Early studies of the photochemistry of parent phenyl azide concerned the products obtained
under specific experimental conditions. Depending on the products, various mechanisms …

The rearrangement of singlet phenylnitrene (1a) to 1-azacyclohepta-1, 2, 4, 6-tetraene (3a)
has been studied computationally, using the CASSCF and CASPT2N methods in …

2, 6-Difluorophenylnitrene and pentafluorophenylnitrene were generated in solid argon at
10 K by irradiation of the corresponding phenyl azides and characterized by IR and UV …

On the basis of the open-shell electronic structure of the lowest-singlet state of
phenylnitrene, it is predicted that substitution of a radical-stabilizing cyano group at an ortho …

The 355 nm time-of-flight negative ion photoelectron spectra of (o-, m-, and p-chlorophenyl)
nitrene radical anions are reported. Electron affinities are obtained from the photoelectron …

(12/11) CASSCF and (12/11) CASPT2 ab initio electronic structure calculations with both the
cc-pVDZ and cc-pVTZ basis sets find that there is a barrier to the very exothermic hydrogen …

At> 200 K photolysis of 1-(2-azidophenyl)-3, 5-dimethylpyrazole (5) gives 1, 3-
dimethylpyrazolobenzotriazole (6, by electrophilic cyclization of singlet nitrene 1 4) or, in the …

A series of para-substituted (H, Me, Cl, F, CF3, OMe, NMe2) phenyl azides bearing a
dimethylpyrazolyl group in position 2 allowing intramolecular trapping of singlet nitrene have …

The chemistry of 2-(1-pyrazolyl)-(2a) and 2-[1-(3, 5-dimethylpyrazolyl] phenylnitrene (2b)
has been studied in EtOH solution at room temperature, in EtOH glasses at 90 K, and in Ar …

The reaction of sodium azide with perfluorobenzene, containing an electron-withdrawing
group, under microwave irradiation results in the fast preparation of p-substituted …
