Conclusions Protonation on both termini of diazomethane can be observed only under conditions of kinetic control in extremely acidic solutions, when the acidity is reduced only the thermodynamically more stable C-protonated isomer can be seen. Loss of nitrogen from the methanediazonium ion is nucleophile assisted in the very highly acidic medium of H0SO2F/SbF5/SO2ClF. The effect of substituents on both of these fundamentally important reactions is under experimental and theoretical investigation in our laboratories. Acknowledgment.
