Diazomethane Synthesis and Applications (Arndt-Eistert Homologation)

The video tutorial covers the synthesis and applications of diazomethane, a compound used in organic chemistry. It explains the synthesis process from N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluenesulfonamide and highlights its applications in converting carboxylic acids to methyl esters and the Arndt-Eistert homologation. The tutorial also discusses the safety precautions due to diazomethane's explosive nature and introduces the Wolf rearrangement and ketene formation.
