Catalyst Loading and Product Selectivity in Diazo Decomposition of 8^a

Catalyst (mol %)	11:12^b	E:Z (11)^b	Yield (11 + 12), %^c
110	62:38	66:34	62
80	63:37	63:37	54
10^d	51:49	57:43	82
1	61:39	48:52	76

Reactions were performed by 2 h addition of 8 to refluxing solution of 10 mol% copper(I) hexafluorophosphate in 10 mL of dichloromethane.

Ratios of products obtained by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.

Yields were obtained from the mass of the isolated products and the integrated ¹H NMR ratios for 11 and 12.

Reaction repeated three times with same outcome.
