Diazomethane → 1-Diazo-2-(4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexyl)-2-ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Next at room temperature, 2.0 g of the 4,4-dimethylcyclohexylcarbonyl chloride obtained as above was added dropwise to 100 ml of an ether solution of diazomethane prepared from 10 g of nitrosourea, and the mixture was thereafter stirred at room temperature for about 1 hour. The solvent was distilled off from the reaction mixture in a vacuum, quantitatively giving pale yellow oily 1-diazo-2-(4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexyl)-2-ethanone (Compound I).
