Diazomethane, CH2?N2? is used in the organic chemistry laboratory despite its danger because it produces very high yields and is selective for reaction with carboxylic acids. Draw the product of the reaction of this compound with excess diazomethane in methanol. As an aid, the structure of initial compound is provided for you in the drawing window. - Use the wedgethash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. - Include Hatoms at chiral centers only. - If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it. - Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading - Should you want to restart the exercise, the drop-down menu labeled = starting points =i can be used to redraw the starting molecule on the sketcher.
