Borane promoted aryl transfer reaction for the synthesis of α-aryl functionalised β-hydroxy and β-keto esters- data

The synthesis of a series of α-aryl or α-alkyl functionalised β-hydroxy and β-keto esters has been achieved by reacting α-diazoesters with boranes, and aldehydes, ketones, anhydrides, nitriles, esters or isocyanates. In a mild reaction protocol, 26 examples are presented in yields up to 73%. The dataset includes detailed synthetic procedures as well as compound characterisation. Research results based upon these data are published at http://doi.org/10.1039/d2ob00643j
