Chemists usually generate diazomethane by treating the N -nitroso compound Diazald with base and then distilling the resulting diazomethane with a specialized apparatus to lessen the chance of ...

WHEN an ice-cold benzene solution (12 c.c.) of perbenzoic acid (0.6 gm.) was added (during a period of 5 min.) to a benzene solution (12 c.c.) of diphenylene diazomethane (0.5 gm.) at 45°, a ...

Diazomethane (CH 2 N 2) is widely used in organic synthesis, for example as a reagent in esterification, dipolar cycloaddition and epoxidation. However, the use of diazomethane is limited by its ...
