The reaction between 5‐nitro‐2,1‐benzisothiazole‐3‐diazonium species and N‐substituted anilines produces the 1‐(5‐nitro‐2,1‐benzisothiazol‐3‐yl)‐3,3‐disubstituted triazenes 1. These triazenes are highly stable, and even in strongly acidic medium (0.5 mol⋅L−1 H2SO4) they are only slowly decomposed back to the diazonium ion and substituted anilinium ion (for the N‐ethyl derivative in 0.5 mol·L−1 H2SO4 at 25 °C, t1/2 ≈︁ 7 h). A series of six triazenes were characterised by their 1H and 13C NMR spectra and mass spectra. Two of the triazenes were also identified by X‐ray crystallography. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
