Diazo compounds: properties and synthesis
This book is dedicated to Bernd Eistert, who did so much pioneering work with diazomethane. It is a review in two parts: Properties of Aliphatic Diazo Compounds (four chapters), and Synthesis of Aliphatic Diazo Compounds (12 chapters). Under properties are considered spectroscopy, thermal behavior, reactivity toward acids, and photochemistry. Other types of reactivity, such as the Arndt-Eistert Synthesis, are taken up in a chapter on Substitution Reactions of Diazoalkanes. This book is a rich source of information up to 1982, the termination of the literature coverage. An addendum, subdivided according to chapter, provides a condensed presentation of major developments from 1982 to 1986, but it is not complete and misses a number of things, such as the use of I,I-diacetoxyiodobenzene for oxidizing hydrazones to diazoalkanes. The discussion is in general critical and explanatory. Mechanism is incorporated throughout the text, with a careful distinction between what is established and what is speculative. Abundant, carefully drawn structural formulas contribute to the clarity of the work, and the many tables add to its reference value.
