In the world of organic chemistry, nitrogen-containing organic compounds are ubiquitous, forming the backbone of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and functional materials. To build these ...
Diazo compounds, characterised by the presence of a diazo functional group (–N₂), serve as versatile precursors to reactive metal–carbene intermediates. These intermediates enable a broad array of ...
Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have created a safer method for producing diazo compounds without using hazardous diazomethane. The process uses a Michael addition reaction and ...
