- C–H insertion to produce the spiro-β-lactone was accomplished by simply exposing the diazo derivative to 440 nm blue LEDs (Kessil lamp) at 50 °C, that favored the formation of a singlet carbene that reacted selectively by insertion into the C(3)–H bond. Spiro-lactones 14 were obtained in 80% yield

- nucleophilicity can be inferred from the NBO charges. Based only on NBO charges, halodiazoacetates may be expected to be even less nucleophilic than diethyl diazomalonate (see Supporting Information File 2 for the numbers). All of the investigated diazo compounds thermally extrude N2 to initially form a singlet
- carbene with an empty p-orbital at the carbene carbon (see Supporting Information File 2 for bond angles and bond lengths). The NBO atomic charges for the singlet carbenes from 1 and 2a,b, and d are shown in Figure 6. The calculations predict the following order of electrophilicity for the carbenes

- standard conditions (25 °C, 1 atm) was found to be 3.4 kcal/mol [20]. Alternatively, indazolium salts 2 can be deprotonated by various bases to give indazol-3-ylidenes 3 [22]. The chemistry of indazol-3-ylidene, which is a singlet carbene, is due to the considerable donor strength of the carbene atom which
