Conclusions
-
1.
A variety of new o-carbomethoxy-ω-diazoacetophenones and isochromane-1,4-diones were synthesized.
-
2.
The decomposition of o-carbomethoxy-ω-diazoacetophenones in methanol-H2SO4, in constrast to reactions of their o-unsubstituted analogs, takes place via the A-SE2 mechanism. The intramolecular nucleophilic assistance of the o-CO2CH3 group increases the decomposition rate of ω-diazoacetophenones by 13–25 times.
-
3.
A correlation was observed between the acid-catalyzed reaction rates of o-carbomethoxy-ω-diazoacetophenones and Hammet's σ constants for benzene ring substituents.
