N-H Insertion of Anilines on -Tosylhydrazones Induced by Visible Light Irradiation.

Diazo compounds and their precursors represent an interesting chemical category for organic synthesis. Particularly, -tosylhydrazones have attracted attention for their easy accessibility and diverse reactivity, including carbene transfer reactions. We described a visible light-induced N-H insertion reaction of anilines on -generated diazo compounds.
