Abstract
α-Diazo-β-dicarbonyl compounds were chlorinated using (dichloro)iodobenzene and an activating catalyst. A broad range of reaction rates was observed, which paralleled the relative stability/nucleophilicity of the diazo compounds. Acyclic diazocarbonyls reacted faster than cyclics, and β-diketones were much faster to react than β-keto esters or β-diesters. Lewis acid activation was used for the first time, allowing us to overcome instances of poor chemoselectivity. Though the yields ranged from low to good, this chlorination reaction has again proven a mild and effective halogenation strategy.
