New Diazoalkane-generating Agents and Stable Diazoalkanes

Abstract

N- [(N-Nitrosoalkylamino) methyl] amides were recently reported from author's laboratory as new precursors for generating diazoalkanes. This review introduces N- [(N-nitrosoalkylamino) methyl] -carbamates and N- [(N-nitr osoalkylamino) methyl] benzamides as new diazoalkane-generating agents with their superiorities for practical use and stable diazoalkane-reagents, N, N-dialkyl-4-diazome-thylbenzenesulfonamides, prepared in this way, as new UV-detective labelling agents for acidic substances.
