One-electron oxidation of phenyldiazomethanes afforded cis-stilbene predominantly.The reaction was independent of the oxidation methods, e.g., electrolysis, copper(II), triarylaminium salts, or photosensitized one-electron oxidtions.The C-C coupling reaction was retarded by introducing α-substituents on phenyldiazomethanes.The ESR spectra of diazoalkane radical cations could be obtained during the electrolysis at low temperature and the resulting spectra revealed their unique electronic structure as ?-radicals for most cases.When a bulky tert-butyl group was substituted, the corresponding ?-radical cation was observed, but the C-C coupling reaction did not occur.The novel HOMO-LUMO switching by one-electron removal from the HOMO ?-orbital of diazomethane is explained by the interaction of phenyl group with the C-N-N ?-radical moiety.The C-C coupling reaction proceeds via facile cycloaddition between the diazomethane and ?-radical cation, and the preferential formation of cis-olefins is based on the secondary orbital interaction between the two phenyl groups.The structure and the stability of radical cation intermediates are rationalized on the basis of ab initio calculations.

Disubstituted diazo compounds rapidly add to P-chloro (bistrimethylsilyl) methylene phosphine at low temperature. 1H, 31P and 13C NMR allow the characterization of the resulting cycloadducts and the establisment of the stereochemistry of the resulting cycloadducts which are potential precursors of ?3λ5 bis methylene phosphorane by nitrogen extrusion.
