Methyl phenyldiazoacetate is the organic compound with the formula C6H5C(N2)CO2Me. It is a diazo derivative of methyl phenylacetate. Colloguially referred to as "phenyldiazoacetate", it is generated and used in situ after isolation as a yellow oil.
Methyl phenyldiazoacetate and many related derivatives are precursors to donor-acceptor carbenes, which can be used for cyclopropanation or to insert into C-H bonds of organic substrates. These reactions are catalyzed by dirhodium tetraacetate or related chiral complexes.[1] Methyl phenyldiazoacetate is prepared by treating methyl phenylacetate with p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl azide in the presence of base.[2][3]
Solid state structure of t-BuO2CC(N2)C6H4NO2, a representative donor-acceptor carbene related to the title compound. Key distances: C-N = 1.329 Å, N-N = 1.121 Å.[4]
