Abstract

SUMMARY: Besides denitrogenation to the tricycloalkane 8, the photolysis of azoalkane 2 affords the diazoalkane 4, which serves as precursor to the minor hydrocarbon products-z, 19 and 11; irradiation of azoalkane 3 with the 333.6 nm line of an 18-W argon ion laser was essential to obtain preparative quantities of diazoalkane 4 for its detection and identification.
