Synthesis of 1-alkoxy-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-triazene 2-oxides.

Synthetic procedure to access the first representatives of a new series of 3-monosubstitued functional derivatives of 1-alkoxy-1-triazene 2-oxides, i.e., 1-alkoxy-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)- and 1-alkoxy-3-(2-acetoxyethyl)-1-triazene 2-oxides, were elaborated. 1-Alkoxy-3,3-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-triazene 2-oxides were used to derive 3-(2-acetoxyethyl)-, 3-(2-bromoethyl)- and 3-(2-cyanoethyl)substituted 1-alkoxy-3-(2-acetoxyethyl)-1-triazene 2-oxides.
