tert-BuOK-Catalyzed condensation of ethyl diazoacetate to aldehydes and palladium-catalyzed 1,2-hydrogen migration for the synthesis of β-ketoesters under solvent-free conditions

Abstract

A mild and convenient method for the condensation of ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) with aldehydes catalyzed by tert-BuOK under solvent-free conditions was developed. The corresponding α-diazo-β-hydroxy esters were further converted into β-ketoesters through palladium-catalyzed 1,2-hydrogen migration under neat conditions. The two-step transformation exemplifies a simple method for the efficient and green synthesis of β-ketoesters.
