New Diazoalkane-generating Agents and Stable Diazoalkanes

Abstract

N-[(N-Nitrosoalkylamino)methyl] amides were recently reported from author's laboratory as new precursors for generating diazoalkanes. This review introduces N- [(N-nitrosoalkylamino)methyl]-carbamates and N-[(N-nitrosoalkylamino)methyl]benzamides as new diazoalkane-generating agents with their superiorities for practical use and stable diazoalkane-reagents, N, N-dialky1-4-diazome-thylbenzenesulfonamides prepared in this way, as new UV-detective labelling agents for acidic substances. © 1980, The Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan.
