Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 2-diazo-3-oxobutanoate (13.1 g, 71.7 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane was added over 12 h to a refluxing solution of benzamide (6.16 g, 50.8 mmol) and dirhodium tetraacetate (786 mg, 1.78 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (75 ml). The mixture was evaporated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography to give tert-butyl 2-benzamido-3-oxobutanoate as a white solid (6.97 g, 51% yield).
