Cyclic and acyclic sulfonimides in reactions with Rh (II)-ketocarbenoids: a new access to chemoselective O-functionalization of the imidic carbonyl groups
Catalytic decomposition of diazoacetylacetone, diazoacetoacetic, diazomalonic, and diazoacetic esters using dirhodium tetraacetate in the presence of isothiazol-3 (2H)-one 1, 1- dioxides and a number of N-(arenesulfonyl) carboxamides in solutions of methylene chloride or dichloroethane gives rise to O-alkylation of the imidic carbonyl groups by Rh (II)- carbenoids and the formation of O-alkylimidates as the final products. The reaction ...
