“…To overcome this drawback, various diazo surrogates have been synthetically explored and this has significantly expanded the repertoire of diazo‐participating reactions . However, the diazo surrogates applied in [2+1] cyclopropenation of alkynes are very limited because the dissociation conditions of most diazo surrogates are hardly compatible with the following cyclopropenation process. As a result, only a few methods are known in the literature, including Warkentin's photolysis of 2‐alkoxy‐3,4‐oxadiazolines, Gevorgyan's rhodium‐catalyzed ring‐opening of pyridotriazoles, Carreira's in situ conversion of trifluoroethylamine into trifluoromethyldiazomethane in aqueous media, and Valdés’ base‐promoted decomposition of 2,2,2‐trifluoroacetophenone tosylhydrazones (Figure ).…”
