Upon thermolysis at 40-50 degC, 5-(diazomethyl)-1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole (1) reacts with p-ethyltoluene, p-cymene, p-tert-butyltoluene, p-diisopropylbenzene, durene, and naphthalene to give a mixture of carbene-derived cycloheptatriene/norcaradiene pro

An improved synthesis of 5-(diazomethyl)-1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole (1) has been developed.It fragments to a carbene at 40-50 deg C and reacts with o-, m-, or p-xylene or indan at 40-50 deg C to give high yields of cycloheptatriene products, presumably t
