Abstract

Abstract: Photochemical extrusion of dinitrogen from diazo ketones 1-4 matrix isolated in argon at 10-15 K produces a-ketocarbenes 5, 6, and 8. UV-vis, infrared, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy identify the a-ketocarbenes, which are further characterized by trapping with carbon monoxide and dioxygen. Excitation (To-T,) of the a-ketocarhcies leads to rapid ring contraction of 5-9 and slow ring contraction of 6-10 and 8-12. This trend ...
