Abstract

Abstract: 1, 3-Bisdiazopropane was prepared by treatment of crystalline potassium propane- l, 3-bisdiazotate, which is thermally stable to 168 O, with protonic solvents. In cyclohexene solution, 1, 3-bisdiazopropane slowly decomposed at room temperature to nitrogen and pyrazole. Kinetic studies showed that 3-diazopropene was not an intermediate, although it also cyclizes to pyrazole. The possible mechanisms are discussed. isdiazoalkanes have ...
