In 1994, Ye and McKervey published a paper in Chemical Reviews entitled “Organic
Synthesis with α-Diazocarbonyl Compounds”. 1 Our intention then was to draw attention to …

Complex molecular architectures containing cyclopropanes present significant challenges
for any synthetic chemist. This review aims to highlight the strategic considerations for …

Intermolecular cyclopropanation of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted olefins with α-bromo-β-
ketoesters and α-bromomalonates under organophotocatalysis is reported. The reaction …

Pick your Pd partners: A number of catalytic systems have been developed for palladium‐
catalyzed C H activation/C C bond formation. Recent studies concerning the palladium …

This tutorial review presents a description of the controlling elements of intermolecular C–H
functionalization by means of C–H insertion by donor/acceptor rhodium carbenes. These …

Metal carbenes usually possess versatile reactivities that are controlled by the presence of
both the metals and the ligands. Diazo compounds are commonly used for the generation of …

This review covers the addition of diazo compounds to ketones to afford homologated
ketones, either in the presence or in the absence of promoters or catalysts. Reactions with …

From its earliest observation as an unusual reaction only a half century ago, 1 the insertion
of a carbene into a carbonrhydrogen bond has attracted considerable interest because of its …

This critical review discusses historical and contemporary research in the field of transition
metal-catalyzed carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bond activation through the lens of …

In this tutorial review, recent advances in the synthesis of cyclopropane-containing natural
products are discussed, highlighting the application of novel synthetic methodologies and …
