In this paper we describe the unprecedented reaction between alpha-diazo esters 1 and iodine. The reaction, carried out in the presence of aqueous NaHCO3, afforded the Z-isomer of the corresponding unsaturated-2-iodo ester 8. The configuration of compounds 8 was determined using the 3J(C-H) coupling between carbonyl carbon atom and alkene proton. Mechanistic considerations accounting for the observed phenomena and including quantum chemical calculations are proposed.

Abstract
In this paper we describe the unprecedented reaction between alpha-diazo esters 1 and iodine. The reaction, carried out in the presence of aqueous NaHCO3, afforded the Z-isomer of the corresponding unsaturated-2-iodo ester 8. The configuration of compounds 8 was determined using the 3J(C-H) coupling between carbonyl carbon atom and alkene proton. Mechanistic considerations accounting for the observed phenomena and including quantum chemical calculations are proposed.File in questo prodotto:
