Motivated by the lack of mild and general methods for accessing mono(amino)carbenes, we have developed an approach based on the photolysis of thermally stable N-triftosyl amino hydrazonates with blue light. No additives or catalysts are necessary. The resulting transient aminocarbenes can be trapped by [2+1] cycloaddition and σ-bond insertion reactions.
To support increased transparency, we offer authors the option to publish the peer review history alongside their article.
