Abstract :
Ethyl diazoacetate 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 ethyl diazoacetate as an industrial reagent, detonation tests were completed. The results of these studies indicate that ethyl diazoacetate does not show detonation properties.
