Important mechanistic information can be obtained from the reaction rates of the two diazoates with acid. The older literature, e. g., publications by Grachev (1947 a, 1947 b, 1948), by Porai-Koshits (1960), and by Porai-Koshits et al. (1946, 1960), will not be reviewed here because it is outdated and in some cases the results were not reproducible (see Lewis and Suhr 1958 b, footnote 5). On the basis of the above discussion of the formation of the (Z)-diazoate from the diazonium ion by reactions 1 and 2 of Scheme 5-14, one might assume that the reverse process should be easy to follow experimentally. This is not the case, however, as was first shown simultaneously by Lewis and Suhr (1958 b) and by Passet and Porai-Koshits (1958). The investigation of the acidification of (2i)-4-nitrobenzenediazoate is difficult due to irreversible decomposition, particularly at pH >5. Lewis and Suhr (1958b) observed,...
