A 100 ml quantity of diazomethane ether solution (containing 2.8 g of diazomethane) is prepared from 10 g of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. To the diazomethane ether solution is added dropwise 1.7 g of n-butyl chloride with ice-cooling, and the mixture is thereafter stirred for 30 minutes. Nitrogen gas is passed through the reaction mixture at room temperature to remove the excess of diazomethane therefrom. The ethereal solution is distilled in a vacuum, and the residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, developed with chloroform) to give 1.75 g of light yellow oily 1-diazo-2-pentanone (yield 97.8%).
