Rhodium(II) azavinyl carbenes, conveniently generated from 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles, undergo a facile, mild, and convergent formal 1,3-insertion into N-H and O-H bonds of primary and secondary amides, various alcohols, and carboxylic acids to afford a wide range of vicinally bisfunctionalized (Z)-olefins with perfect regio- and stereoselectivity. Utilizing the distinctive functionality installed through these reactions, a number of subsequent rearrangements and cyclizations expand the repertoire of valuable organic building blocks constructed by reactions of transition-metal carbene complexes, including α-allenyl ketones and amino-substituted heterocycles.

A highly efficient formal allylation of dihydronaphthotriazoles with alkenes under rhodium(II) catalysis is reported. Various allyl dihydronaphthalene derivatives were furnished via rhodium(II) azavinyl carbenes with moderate to good yields and excellent chemoselectivity. When monosubstituted alkenes are used, cyclopropanation occurs and good to excellent enantioselectivities have been achieved.

An efficient and convenient protocol for the synthesis of a novel class of azepino fused diindoles from isatin tethered N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles and indoles has been disclosed. The reaction proceeds via denitrogenative aza-vinyl rhodium carbene formation to give a carbonyl ylide, which with indole results in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition followed by sequential semipinacol rearrangement/ring expansion/oxidation to produce azepino fused diindoles. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope giving up to 81% yield.

A new catalytic reaction in which all the atoms of a formamide are incorporated into the product through a formal stereoselective 1,2-insertion of rhodium(II) azavinyl carbenes, generated in situ from readily available N-sulfonylated 1,2,3-triazoles, into the C═O bond of DMF and other N,N-disubstituted formamides to afford cis-diamino enones is described.

A convenient and efficient synthetic method has been developed to construct highly functionalized N-bridgehead azepine skeletons, which are of great importance in biological and pharmaceutical industry. The reaction proceeds through a rhodium(II) azavinyl carbene intermediate, which initiated the intramolecular C-H functionalization with pyrrolyl and indolyl rings. A variety of azepine derivatives were obtained in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions with high chemoselectivity.
