Preparation of 1,4-Dioxenes from α-Diazo-β-Keto Esters

Abstract

A novel preparation of 1,4-dioxenes is reported in which a rhodium carbenoid generated from an α-diazo-β-ketoester reacts with a 1,2-diol. Insertion of the carbenoid into the O-H bond followed by hemiacetal formation and acid-catalyzed dehydration generates the targeted 1,4-dioxene.
