furoxancarboxylic acid azide led to the N-(4-methylfuroxan-3-yl)-carbamic acid derivative at low temperatures ...
