Article Abstract
Generation and use of triflyl azide in flow enables efficient synthesis of a range of α-diazocarbonyl compounds, including α-diazoketones, α-diazoamides, and an α-diazosulfonyl ester, via both Regitz-type diazo transfer and deacylative/debenzoylative diazo-transfer processes with excellent yields and offers versatility in the solvent employed, in addition to addressing the hazards associated with handling of this highly reactive sulfonyl azide. Telescoping the generation of triflyl azide and diazo-transfer process with highly enantioselective copper-mediated intramolecular aromatic addition and C-H insertion processes demonstrates that the reaction stream containing the α-diazocarbonyl compound can be obtained in sufficient purity to pass directly over the immobilized copper bis(oxazoline) catalyst without detrimentally impacting the catalyst enantioselectivity.

ConspectusIn the past decade, single-atom skeletal editing, which involves the precise insertion, deletion, or exchange of single atoms in the core skeleton of a molecule, has emerged as a promising synthetic strategy for the rapid construction or diversification of complex molecules without laborious synthetic processes. Among them, carbene-initiated skeletal editing is particularly appealing due to the ready availability and diverse reactivities of carbene species. The initial endeavors to modify the core skeleton of heteroarenes through carbon-atom insertion could date back to 1881, when Ciamician and Denstedt described the conversion of pyrroles to pyridines by trapping haloform-derived free carbene.

Alkyl sulfones are found in numerous valuable organic molecules. Here, we describe a promising approach for the one-pot synthesis of alkyl sulfones under visible light. Aryl diazo salts were allowed to react with styrene derivatives and sodium metabisulfite in the presence of thiophenol as a hydrogen atom transfer reagent and rhodamine B as a photocatalyst to yield alkyl sulfones.

The synthesis of pyromellitic diimides (PMDIs) through visible-light-promoted copper-catalyzed reaction of diazo arylidene succinimides has been accomplished without the use of external oxidants. This transformation involves a carbon radical from diazo arylidene succinimides with a copper catalyst or photocatalyst via the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process. This approach successfully challenges a long-standing paradigm in the synthesis of PMDIs.

Molecular rearrangement via carbene transfer is a powerful tool to access molecular diversity. Herein, we describe an efficient approach to selective pyridyl/aryl relocation via a rhodium-catalyzed aminoarylation of diazo compounds, providing a promising strategy to access -pyridyl N-alkylated pyridone scaffolds in a single operation. This reaction features the novel reactivity of oxy-pyridinium ylide, rhodium-associated five-membered transition state, and 1,4-pyridyl/aryl relocation.

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
