Abstract

"The photochemical decomposition of diphenyldiazomethane in the presence on N-sulfinylamines leads to ketimines. By-products include tetraphenylethylene, benzophenone, thiobenzophenone, and benzophenone azine. This reaction is the first example of carbene addition to a non-carbon containing multiple bond system. Evidence indicates that the carbene adds to the N=S bond of the N-sulfinylamine to give the corresponding thiaziridine-S-oxide which spontaneously decomposes to give ketimine and SO. In the dark N-sulfinylaniline catalyzes the decomposition of diazoalkanes to carbenes. This decomposition presumably takes place through a thiatriazole-1-oxide intermediate. The carbene then reacts either with N-sulfinylaniline to form ketimine, after loss of SO, or with diazoalkane to give olefin"--Abstract, page iii.
