Bis(2,6‐dimethylphenyl)diazomethane (1b‐N2) having 10‐(4‐tert‐butyl‐2,6‐dimethylphenyl)‐2,7‐di(phenylethynyl)‐9‐anthrylethynyl groups at the 4,4′‐positions was synthesized. Triplet diphenylcarbene31b was generated by photolysis of the precursor and was characterized by electron spin resonance and UV–Vis spectroscopies at low temperature, and laser flash photolysis techniques at room temperature. Irradiation of 1b‐N2in a 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran matrix at 77 K gave electron spin resonance signals ascribable to triplet carbene31b. UV–Vis spectra of31b were obtained by irradiating 1b‐N2under identical conditions. The laser flash photolysis of 1b‐N2in a degassed benzene solution gave transient absorption bands ascribable to31b, which decayed in a first‐order fashion with a rate constant of 0.46 s–1. The carbene was shown to be less reactive than the triplet bis(2,6‐dimethylphenyl)carbene (31a) having 9‐anthrylethynyl groups at the 4,4′‐positions, which decayed in a second‐order fashion with a rate constant (2k/εl) of 0.69 s–1. Triplet carbene31b was trapped by oxygen to generate ketone oxide 1b‐O with a rate constant of 1.9 × 107M–1s–1and also by 1,4‐cyclohexadiene with a rate constant of 1.2 M–1s–1. Similar studies with diphenyldiazomethanes (1c‐N2and 1 d‐N2) having bulky substituents, 10‐(4‐tert‐butyl‐2,6‐dimethylphenyl)‐2,7‐bis[3,5‐di(phenylethynyl)phenylethynyl]‐9‐anthrylethynyl and 10‐(4‐tert‐butyl‐2,6‐dimethylphenyl)‐2,7‐bis(9‐triptycylethynyl)‐9‐anthrylethynyl groups at the 4,4′‐positions respectively indicated that the corresponding triplet carbenes31c and31 d were more persistent than31b. Steady‐state irradiation of 1a‐N2, 1c‐N2, and 1 d‐N2in degassed benzene afforded tetraarylethenes 2a, 2c, and 2d in 83, 50, and 51% yield, respectively. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
