Ethyl diazoacetate → HCID 45098996, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-cyclopentylethan-1-ol (1.14 g, 10.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) is added rhodium (II) acetate dimer (10 mg) followed by ethyl diazoacetate (0.95 mL, 9.03 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at rt for 0.5 h. The reaction mixture is diluted with heptane, and filtered. The filtrate is evaporated, and the residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel; elution with EtOAc:heptane (1:9) gives 0.81 g of the product 452. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 4.30-4.15 (m, 2 H), 4.09 (d, 2 H), 3.25-3.15 (m, 1 H), 2.00-1.78 (m, 2 H), 1.75-1.35 (m, 6 H), 1.29 (t, 3 H), 1.15 (d, 3 H).
