There are a variety of examples in the literature of intramolecular CH insertion by diazo ketones. 2 In many of these cases, the diazo moiety was constrained to be quite close to the CH bond into which insertion took place. We have found that CH insertion can be an efficient process even in an acyclic, freely rotating system. We chose to investigate the cyclization of-diazo/3-keto esters because they are readily prepared, by the method of Weiler3· 4 56followed by diazo transfer, 5, 6 and because the resultant ß-ketoesters would be versatile intermediates for further elaboration. The cyclizations that have been (1) Correspondence should be addressed to this author at the De-partment of Chemistry, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19711.(2)(a) For a recent review of intramolecular reactions of diazocarbonyl compounds, see: Burke, S.

Ad-dition of methyl lithium followed by PCC oxidation gave the enone. Exposure to Me2CuLi led to the saturated methyl ketone, which was carbomethoxylated by treatment with NaH and dimethyl carbonate in THF at reflux. We thank Mr. Samir A. Saleh for carrying out this preparation.
