Carbene in Rigid Matrix. XI. Temperature and Matrix Effect on Phenylcarbene Processes in Ether and Amine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.55.492

Product distributions from reactions of phenylcarbene with diethyl or diisopropyl ether or diethylamine were found to be highly dependent on reaction temperature.As temperature decreases, the C-O displacement reaction and N-H insertion are decreased.Concomitantly, primary C-H insertion products markedly increase especially at lower matrix temperatures.
