Abstract

This research involves the investigation of possible useful synthetic methods leading to tetraaryldiazoethanes of the type PhPh^IPh^IICC(N₂)PH^III or their precursors. The synthesis of these compounds is of importance since the carbenoid and carbonium ion decomposition of these compounds to tetraaryldiazoethanes would give formation about the nature of these intermediates.
