Abstract

Abstract: Diazosulfides L react with excess tetrabutylammonium cyanide in Me SO under photon (sunlamp) or electron (Pt cathode) stimulation to give the corresponding nitrl.? es. The results are interpreted on the basis of an S group. RN1 mechanism involving the (phenylthio) azo as nucleofugal
