DIAZOHYDROCARBONS

Abstract
1-Substituted-1-nitroso-3-nitroguanidines on treatment with aqueous potassium hydroxide solution give diazohydrocarbons. This method has been used to prepare diazomethane, diazoethane, diazo-n-propane, diazo-n-butane, diazo-n-pentane, and phenyldiazomethane. Potassium nitrocyanamide has been isolated as a by-product of this reaction.
