Abstract
The mechanism of the novel reaction of catalytic olefination of carbonyl compounds was studied. The reaction involves the transformation of hydrazones of aromatic aldehydes and ketones into the corresponding dichloroalkenes and symmetrical azines by the treatment with carbon tetrachloride in the presence of CuCl as a catalyst. The stability of intermediate diazoalkanes is the main factor determining the direction of the reaction. In the case of sufficiently stable diazoalkanes, other products can be formed under the reaction conditions along with the products of catalytic olefination.
