A general synthetic approach to the isoprostanes has been established, based on intermolecular aldol condensation of a diazo ketone with an unsaturated aldehyde, followed by cyclization of the resulting diazo ketone to the cyclopropane. Subsequent kinetic opening with thiophenol followed by further elaboration then leads to the isoprostane. The history of this approach and the details of its development are discussed.

Photoaffinity labeling is a widely used technique for studying ligand-protein and protein-protein interactions. Traditional photoaffinity labels utilize nonspecific C-H bond insertion reactions mediated by a highly reactive intermediate. Despite being the most widely used photoaffinity labels, diazirines exhibit limited compatibility with downstream organic reactions and suffer from storage stability concerns.

The most convenient and direct method of synthesizing an α-acyloxy ketone is the reaction of a diazo compound with a carboxylic acid via O-H insertion. However, due to the limitations in preparing and storing diazo compounds, the application of this method is restricted. In this study, Cu(OAc)-mediated (OAc = acetate) decarboxylative coupling reactions of 3-indoleacetic acids with sulfoxonium ylides were developed for use in rapidly synthesizing α-acetoxyl ketones.

Acylsilanes are emerging bench-stable reagents for the generation of electron-rich oxycarbenes that are difficult to access with unstable diazo compounds. Herein, we report a siloxycarbene-mediated stereoselective synthesis of silyl enol ethers through visible-light-induced intermolecular reactions between acylsilanes and α,β-unsaturated ketones. Both the solvent and low temperature are important for the success of the reaction.

A rhodium-catalyzed highly stereoselective formal [2 + 4]-cycloaddition reaction of α-diazo pyrazoleamides and 2-aminophenyl ketones that produces 4-hydroxy-2-quinolinones in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities has been developed. A pyrazolium ylide species that is generated from α-diazo pyrazoleamides is used as a C2 synthon for this cycloaddition. This protocol offers an efficient approach to a variety of 4-hydroxy-2-quinolinones featuring sequential quaternary centers.

Transition metal catalyzed C-H bond activation has become one of the most important tools for constructing new chemical bonds. Introducing directing groups to the substrates is the key to a successful reaction, these directing groups can also be further transformed in the reaction. Amidines with their unique structure and reactivity are ideal substrates for transition metal-catalyzed C-H transformations.
