We report the apparently unprecedented direct reaction of nitric oxide (NO) with amides to generate ions of structure R(C═O)NH-N(O)═NO(-), with examples including R = Me (1a) or 3-pyridyl (1b). The sodium salts of both released NO in pH 7.4 buffer, with 37 °C half-lives of 1-3 min. As NO-releasing drug candidates, diazeniumdiolated amides would have the advantage of generating only 1 equiv of base on hydrolyzing exhaustively to NO, in contrast to their amine counterparts, which generate 2 equiv ...[more]
