Diazomethane is one of the most versatile reagents in organic synthesis, but its utility is limited by its hazardous nature. Although alternative methods exist to perform the unique chemistry of diazomethane, these suffer from diminished reactivity and/or correspondingly harsher conditions. Herein, we describe the repurposing of imidazotetrazines (such as temozolomide, TMZ, the standard of care for glioblastoma) for use as synthetic precursors of alkyl diazonium reagents. TMZ was employed to conduct esterifications and metal-catalyzed cyclopropanations, and results show that methyl ester formation from a wide variety of substrates is especially efficient and operationally simple. TMZ is a commercially available solid that is non-explosive and non-toxic, and should find broad utility as a replacement for diazomethane.
Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative synthesis of sulfonamides from sulfonyl hydrazides and amines

An environmentally friendly route for sulfonamides has been developed. The oxidative coupling of sulfonyl hydrazides and amines was catalyzed by CuBr2 to produce various sulfonamides with the water and nitrogen gas as byproducts. Preliminary experiments revealed that the sulfonyl radical is likely to be involved in the reaction mechanism.
