Abstract

Abstract: Convenient syntheses of bis (trimethylsily1) diazomethane (l), trimethylsilyltrimethylgermyldiazomethane (22). and bis (trimethylgermy1) diazomethane (31), utilizing diazo transfer from tosyl azide to the carbanion derived from the corresponding bis (trimethylmetallo) methane or-chloromethane, are described. Both photolysis and thermolysis of 1 produce a carbene which rearranges via methyl migration to silene 3, ...
