1,2-Bis(diphenyl-phosphino)-1,2-diethyl-hydrazine
Abstract:
The title compound, C(28)H(30)N(2)P(2), adopts a well documented and studied gauche conformation around the hydrazine bond. Bond lengths and angles are in the typical ranges expected for P-N and P-C bonds. A normal hydrazine N-N bond length of 1.426 (3) Å is observed.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
