Abstract:
A versatile synthesis of diazopeptides is reported and several new compounds described. It is shown that diazopeptides form readily from gaseous nitrogen dioxide in both neutral buffers and human blood. In these media, diazopeptides are sufficiently stable (half-time 0.5-30 h) to qualify as potential circulating carcinogens.
