Abstract

Abstract: Photolysis of aryldiazomethanes in methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol gave OH insertion products along with small amounts of CH insertion products at ambient temperature. However, the CH insertion products increased significantly at the expense of the ether as the temperature was lowered. The attempted sensitized decomposition of the diazomethane did not lead to an increase in the CH insertion products presumably ...
