What is a Diazomethane (CH2N2) ?

Diazomethane (CH2N2) is a highly reactive organic compound that exists as a yellow gas. It is widely used in organic chemistry as a reagent for chemical synthesis, particularly in the formation of esters and azides through reactions with carbonyl compounds, alcohols, and amines. Due to its high reactivity, diazomethane is a hazardous substance. It is dangerous to handle directly or inhale, and can be explosive under certain conditions, such as exposure to moisture, heat, or shock. Therefore, it is essential to handle diazomethane with great caution, using appropriate safety measures. It is often used in chemical laboratories or industrial manufacturing processes where controlled reactions are necessary.
