Diethyl azodicarboxylate is a reagent commonly used for the oxidation of thiols. Diethyl azodicarboxylate is a strong electron acceptor and easily oxidizes a solution of sodium iodide in glacial acetic acid. It also reacts vigorously with hydrazine hydrate producing diethyl hydrazodicarboxylate and evolving nitrogen.
