Synthesis and carbene decomposition of functionally substituted diazoacetic acid esters. 8. Cyanomethyl diazoacetate
摘要:
Diazoacetic acid cyanomethyl ester (1) was synthesized, and its chemical conversions were investigated. Catalytic denitration of compound 1 with Rh2-(OAc)4 in CH2Cl2 at 25-degrees-C in the presence of alkenes, dienes-1,3, and alkynes-1 afforded the corresponding cyclopropane- and cyclopropenecarboxylic-3 acid esters in yields of 80-85% and was almost independent of the type of unsaturated acceptor. Competitive interaction methods showed that compound 1 has a high reactivity toward terminal alkenes and alkynes, which is comparable to that of methyl and propargyl diazoacetates.
