Abstract: Photochemical reactions of diazocarbonyl compounds are well positioned in synthetic practice as an efficient method for ring contraction and homologation of carboxylic acids and as a carbene generation method. However, interpretation of the observed transformations of diazo compounds in electronically excited states is incomplete and requires a careful study of the fine mechanisms of these processes specific to different excited states of diazo compounds resorting to modern methods of investigation, including laser technology. The review is devoted to analysis of new data in the chemistry of excited states of diazocarbonyl compounds.
The bibliography includes 155 references.
