Fine Tuning of Thermal Activation and C,H-Insertion Crosslinking of Phenyl Diazo Ester Polymers

Abstract We describe the synthesis and crosslinking of polymers containing substituted phenyl diazo ester moieties. The diazo groups, which are dormant at room temperature, can be thermally activated to generate carbenes by releasing nitrogen. This subsequently causes C−H inserti...
