V. Atlan et al., New versatile approach to alpha-hydrazonoesters and amino acid derivativesthrough a modified Japp-Klingemann reaction, CHEM COMMUN, (15), 2000, pp. 1385-1386
Addition of diazonium tetrafluoroborates to an acyl chloride pyridine mixtu
re affords hydrazonoacid derivatives in smooth conditions; this new Japp-Kl
ingemann reaction emphasizes the synthetic potential of electrophilic addit
ion to ketenes.
