Abstract

Abstract Synthesis of β-keto esters by condensing various aldehydes with ethyl diazoacetate is achieved by using molybdenum (VI) dichloride dioxide. Aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic aldehydes are successfully condensed with ethyl diazoacetate to obtain corresponding β-keto esters in high yields at room temperature.
