N-isopropylidene-N'-2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl hydrazine, a reagent for reduction of alcohols via the corresponding monoalkyl diazenes.
The reagent N-isopropylidene-N'-2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl hydrazine (IPNBSH) is used in the reduction of alcohols via the loss of dinitrogen from transiently formed monoalkyl diazene intermediates accessed by sequential Mitsunobu displacement, hydrolysis, and fragmentation under mild reaction conditions.
