Photochemical reactions of 1,3-bis(diazo)indan-2-one in an argon matrix at 10 K
Abstract
Irradiation of 1,3-bis(diazo)indan-2-one (3) in an argon matrix at 10 K afforded the diazo ketene (7)via the photolabile diazo ketocarbene (5), and further irradiation caused the decomposition of the second diazo group to give strained carbonyl compounds as final photoproducts.
