The Chemistry and Utility of Diazoalkanes.
Abstract
The special aspect of diazoalkane chemistry that was the focus of the work concerns the mechanism of the carbene C-H insertion reaction and related processes, the requisite carbenes being produced by photolysis of diazo compounds. One line of research involved experiments with 2-(o-diazomethylphenyl)-bicyclo (2.2.1) heptane which yields a variety of C-H insertion products upon photolysis. Another line of research involves the synthesis and decomposition of an aryldiazomethane in which the anticipated reaction should be an intramolecular transfer of a pair of hydrogens to the carbene center, resulting in the formation of an olefin.
