The BF3·Et2O-induced decomposition of ethyl 2-diazo-3-hydroxy-3,3-diarylpropanoates, prepared by the addition of a series of benzophenones to ethyl diazo(lithio)acetate, is reported and studied. By using acetonitrile as a solvent, the corresponding N-acyl β-enamino ester derivatives are obtained in good yields and with a diverse regioselectivity as the result of 1,2-aryl migration in the vinyl cation intermediates. The factors that govern the migratory aptitude as well as the mechanistic aspects of the reaction are discussed.
