Question

1. Give two methods of preparation of diazomethane.?​

Answer 1

• Diazomethane is prepared by hydrolysis of an ethereal solution of an N-methyl nitrosamide with aqueous base.
• Related functional groups compounds: R-N=N...
• Chemical formula: CH2N2
• Solubility in water: hydrolysis
• Molecular shape: linear C=N=N

Answer 2

Answer:

Preparative Methods: diazomethane is usually prepared by the decomposition of various derivatives of N-methyl-N-nitrosoamines. ... Furthermore, the common procedure using Diazald produces an ethereal solution of diazomethane which contains ethanol; however, it can be modified to produce an alcohol-free solution.
