Abstract: Methyl 2-diazo-3-oxopropionates were obtained by in situ methoxycarbonylation of methyl ketones followed by diazo transfer onto active methylene group of the intermediate β-oxo esters. At the second stage, ‘sulfonyl-azide-free’ (SAFE) diazo transfer protocol in aqueous medium was employed.

Keywords: methoxycarbonylation, β-oxopropionates, diazo transfer, SAFE cocktail, insertion reactions.
