Methionine, S-benzylcysteine and S-allylcysteine were converted into 2-diazo-3-oxo-4-phthalimidocarboxylic esters 8a-c in three steps. Upon rhodium-catalysed dediazoniation, two intramolecular carbenoid reactions competed, namely the formation of a cyclic sulfonium ylide and that of a six-ring carbonyl ylide. The S-methyl and S-benzyl ylides 12a and b could be isolated, while S-allyl ylide 12c underwent a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The short-lived carbonyl ylides derived from methionine an ...[more]
