Abstract

Ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) is an important organic chemistry synthon, but its use as an industrial intermediate is limited due in part to the safety concerns associated with its instability and high reactivity. In a continuing effort to understand the risk of employing EDA as an industrial reagent, the thermal stability of EDA was studied. Reported are the results of accelerating rate and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments.
