The direct functionalization of Si-H bonds by the nitrene insertion methodology is described. A copper(I) complex bearing a trispyrazolylborate ligand catalyzes the transfer of a nitrene group from PhI═NTs to the Si-H bond of silanes, disilanes, and siloxanes, leading to the exclusive formation of Si-NH moieties in the first example of this transformation. The process tolerates other functionalities in the substrate such as several C-H bonds and alkyne and alkene moieties directly bonded to the silicon center. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide a mechanistic interpretation consisting of a Si-H homolytic cleavage and subsequent rebound to the Si-centered radical.

Ru(II)-Catalyzed "On Water" direct aryl C(sp2)-H amidation of 2-arylbenzo[d]-thiazole/oxazole with acyl azide is reported under silver-free condition. Deuterium scrambling experiments suggested reversible C-H activation catalyzed by active cationic ruthenium species. The organic solvents such as DCE, DMF, DMSO, MeCN, dioxane, and PhMe were not conducive for the C-H amidation except for PhCl in which case, however, inferior yield (31%) was obtained.

In this work, the annulation of acyl nitrene with alkynes is reported under photoredox/iron dual-catalysis for the synthesis of a series of isoquninalin-2-ones. The reaction is featured with a high reaction regioselectivity and good reaction generality. In particular, the resulting isoquinalin-2-ones could be structurally elaborated into several biologically interesting scaffolds.

Metal-nitrenes are valuable reactive intermediates for synthesis and are widely used to construct biologically relevant scaffolds, complexes and functionalized molecules. The ring expansion of cyclic molecules via single-nitrogen-atom insertion via nitrene or metal-nitrenoid intermediates has emerged as a promising modern strategy for driving advantageous nitrogen-rich compound synthesis. In recent years, the catalytic insertion of a single nitrogen atom into carbocycles, leading to N-heterocycles, has become an important focus of modern synthetic approaches with applications in medicinal chemistry, materials science, and industry.

α-Amino esters are precursors to noncanonical amino acids used in developing small-molecule therapeutics, biologics, and tools in chemical biology. α-C-H amination of abundant and inexpensive carboxylic acid esters through nitrene transfer presents a direct approach to α-amino esters. Methods for nitrene-mediated amination of the protic α-C-H bonds in carboxylic acid esters, however, are underdeveloped.

A straightforward and general strategy for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of β-tryptophans by carboxylic-acid-directed intermolecular C-H amination has been developed. The iron-catalyzed C-H amination of 3-indolepropionic acids with BocNHOMs (Boc, -butyloxycarbonyl; OMs, methylsulfonate) in the presence of the base piperidine provides N-Boc-protected β-tryptophans in a single step with high enantiomeric excess (ee) of up to >99%. Mechanistic experiments and density functional theory calculations support a mechanism through carboxylate-directed iron-mediated C(sp)-H nitrene insertion.
