Transition-metal-catalyzed C–H activation has developed a contemporary approach to the
omnipresent area of retrosynthetic disconnection. Scientific researchers have been tempted …

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 …

C3‐substituted indoles and carbazoles react with α‐aryl‐α‐diazoesters under palladium
catalysis to form α‐(N‐indolyl)‐α‐arylesters and α‐(N‐carbazolyl)‐α‐arylesters. The …

The asymmetric arylation of diazo compounds with aniline derivatives cooperatively
catalyzed by an achiral dirhodium complex and a chiral spiro phosphoric acid is reported …

Diazo compounds are very versatile reagents in organic chemistry and meet the challenge
of selective assembly of structurally complex molecules. Their leaving group is dinitrogen; …

This paper develops a methodology for cyclometalated iridium complex-catalyzed N-
alkylation of amines with alcohols via borrowing hydrogen in the aqueous phase. The …

Selective transformation of C–F bonds remains a significant goal in organic chemistry, but C–
F insertion of a one-carbon-atom unit has never been established. Herein we report the BF3 …

The direct functionalization of low reactive C (sp3)–H and C (sp2)–H bonds of alkanes and
arenes, respectively, by metal-induced carbene transfer from diazo compounds is reviewed …

A photoactivated neutral organic super electron donor cleaves challenging
arenesulfonamides derived from dialkylamines at room temperature. It also cleaves a) ArC …

Single-electron oxidation and α-deprotonation of tertiary anilines using Fe (phen) 3 (PF6) 3
afford α-aminoalkyl radicals, which can be coupled with electrophilic partners to afford …
