Diphenylcarbene Protected by Four ortho-Iodine Groups: An Unusually Persistent Triplet Carbene

Diphenyldiazomethane with four iodine groups at the ortho positions and two tert-butyl groups at the para positions, i.e., bis(4-tert-butyl-2,6-diiodophenyl)diazomethane (1a-N2), was synthesized as a sterically hindered triplet carbene precursor. Irradiation of 1a-N2 in solution effectively generate...
