Abstract
A safe and fast method for the production of β-hydroxy-α-diazoesters in continuous flow technology is described. The synthesis involves the formation of ethyl diazoacetate in situ and the addition to several aldehydes in a two-step continuous flow microreactor setup. Rhodium acetate catalyzes a subsequent 1,2-hydride shift to give access to β-keto esters in a three-step sequence.
