Triethylamine → 1-Trichloromethyl-3-methyl-2-butenyl 2-diazoacetoacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-trichloromethyl-3-methyl-2-butenyl acetoacetate (0.575 g, 2 mmole) and triethylamine (0.404 g, 4 mmole) in 10 ml of acetonitrile was added 1 g of polymer-bound sulfonyl azide (prepared by the method of Roush, et al., loc. cit.). The mixtre was stirred overnight at room temperature and filtered. The filter cake was washed with ether, and the slurry was filtered. Solvent was removed by evaporation from the combined filtrates to give 1-trichloromethyl-3-methyl-2-butenyl 2-diazoacetoacetate (0.60 g, 96% yield).
