Development of a simple system for the oxidation of electron-rich diazo compounds to ketones

Abstract

Mild heating of diazo compounds in DMSO furnishes ketone products in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction is particularly effective on electron-rich substrates and exhibits high chemoselectivity, allowing for the use of diazo compounds containing additional oxidation-prone functional groups. This straightforward protocol offers an alternate route to synthetically useful ɑ-ketoesters from readily available aryl diazoacetates.
