CH2CN2based
CH2CN2based refers to compounds or materials that incorporate the diazomethane functional group, CH2N2, or related structures as a core component or building block. Diazomethane itself is a highly reactive and toxic gas with the chemical formula CH2N2. It is a simple organic molecule characterized by a carbon atom bonded to two nitrogen atoms and two hydrogen atoms. The molecule exhibits resonance structures, contributing to its unique reactivity.
In the context of chemical synthesis, CH2CN2based entities are often employed as methylating agents. The diazomethane
Beyond its role as a methylating agent, CH2CN2based structures can also participate in other organic reactions,
