The photochemistry of diphenylsulfonyldiazomethane (DSD) was studied by means of nanosecond laser flash photolysis. The photochemical behavior of this molecule upon UV irradiation is characterized by sulfene formation, presumed to arise via Wolff rearrangement of a carbene. We were able to detect the sulfene and the sulfene ylide formed upon sulfene trapping by pyridine. Sulfene quenching by nucleophiles was also examined.
