Abstract:
Mesyl azide generated in situ in aqueous medium converted a range of active methylene substrates into the corresponding diazo compounds in good yields and high purity with no need for chromatographic purification. The products thus obtained are suitable for the subsequent RhII-catalyzed O–H insertions with no need for chromatography in the interim.
Keywords:
diazo transfer, sulfonyl azides, in situ generation, mesyl azide, active methylene compounds, aqueous medium.
