N-nitroamides

Although this reaction does not lead to an alkanediazonium ion, it is obvious that it is another method that is closely related to the deamination pathways discussed in this section. The azoxytoluenesulfonate method is related to the use of N-nitroamides as a source for carbocations because the leaving group is also nitrous oxide (7-10). The A -nitroamide decomposition was used extensively by White and coworkers in the 1960 s and 1970 s (see White and Grisley, 1961 White et al., 1973 White and Field, 1975, and literature cited there). N-Nitro carbamates (7.25, R = OR") can also be used.
