Abstract

Treatment of benzaldehyde tosylhydrazone (I) with sodium methoxide in various solvents under irradiation and/or heating yields products arising from phenylcarbene (IV) which is produced by photolytic or pyrolytic decomposition of initially formed phenyldiazomethane (III). Reaction products originating solely from the tosylhydrazone (I) are (VI∼ XI) while those produced by the interaction with solvents are formulated as addition products of (VI) to ...
