Abstract Trimethylsilyldiazomethane converts maleic anhydride derivatives in alcoholic THF to bisesters. The highly acid and base sensitive natural product cornexistin was converted to its bis-methyl ester in 70–75% yield and to the mixed benzyl/methyl ester in 61% yield. The mixed ester can be converted back to cornexistin via transfer hydrogenation.
