During the course of recent studies on the formation of functionalized cyclopropanes via diazoketones, we required a safe, scalable alternative to diazomethane in the Arndt–Eistert synthesis of diazoketones.1 Trimethylsilyldiazomethane is often touted as a safe alternative to diazomethane, but the opportunity still exists for the in situ generation of diazomethane when using this reagent. Furth...

-Treating NH4-bentonite with diazomethane results in methylation of adsorbed ammonium with the formation of the tetramethylammonium ion. This ion, which can be completely removed through ion exchange, is distinguished in the IR spectrum by a strong band at 1480 cm -1 due to CH3 group bending vibrations. X-ray diffractograms, CEC, and surface area of the clay are not modified by treatment with d...

The cyclo-addition reaction of diazomethane with a,/3-unsaturated sulfones is described. Divinyl sulfone and phenyl vinyl sulfone give 1or 2-pyrazolines depending on the reaction conditions. cisand /rans-l,2-Bis(methylsulfonyl)ethene form pyrazolines, which on reaction with either triethylamine or excess of diazomethane lead to substituted pyrazoles. The addition of diazomethane to doüble bonds...

We report on the first synthesis, kinetic evaluation and application of novel substrate-derived inhibitors against the Staphylococcus aureus cysteine protease-transpeptidase, sortase (staphylococcal surface protein sorting A, SrtA). The peptidyl-diazomethane and peptidyl-chloromethane analogues, Cbz (benzyloxycarbonyl)-Leu-Pro-Ala-Thr-CHN(2) (I) and Cbz-Leu-Pro-Ala-Thr-CH(2)Cl (II) respectively...
