Combining an electrophilic iron complex [Fe(Fpda)(THF)]2 (3) [Fpda=N,N′-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-o-phenylenediamide] with the pre-activation of α-alkyl-substituted α-diazoesters reagents by LiAl(ORF)4 [ORF=(OC(CF3)3] provides unprecedented access to selective iron-catalyzed intramolecular functionalization of strong alkyl C(sp3)?H bonds. Reactions occur at 25 °C via α-alkyl-metallocarbene intermediates, and with activity/selectivity levels similar to those of rhodium carboxylate catalysts. Mechanistic investigations reveal a crucial role of the lithium cation in the rate-determining formation of the electrophilic iron-carbene intermediate, which then proceeds by concerted insertion into the C?H bond.

The beta-ketoesters of formula I are useful as precursors for organoleptic compounds, especially for flavors, fragrances and masking agents and antimicrobial compounds.
Process for the preparation of pure alkyl alkylacetoacetates
-
, (2008/06/13)
A process for the purification of alkyl alkylacetoacetates of the general formula: STR1 in which R1 is a C1 -C10 -alkyl group and R2 is a C1 -C4 -alkyl group. In the process, an alkyl alkylacetoacetate which contains an alkyl alkenylacetoacetate of the general formula: STR2 in which R1 and R2 have the above-stated meaning, and/or further by-products as an impurity, is converted with an ester of the general formula: STR3 in which R2 has the above-stated meaning, in the presence of a base, into an intermediate which is separated off.
