Abstract
Abstract Rhodium(II) acetate-catalyzed decomposition of ethyl 2-diazo-3-oxopent-4-enoates results in the formation of either 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-naphthoates or β,γ-unsaturated esters. In the latter transformation, the dianion of 4-(diethylphosphono)acetoacetate functions as a propionate homoenolate equivalent.
