Triethylamine → HCID 86024925, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-ketoglutaric acid dimethyl ester 15.0 g, triethylamine 9.6 g and acetonitrile 300 ml is portionwise added 4-acetylaminobenzensulfonylazide 20.7 g at 0° C. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. After removal of the precipitate by filtration the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is diluted with a mixture of hexane and diethyl ether (1:1). The insoluble materials are removed by filtration and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified with column chromatography (silica gel 225 g, solvent; hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1→3:1) to give 2-diazo-3-ketoglutaric acid dimethyl ester as a pale yellow oil, 16.03 g.
