Diazo acetonitrile has long been neglected despite its high value in organic synthesis due to a high risk of explosions. Herein, we report our efforts towards the transient and safe generation of this diazo compound, its applications in iron catalyzed cyclopropanation and cyclopropenation reactions and the gram-scale synthesis of cyclopropyl nitriles.
The Photochemistry of 1-Cyano-2-methyl-3-phenylpropene and Ring substituted Derivatives

The E- and Z-isomers of 1-cyano-2-methyl-3-phenylpropene and ring-substituted derivatives of the E-isomer, are shown to fluoresce and undergo Z-E-isomerization and di-?-methane rearrangement on irradiation.The rate constants for these processes, obtained from fluorescence lifetimes and quantum yields, can be analysed in terms of an initial interaction between the two ? systems, facilitated by partial charge-transfer, followed by two diverging pathways, one, towards a diradicaloid species leading to cyclopropane formation, the other towards a 'zwitterionic' species and relaxation to the ground state and resulting in singlet state Z-E-isommerization.
