Diazocarbonyl compounds have found numerous applications in many areas of chemistry. Among the most developed fields of diazo chemistry is the preparation of azoles from diazo compounds. This approach represents a useful alternative to more conventional methods of the synthesis of azoles. A comprehensive review on the preparation of various azoles (oxazoles, thiazoles, imidazoles, pyrazoles, triazoles, and tetrazoles) from diazocarbonyl and related compounds is presented for the first time along with discussion of advantages and disadvantages of «diazo» approaches to azoles.

Sulfenyl fluorides are organic compounds of sulfur in formal oxidation state +2 with the formula R-S-F. Although the chloride, bromide, and iodide analogues have been extensively described in the literature, arenesulfenyl fluorides remain essentially unstudied. These structures have been implicated as putative intermediates in established processes to access polyfluorinated sulfur species; however, definitive and direct evidence of their existence has not been obtained, nor has a systematic understanding of their reactivity.

A novel iridium-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of naphthylamines and α-diazocarbonyl compounds was developed for the rapid assembly of densely functionalized indoles. This new catalytic process represents the first example of a cascade intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization by the N-H insertion of amines. Various naphthylamines and α-diazocarbonyl compounds could be obtained in high yields with excellent functional group tolerance.

Herein, the hydrogen halogenation reaction of diazo compounds with three new halogenating agents under photoinduced conditions is reported. This method realized hydrofluorination, hydrochlorination, and hydrobromination (56 cases in total, with the highest preparative yield of 94%) without requiring heating, transition metal catalysts or photocatalysts and exhibits a broad substrate scope. Notably, gram-scale synthesis using a continuous flow reactor was performed.

Article Synopsis
  • Lewis acidic boranes, like tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, are identified as effective metal-free catalysts for carbene transfer reactions involving α-diazocarbonyl compounds, which are vital for various functionalization reactions.
  • The study challenges the traditional understanding that boranes facilitate carbene generation primarily through a B-O (C=O) intermediate, instead highlighting B-C(=N=N) bond formation as the preferred method for certain substrates.
  • By investigating 22 substituents on the α-diazocarbonyl backbone and employing machine learning techniques, the research reveals how electronic properties of these substituents significantly influence the effectiveness of boranes in catalyzing carbene formation

An efficient Rh(III)-catalysed C-H functionalization, tandem annulation of -stilbene acids using 2-diazo-1,3-diketones was devised. This protocol solely afforded 6,7-dihydrobenzofuran-4(5)-ones using alicyclic diazocarbonyls decarbonylation and α-pyrones with aliphatic diazo compounds. The chameleonic nature of -stilbene acid was observed with various diazo compounds by altering the additives.
