The reaction of carbamate derivatives of pyroglutamic acid esters with the lithium salt of trimethylsilyldiazomethane below -100 deg C gives good yields of the corresponding substituted 6-diazo-5-oxo-norleucine esters; cleavage of Fmoc-substituted products provides a safe, convenient route to the parent acid.
