Abstract :
N-4-R-Benzyl-N-nitrosoamides were decomposed at various temperatures in selected solvents. From
their decomposition rates, contributions from DH* and DS* evidently depend upon intramolecular and solvent
effects consistent with an early metastable oxadiazetyl-type entity in the first and rate-determining step of
nitrosoamide thermolyses as opposed to a first, slowest step to a trans-diazoester
