α-Bromodiazoacetamides – a new class of diazo compounds for catalyst-free, ambient temperature intramolecular C–H insertion reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we introduce a new class of halodiazocarbonyl compounds, α-halodiazoacetamides, which through a metal-free, ambient-temperature thermolysis perform intramolecular C-H insertions to produce α-halo-β-lactams. When carried out with α-bromodiazoacetamides bearing cyclic side chains, the thermolysis reaction affords bicyclic α-halo-β-lactams, in some cases in excellent yields, depending on the ring size and substitution pattern of the cyclic amide side chains.

Highly Enantio- and Diastereoselective Construction of 1,2-Disubstituted Cyclopentane Compounds by Dirhodium(II) Tetrakis[N-phthaloyl-(S)-tert-leucinate]-Catalyzed C‒H Insertion Reactions of α-Diazo Esters
A highly enantioand diastereoselective intramolecular C–H insertion reaction of α-diazo esters has been achieved with the use of dirhodium(II) tetrakis[N-phthaloyl-(S)-tert-leucinate] as a catalyst, providing exclusively cis-2-arylcyclopentane-1-carboxylates in up to 95% ee with no evidence of alkene formation.

An investigation of the intramolecular cyclopropanation reactions of α-diazo-β-ketonitriles is reported. These studies reveal that α-diazo-β-ketonitriles exhibit unique reactivity in their ability to undergo arene cyclopropanation reactions; other similar acceptor-acceptor-substituted diazo substrates instead produce mixtures of C-H insertion and dimerization products. α-Diazo-β-ketonitriles al...

Along with the intramolecular C–H insertion reactions by carbenoids, intramolecular N–H insertion reactions of α-diazocarbonyl substrates catalyzed by metal complex have received considerable attention in recent years. This type of insertion reaction has been shown to be a mild and efficient route to 4-, 5-, and 6-membered aza rings. A frequently cited example of this powerful approach is the M...
متن کاملCatalyst-free intramolecular formal carbon insertion into σ-C-C bonds: a new approach toward phenanthrols and naphthols.
The different reactivity of two kinds of carbonyl groups in keto aldehyde substrates has been exploited for the synthesis of phenanthrols, naphthols, and their heteroatom-containing analogues. Key to this highly efficient and robust methodology is the catalyst-free intramolecular formal diazo carbon insertion of N-tosylhydrazones into keto C-C bonds.
