Abstract
A very mild method of decomposition of various α-diazo carbonyl compounds 1 in the presence of environmentally attractive solid acids such as montmorillonite K-10 or zeolite H-Y in a heterogeneous manner to furnish α-hydroxy/alkoxy ketones in very good yield is reported. Interestingly, novel bicycloalkane-1,3-diones and 3-furanones were obtained as unusual products in the case of aliphatic/alicyclic α-diazo carbonyl compounds.
