Abstract

As part of our study of the chemistry of a-diazo sulfones, 6 we wish to describe the synthesis of o-nitrophenylsulfonyldiazomethane (3), the sulfonyl analog of 1, and some reactions of 3 with strong acids. The two main questions we posed in this study follow: does the nitro group participate in the acid-promoted decomposition of 3 and, if so, are the o-nitro substituted compounds7 1 and 3 significantly more labile toward acids than their p-nitro substituted ...
