Ethyl diazoacetate (N=N=CHC(O)OC₂H₅) is a diazo compound and a reagent in organic chemistry. It was discovered by Theodor Curtius in 1883.[4] The compound can be prepared by reaction of the ethyl ester of glycine with sodium nitrite and sodium acetate in water.

As a carbene precursor, it is used in the cyclopropanation of alkenes.

Although the compound is hazardous, it is used in chemical industry as a precursor to trovafloxacin.[5] Procedures for safe industrial handling have been published.[6]

Another location where EDA was used is in the production of BI-4752, a recently invented 5HT2C agonist that is even superior to lorcaserin.
