The Studies of Carbenoid Reactions of a-O-Allyl- or a-N-Allyl-a'-diazopropanone Derivatives Catalyzed by Various Metal Ions

Abstract

Both cupric acetylacetonate and palladium(II) acetate are good catalysts to induce the carbon-carbon double bond addition reaction for α-O-allyl- or α-N-allyl-α'-diazopropanone derivatives. The heteroatom did not play an important role in enhancing the carbon-hydrogen bond insertion for compound(3)
