Reaction of Methyl Diazoacetate with Amines Catalyzed by Ru2(OAc)4Cl
摘要:
Reactions of primary and secondary amines with methyl diazoacetate in the presence of Ru-2(OAc)(4)Cl gave the corresponding N-substituted glycine methyl esters in almost quantitative yield. Catalytic decomposition of methyl diazoacetate generates methoxycarbonylcarbene which is inserted into the N-H bond of amines with high regioselectivity.
