Abstract

Our interest in trimethylsilyldiazomethane (TMSCHN 2 ) as a synthetic reagent originated from the hazardous nature of diazomethane (CH 2 N 2 ), which has been widely used in various organic reactions. 1, 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d TMSCHN 2 is stable and safe in contrast to labile and explosive diazomethane. We have already demonstrated that TMSCHN 2 can be effectively used not only as a C1-unit introducing reagent and a [C–N–N]azole synthon in place of diazomethane ...
