Conjugated N-isocyanides; a reassessment and a correction of claimed stable conjugated N-isocyanides. Stable N-formyltriazenes; a confirmation
Abstract
Previously claimed stable solid aryldiazoisocyanides were found to be crude arylazides, and dehydration of formamides as a route to stable N-isocyanides must be viewed with caution; stable N-formyltriazenes are confirmed and literature difficulties with reproducible syntheses are explained.
