Bis(methoxycarbonyl)carbene Insertion into N-H Bonds: A Facile Route toN-Substituted Aminomalonic Esters

Abstract
Bis(methoxycarbonyl)carbene, generated by the copper(II)-catalyzed fragmentation of 2,5-dichlorothiophenium-1-bis(methoxycarbonyl) methylide (3) undergoes rapid and efficient insertion into the N-H bonds of primary and secondary amines to generate N-substituted aminomalonic esters in good to excellent yields.
