RT Journal Article T1 Silver-catalyzed functionalization of esters by carbene transfer: the role of ylide zwitterionic intermediates A1 Gava, Riccardo A1 Fuentes Domínguez, María Ángeles A1 Besora, María A1 Rodríguez Belderraín, Tomás A1 Jacob, Kane A1 Maseras, Feliu A1 Etienne, Michel A1 Caballero Bevia, Ana A1 Pérez Romero, Pedro José AB The reaction of esters with ethyl diazoacetate catalyzed by the complex [F27–Tp4Bo,3CF2CF3Ag(acetone)] generates α-(acyloxy)acetates in moderate to high yields. This is a novel transformation in the context of carbene-transfer reactions from diazo compounds that, according to experimental and theoretical data, is suggested to occur through zwitterionic intermediates.
