Somewhere, I have a reprint of a fairly recent (>2000?) paper
that compares different preps of CH2N2. E.g., Diazald, MNNG,
N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, N-methyl-N-nitroso-urethane as sources
for esterification of PhCO2H. They were looking at time,
number of equivalents needed, yield, etc. About all I
remember for sure is that NMU was the best source (by their
criteria).

The problem is, I can't find the paper using any database at
my disposal, which includes SciFinder, Web of Science, etc.

Does anybody know this "COMPARISON OF CH2N2 PREPS" paper?
Please post the reference. THANK YOU.

Diazomethane is known to be a potential explosive. You risk your life
and the lives of your loved ones by your stupidity. You seem to have
the ability to research. Do you have the ability to think?

Diazomethane is a methylating agent. If you do not have the legitimacy
to purchase diazomethane, like I do, which do not think through tour
objective and consider alternative methylation agents.

Or is your objective in fact to obtain an explosive material without
think through alternatives. If that is the case I advice you to go to
a gunshop. Purchase bulk guncotton. Melt it down with acetone. Now you
have an explosiev and you still run thr greater risk of blowing your
han off. But at least I got you to that point faster than you could
get there on your own steam.

STUPID+

Yes, it's explosive, but it's relatively safe to make and use in
situ. Many chemists do it quite often, and I don't think we all
deserve to be dismissed as "STUPID+" for doing so.

I surely question THAT claim.

No one sells diazomethane (as in "diazomethane in a bottle")
that can be legally shipped by any carrier in the US and
probably in any other civilized (i.e., regulated) country.
Whether as a gas or in solution, it is too explosive under
conditions of temperature, pressure shock and almost every
other routine stability test.

Perhaps you purchase "diazomethane services" and have a step
carried out by a third party (e.g., Aerojet); perhaps you
mean you purchase the precursors. I don't care what you mean.
Your reply was irrelevant to my Q and my purpose.

There is a paper by someone who compared the rates and
efficiencies of esterification of benzoic acid using the
common CH2N2 precursors under standard conditions: Diazald
at 60 C; NMU at O C; etc.

In the hands of competent, trained chemists, the determination
was that NMU gave the fastest, highest yield with the least
waste (something like ~0 C, 10 minutes, 1 eq, 90%). Because
Diazald is prepped at higher temps and requires longer reaction
times and distillation (during which time you can lose CH2N2
due to polymerization or other decomposition), they had much
lower yield and required a much larger excess to obtain a 90%
yield of methyl benzoate.

I know what I am looking for ("the paper") but don't have the
bib info. I have searched the professionals' electronic
databases. I think they (CAS, STN, Web of Sci, Beilstein,
et al) have incorrectly tagged this paper or skipped it
completely. (The databases are FULL of errors and omissions.)
That is why I am asking for help from chemists here (sci.chem)
who read the literature and may remember this paper and can
help me to locate it.)

The paper is in English; it was probably a second tier
journal (OPPI? Synth Commun?). THANK YOU for your help
finding the paper, not for your ad hominen remarks.

You do not have the legitimacy to purchase diazomethane,
like I, ["nicovarse"] do.

You can not purchase it. It is not for sale. The chemicals
for making it are for sale.
It can not be purchased, it is prepared freshly in the lab,
usually in solution, and used immediately in a reaction.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diazomethane
It is so finicky that in contact with ground glass surface will
decompose it. So if handled in the gas phase, the system must
have teflon stopcocks. it is also light sensitive.
It is interesting chemically since on photolysis it gives
CH2 + N2. The CH2 will "insert" in many bonds so, for instance
CH4 + CH2 => CH3-CH3.
From the standpoint of interstellar chemistry, methane
is decomposed in the deep UV to give CH2 + H2, the CH2
can then reaction with methane to give ethane. In this
scheme the photochemistry on a methane rich planet will
eventually give the higher hydrocarbons. Oxygenated and
nitrogenated compounds can arise from the photodecomposition
of water and ammonia and/or their reaction with CH2
Finally diazomethane is not a practical explosive for terrorists.

Finally, back in your own French Meth-Lab things are,
of course, not going too well because if according to you
the CH2 "inserts" itself into many bonds, then it would
stand to reason that CH2 would grab, upon formation,
its own like neighbor first, polymerize and produce
polyethylene... which is why you get only the baggies
in your Meth-lab instead of the stuff within'em, the goodies
that poster "nicovarse" is so desperately after.... ahahaha...

Thomas let me add to this tragic, but very funny thread a
serious note. In his post, which you dug up, Methlab cooker
"nicovar at hushmail.com" als said
::nicvar:: "Back in the 1950s some of us would manufacture MDA"...

So, say "nico" was 20 then, and now 50 years later he is in
his 70's... ahahahaha...and his posts do glaringly show

During my high school vacations I worked an R&D lab

legit pharmaceuticals (like Nico mentions). --- I saw what

There is, of course, far more money to be made, for

Take care, Thomas,
