Pyrazolinone carbonyl ylides: novel photochemistry of oxiran and diazo-compounds
Abstract
A series of oxopyrazoline-4-spiro-oxirans and 4-diazo-3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline have been photolysed to generate reactive intermediates incorporating the pyrazolinone ring, which have been trapped with nucleophilic solvents and investigated by spectroscopic techniques.
