The Barton–Kellogg reaction is a coupling reaction between a diazo compound and a thioketone, giving an alkene by way of an episulfide intermediate.[1][2][3] The Barton–Kellogg reaction is also known as Barton–Kellogg olefination[4] and Barton olefin synthesis.[5]
This reaction was pioneered by Hermann Staudinger,[6] and also goes by the name Staudinger type diazo-thioketone coupling.
