Abstract The 3-cyclohexenyl carbinyl carbene species was formed by the
thermal decomposition of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone sodium
salt and by oxidation of the hydrazone. Several oxidizing agents
were studied. The products were investigated under aprotic and
protic conditions and at various temperatures. The diazocompound
was formed as an intermediate and found to be relatively stable
although extremely sensitive to the conditions. When the diazocompound
was decomposed, the azine and the hydrocarbon products,
both major and minor, were characterized. Under aprotic conditions
the hydrocarbon yield was small and showed a large amount of β-insertion. The β- to γ- insertion ratio decreased as the system
became protic. A comparison of the two methods of carbene formation
is presented.
