Abstract
The chemical stability of alkoxy-NNO-azoxy compounds to reduction with hydrazine hydrate has been studied. Methoxy-NNO-azoxymethane and bis(methyl-ONN-azoxy) formaldehyde acetal are more stable by orders of magnitude than bis(methoxy-NNO-azoxy)methane and 2,2-bis(methoxy-NNO-azoxy)propane. Methoxy-NNO-azoxymethane is also resistant to reduction with titanium(III) under acidic conditions and with iron(II) under basic conditions. Probable reaction mechanisms have been proposed on the basis of the substrate reactivity toward nucleophiles, acids, and alkalies.
