Kinetics and Mechanism of Aliphatic Diazotizations

Secondary aliphatic amines form stable N-nitrosoamines, however, and therefore, their investigation will be discussed briefly in this section, although N-nitroso derivatives of secondary aliphatic amines do not fall within the scope of this book. We will see that kinetics and mechanisms of nitrosation of secondary amines display many similarities with the diazotization of primary aromatic amines.
