In this paper we describe the unprecedented reaction between α ‐diazo esters 1 and iodine. The reaction, carried out in the presence of aqueous NaHCO 3 , afforded the Z ‐isomer of the corresponding unsaturated‐2‐iodo ester 8 . The configuration of compounds 8 was determined using the 3 J CH coupling between carbonyl carbon atom and alkene proton. Mechanistic considerations accounting for the observed phenomena and including quantum chemical calculations are proposed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
