Ethyldiazoacetate (CAS 105-27-9, C4H6N2O2) is a versatile diazo compound primarily synthesized via the diazotization of glycine ethyl ester. It serves as a critical intermediate in organic synthesis for generating carbene species.
Requires storage at -20°C under inert atmosphere due to thermal instability. Strict explosion-proof protocols are mandatory; personal protective equipment including face shields and blast shields is essential during handling.
