Participants

Reaction Steps

1-t-Butylazo-1-cyanocycloheptane was prepared in 100% crude yield by oxidizing 1-t-butylhydrazo-1-cyanocycloheptane with bromine using the same procedure described in Example XIIIC for the oxidation of 1-t-butylhydrazo-1-cyano-1-cyclopropylethane. The crude product was chromatographed over alumina and the product eluted with pentane. The infrared spectrum of the purified product was consistent with the structure of the desired azo. The compound has a 10 hour half-life in trichlorobenzene at approximately 68°C.
