THE STUDIES OF METAL ION CATALYZED CARBON-HYDROGEN INSERTION OF α-ALKOXY-α'-DIAZOKETONES DERIVED FROM MANDELIC AND LACTIC ACIDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.3987/COM-90-5515

The cupric acetylacetonate is the best catalyst to induce the carbon-hydrogen inserted reaction for the α-alkoxy-α'-diazoketones derivatives (5 and 6).The side reactions such as aromatic carbon-hydrogen insertion and rearrangement could be prevented.
